They're also showing that the market trends are in Androids favor as even free (ad sponsored apps) will get downloaded millions of times on android devices. Sure, if your apps are filling a niche big enough that a few thousand will buy it, you're in good shape. But if an app is rather average, a few million pennies are also good. That $19B in Android revenue could easily pass the $22B iOS if volume of devices sold continues this trend.
So, volume of devices sold CAN reflect your profitability if you use ad frameworks at least partially. Some will pay for an ad-free upgrade. So, I don't discount the Android market as being a mere afterthought. In fact, I personally have only purchased apps for Android, or desktop. Maybe there was just 1 for iOS a couple years ago.
