Key paragraph: where will the money come from?
Google hasn't released a software product which can make money for them, except (potentially) as an ad vehicle.

Quoting:
Google faces formidable competition from the other Web portal companies, and financial returns from its expanded product line and developer outreach won't be totally clear for some time, said Gartner analyst Allen Weiner.

My best hypothetical strategy is the hope that all computing will be run from the web. Anything connecting to the web and providing value will be a conduit for advertisers. Thus the interest in developers; the more users (not customers), the more they can charge for the ads.

Google, your biggest source for advertising in the whole wide web.


If you can think of a better hypothesis, I'll listen.
