CNN
Making money on Android.

CNN Money has an interesting story about monetization, advertising, 3rd party app distribution, etc.
Note the observation in the second-to-last paragraph, about openness to 3rd party developers diluting the app landscape with a lot of junk; we definitely see this problem with Windows mobile apps. This is the other side of openness, and something Apple has been trying to avoid with the iPhone.
