Android is the dominant OS, and Google benefits
more if the phone makers sell at razor thin margins.
Why? Because phones become cheaper, giving more
people access to Google's OS and digital store. The
mobile game is shaping up to look exactly the same as
the PC game except that Microsoft has been replaced by
Google and there is added money in the form of app
stores. Apple still holds the #2 seat (by operating
system volume), although it looks like they are a much
stronger No. 2 than in the prior PC battleground.
Google shareholders will be pleased to see Samsung as
a less powerful player. It isn't good for Google if
Samsung is too powerful in terms of hardware market
share and profit share. Google benefits more if the power
is spread out among hardware vendors such that none of
them really have any power.
So just in case you were wondering, Samsung's
weakness has nothing to do with any weakness for
Android or Google. Instead,may be Google is probably
thrilled to see more of a balance in power shifting to
them.
