I stand corrected! The license fees are paid to the various patent holders and represent about $60 per device according to some analysts. My memory was a bit fuzzy but recall Google disclosure on it when they tried to buy out Nortel patents, which would have enabled them to get the fees themselves. Today, Google steps aside and offers no support for phone makers letting them suffer the wrath of all those patent infringement claims. Open source spirit does not exempt one from patent infringement. Originally Posted by berck Join SatelliteGuys on the Home Theater Cruise, November 25-Dec 2.

I see both sides of the argument here.
iOS/Apple is kind of a "one size fits all" environment. You can only get them from one manufacturer (Apple) and you have to like what they give you for an OS. That's great when it comes to conformity... So much for Think Different though
On the other hand, Android is a very diverse environment -- many manufacturers (with IMO silly) skins to differentiate and the model cycle times are much quicker. Good / bad or just different ? Probably the last one.
Apple's real advantage isn't with any of these though. It's with their App Store and iTunes which is additional money in the bank on top of their stellar phone sales. I hope Google is sharing some of the Market revenue with the manufacturers as without it Apple may have the long term edge. And by long term, I'm talking 5-10 years from now. That's an eternity in the rapidly evolving mobile space.
