Gotta give it up to Sammy and HTC for pushing out these updates promptly. If only the carriers could do the same.

How can the numbers be out for March already? We are only 5 days into the month.

It's not for March. It's actually for February but it's published at the beginning of March. The title isn't the best

The adoption rate is still much lower than it should be though.

Looking at the source link, Froyo is small. Thats a good thing. It was good when it launched tho. Eclair and older is almost gone. Thats good news.
Devices with ICS installed is almost as big as GB. Thats also good news. Jelly Bean is fine...but there needs to be more phones on ICS.
Some of it is phones released with older Android versions too...low end, maybe mid range phones.

It's quite a bit easier to update all your phones when the number of models can be counted on 2 hands, and you don't have carriers d**king around with your updates.

And Gingerbread still keeps performing better than iOS6 :)

I think the adoption rate is fine for how much diversity there is.

This could mean that either Google is going so fast with the major updates and the OEM's and carriers are too slow. Seriously, I think Google comes out with another major update even before the latest OS matures. That explains why update adoption is not good and that the OEM's and carriers are playing catch up.
