Just last night I write a post that goes semi-viral:

Has there ever been a bigger, costlier failure in high tech than Android?

PandoDaily jumps on this -- without attribution -- and this afternoon writes:

How Google can save Android:

The numbers ought to ring alarm bells in Mountain View. They prove the folly of Google’s Android business model: Free and “open” (or clopen) may make money someday, but it’s hard to see how it’s ever going to make Apple-like profits.

But what has a free Android done for Google? Not much, really. According to Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster, Google makes between $6 and $10 in ad revenue per Android user per year. That’s not nothing; going by the latest reported rate of 255 million new Android phones a year, that’s about $2.5 billion in revenue on Android. But that pales in comparison to Apple’s iPhone revenues ($20 billion in the last quarter alone).

Exactly as I"ve stated.

There's a lot of greatness in Silicon Valley. But, honestly, most of it's just copies and rip-offs.

We should not expect less from the bloggers that cover the Valley.
