Google: we can make $10bn a year from Android

Ah, that's why they built it.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt was talking to WSJ about its progress in the online ad sales market, and alluded to the plan to make big money from its mobile activities.

“If we have a billion people using Android, you think we can’t make money from that?” Schmidt said. It would only take $10 per user per year.

Android registers 160,000 new handset activations per day, and with AdMob being integrated, you can see why Schmidt might be so optimistic.
