Android 2.x handling the ‘F’ word

— Jul 2 2010

Google’s latest platform versions breakdown came out 3 days later this time. The expected time was last Tuesday. The good thing though is that Android 2.x now seems to handle well the ‘F’ word (aka ‘Fragmentation’). Since mid-June, Android 2.x has grown from 50.3% to 54.9% outgrowing earlier Android versions like 1.5 and 1.6.

In addition, on a post about a month ago regarding Android platform versions, I mentioned  it would be nice to have a historical analysis of this data. I was glad to see that the latest platform versions stats came along with a nice stacked line graph providing a history of the relative number of active Android devices running different versions of the Android platform.

Each dataset in the timeline is based on the number of Android devices that accessed Android Market within a 14-day period ending on the date indicated on the x-axis.

It looks like that Android 2.x is taking over control. What version are you running?
