Android 2.x now on 70 percent of all active Android phones

[zerocool84]

Time to get down and boogie if you think the Android fragmentation issue is overblown. Google has dropped its latest platform version stats and Android 2.2, aka Froyo, has managed to corner a healthy 28.7 percent of all active Googlephones (those that accessed the Market within the two weeks leading up to September 1), rapidly closing the gap on version 2.1 and nearly matching in number the handsets still stuck on the Cupcake or Donut diet. When you consider that back in May those pesky 1.5 and 1.6 versions were on a whopping 62 percent of Android mobiles, you'll probably agree that phone makers seem to be getting their act together in terms of delivering Google's latest wares in a timely fashion. Who'd have thought it, the more practice they have, the better they're getting at their jobs!

This is very good news.

I want 2.2 for my Galaxy S already.

I'm curious what the 1.5 and 1.6 devices are. Samsung Moments and Beholds? Dell Streak? G1s still kicking?

I still know a lot of people with G1s

 

[Oyeve]

Really surprised at how many 1.5 and 1.6s out there. Just gave my behold 2 to my son, he hates it but hey, its a phone.

Yep. My friend still uses a G1, bought it when it first came out.

 

[rudeguy]

I wonder if this number includes people using custom ROMs?

If its going by what the Market sees, I'm sure it does.

Hmm... lots of Motorola phones there.

Oh yeah

+Galaxy (original Samsung Galaxy obviously). But at least Samsung got 2.1 to the Moment and Galaxy Spica

 

[Deeko]

Yea I think Moto realized that the original Blur was terrible, and not worth their engineering time to update it. Sucks for those that purchased those phones.

 

[Kabob]

Bought a Galaxy S Fascinate on Sat with 2.1 and Bing Search. I hear that Froyo will allow me to switch to Google search but here's to hoping...

The Moment got 2.1 so all that's left really are the older Moto phones, G1, and a few others.
