New Platform Distribution Figures Show More of the Same [Froyo Dominates]

32

It’s that time of the month again – Google shows us a breakdown of Android versions across all officially certified devices. We last visited this two weeks ago, but much hasn’t changed since then. Without even looking at the numbers, Froyo is still on top by a wide margin, Android 2.1 is still out and about but is slowly dipping, Android 1.5 and 1.6 are nearly obsolete, and Android 2.3 and 3.0 aren’t in enough devices to make significant blips on the pie chart.

We expect to see these numbers change a lot in the next couple of months as the latest round of handsets and tablets are set to be released before and at the beginning of summer. We’re hoping that Honeycomb share will jump a ton, but we won’t be holding our breath. Get a look at the breakdown above. [via Android Developers]

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

    1. I did not recognize the “disclaimer” at the very bottom as part of the article. I do not speak for anyone else involved with Phandroid with this statement, but I disregard April Fools’ day in everything I do. It’s just not a date that I put any special stock into. You cannot expect me to be aware of such childish jokes at every moment of that stupid, foolish day. I’ve unpublished the article and have since moved on. Please promise me you will do the same.
