Today they are making nothing but in 5 years 70-80% of the search business will be from mobile devices. Android is for protecting Google's future rather than present.
If Google had not come out with Android, Microsoft would be selling its mobile OS and making billions at the moment so who is loosing money and making money on Android is a matter of opinion.
Microsoft has been trying to claw back into the search market where as google is trying to get into Microsoft's main earner corporate software etc. Its an interesting battle to see so far I think Google is winning as it has got millions to use its OS and has been slowly weaning people off Microsoft.
