Haha, when I started using Google the opposite was true...I used Google because it was this new thing no one had heard about yet, and everyone was using Yahoo, Hotbot, Lycos, Alta Vista, etc.
That, and the results were infinitely better. Searching used to be a process of hitting up a couple search engines first, Yahoo was the best, putting the most relevant results up top, but more obscure topics wouldnt not yield anything useful..so then you would try a couple others like Lycos or Excite, and if those were still giving you trouble, you went to Alta Vista, which gave you EVERYTHING but somtimes took 10+ pages to find what you wanted.
But anyway, to the topic, it is all about saturating you with their services...they do probably get *some* money from results on your mobile, but they bank on you coming back to their desktop counterparts and really raking in the ad revenue for them there.
