As suspected, Google’s latest platform versions breakdown came out ~2 weeks after the latest report. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that the platform versions report will be updated on a more steady frequency from now on, that is every 2 weeks. If so, it would be nice to have a historical analysis of this data.

Note: This data is based on the number of Android devices that have accessed Android Market within a 14-day period.

Today’s platform versions report shows Android 2.1 gaining significant ground on other platform versions, rising from 37.2% to 45.1%. Incredibly, now almost half Android devices out there are running Android 2.1. It is also notable that Android 1.5 dropped from 34.1% to 27.6%.

But I guess that the Android “fragmentation” problem will probably be there for quite some time yet. Especially now with the forthcoming Froyo release possibly coming this or the next week.

Update: There has been some interesting buzz on Android “fragmentation” since Reto Meier made a post about it. Read more here.
