Why are manufacturers losing money on Android?

It isn't just that. It seems like whenever HTC put a device out, they feel the job is done. Compared to Samsung HTC does nothing in advertising. I do not watch a ton of network TV, but I cannot go an hour without a samsung commercial.

I really suspect - but can't prove - that financial mismanagement (not saying impropriety, so don't go there) is taking place in the hardware industry, just because of how new this whole arena is. I think the makers of Android devices could be smarter in their business planning and execution. Just my honest two cents.

So what you mean is it's like regular business? JK.

Bingo Bango. Or just mostly trying to keep up as well since iPhone turned everything upside down when first launched. But now they have caught up but need to fight each other.
