This isn't even a well formed question. How would you compare the two? There isn't even one Android phone to point to as the basis of comparison, or one corporate bottom line.

Do we count the money lost by Samsung in this last flub? Do we count Xiomei even though their economics are quite different from Apple?

Everyone is so eager to justify the idea that Apple "won" a war of some sort. Jaded tech writers on their throne of paper and blood pronouncing it "done" because they're bored, while the stuff we've seen in Microsoft and Google's R&D demos suggest it's just getting started.
