Gingerbread gains, Froyo fades in the latest Android breakdown
Share:
Gingerbread itself can be broken down. Android 2.3.3-2.3.4 has a 17.6% slice of the Android pie while Android 2.3-2.3.2 is in just 1% of the total Android universe. The latest version of Gingerbread, Android 2.3.4, supports gTalk, and as more handsets are launched, you should see a major pickup in this build.
As we reported, the next version of the Google OS for phones will be 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich. Android 3.0 and 3.1, also known as Honeycomb, are optimized for Android tablets and can be found in .9% of all Android devices. Ice Cream Sandwich will bring some of Honeycomb's features to Android handsets. Rounding out the remaining builds, Android 2.1 still can be found in just over 17% of Android handsets while Android 1.5 and 1.6 own 3.6% of the total.

Hows that Gingerbread 2.3 update coming along for my SOCK VANILLA TMo LG G2X that supposedly is to be easy to update due to no UI overlays?
This wait ....and my reboots....freezing.....lock ups are getting frustrating folks! WHAT GIVES?!?! I am an increasingly frustrated yet patient TMo customer.......

And get updates on time without a lot of Android bugs and glitches. Kind of ironic that Google can't even fix all the problems with Androids despite with all the updates.

Yea...this question will remain unanswered....especially seeing how the Droid X1 and Droid 2 got updated, the EVO 4G, The Galaxy S 1 line....
All with custom UI's.

galaxyS hasnt been upgraded officially in the US. Thats another 5 million or so androids just from 1 phone. That will change the pie pretty decently.
LG is slacking. They obviously havent learned from samsung and sony's upgrade fiascos. Honeycomb 3.2 is about to launch and they wont even give a timeline for the 3.1 upgrade on the G-Slate either. GRR!!
