World's most profitable Android company? Microsoft!

This is a continuation of legal battle and lawsuit of patents.. Out of all people involve with Android, the biggest winner of profits is no other than Microsoft.
"Goldman Sachs estimates that Microsoft will pick up $444-million in revenue from its Android patent deals for fiscal year 2012. For those of you playing at home, that’s $3-$6 per Android device. Yes, that may well be more than Microsoft makes from its own troubled mobile operating systems."
So the irony is that Andriod that is "open" is not really open. With patent violation and legal matters, Microsoft seem to made out a bit on the Android. The better question is another legal lawsuit is pending.
