> Apple won the first battle for the smartphone. Now google is winning[...]
Hardly. The Nexus series of phones have not exactly been tearing up the sales charts. Google is probably close to last in the battle for the smartphone.
But that's OK, since Google is not seriously in the smartphone war. The companies in the smartphone war are Apple, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and so on. Google's role is, to continue the war analogy, that of an arms supplier. They provide arms to some of the combatants.
