[color=#000000][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=4][left]The latest Android platform versions distributions chart was [url="http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html"]announced[/url] yesterday after the Android Developers’ website collected data for two weeks, and the share results reaped a few surprising figures.[/left][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=4][left]Gingerbread gobbled 55 percent of the share, and Froyo landed at second place with 30 percent. However, according to last month’s results, Gingerbread increased from 50.6-percent while Froyo decreased from 35.3-percent. The statistical difference may be due to Froyo smartphones receiving an upgrade or Gingerbread smartphones seeing an increase in activations over the holiday season. Google recently [url="http://9to5google.com/2011/12/28/andy-rubin-there-were-3-7m-android-devices-activated-on-christmas-eve-and-christmas-day/"]announced [/url]it added 3.7 million devices on Christmas.[/left][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Georgia, Times, serif][size=4]
Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, is making the biggest amount of noise with these latest results. Ice Cream Sandwich devices -only the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S for now- account for just .6-percent of the share of all of the devices that have called the Android market in the last two weeks. If that total is near the 200 million that Google [url="http://9to5google.com/2011/11/16/google-weve-activated-200-million-android-devices/"]announced in November[/url], that means over a million Galaxy Nexus Devices have been activated in the few weeks since release.[/size][/font][/color]

Ice Cream Sandwich unveiled at the “[url="http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/index-live.html"]May 2011 Google I/O” event[/url], and it officially launched Oct. 19, 2011.
Eclair slid down the totem pole with 8.5-percent of the share, down from 9.6-percent last month. Meanwhile, Honeycomb accounted for 3.3-percent, which is a notable jump from the 2.3-percent. Its small percentage may correlate to the number of Android smartphones available thus having a negative impact on Honeycomb’s minimal existence.
The two oldest Android platforms, Cupcake and Donut, came in first and second places, respectively, with a combined 1.7-percent of the share.
Ice Cream Sandwich’s share is sure to climb over the next few months; however, significant leaps will only occur when OEMs start to update Gingerbread devices and after new devices launch with the operating system preinstalled.
