I don't see the advert

Where's the advertising? Where's google's money maker?

I can see no way for google to tie users into using google's pieces considering every service can be replaced by third party apps. Microsoft could replace all the google bits with Windows Live services.

The only 'unusual' thing I see here is that the software isn't open source like people have made out. It's an open platform like Symbian but google owns the source and it's keeping it. This may be good for all parties for the moment but I think google won't be giving it up any time soon.
