Every two weeks Google releases the Android distribution numbers to the masses. The biweekly survey reports what version of Android that a device is running when it accesses the Market. Developers should note that a whopping 58 percent of devices are now running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This is especially important in determining which software version to prioritize when creating or updating applications. Android 3.0 Honeycomb is currently at 3.4 percent, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is only at 1 percent. It seems it will be a little while before they share in Android world domination.
In November of 2011, only 44 percent of devices were running Gingerbread. What caused this large increase in a relatively short amount of time? Perhaps a shiny new Android was the go-to gift during the holiday rush. What do you think?
