Android earned Google $22 billion in profit, says Oracle

3/ or it gave Oracle its overall mobile revenue and Oracle did some rough math, based on knowing Google made more from iOS than Android. Wall Street, which has criticized Google for spending money on efforts that don’t deliver an immediate payoff, will now have a better understanding of how big of a money-making engine its Android business really is.

Oracle now has Google entrenched in an on-going legal battle.

According to the official blog post, “now when you search for “weather” or ask Google, ‘will it rain today?’ in the Google app on your Android phone, you’ll get a wealth of new information”. However, when Google announces their earnings each quarter, they don’t tell us how much they make from Android and a number of other services and products they have.

This information was derived from internal Google financial documents that Google has designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” under the Protective Order that governs this case.

The case is Oracle America Inc. v. Google Inc., 10-cv-03561, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

The transcript vanished without a trace from electronic court records at about 3 p.m. Pacific standard time with no indication that the court ruled on Google’s request to seal it.

This is part of Oracle’s ongoing lawsuit with Google. Oracle is seeking royalties for Google’s use of some of the Java language, while Google argues it should be able to use Java without paying a fee. The attorney cited testimony from a Google engineer that the alternatives to Oracle’s software “all suck”. That’s changing, however, thanks to a fresh new update to the Google app.
