Android 2.2 is now the dominat version of Google's operating system on mobile devices, towering over older and newer variants of the OS with a 61.3% market share, according to latest data released by Android Developers.
Although the pie chart shows more Android versions than ever before (due to the arrival of tablet-specific Android 3.0 or Honeycomb), Android as an OS has rarely been less fragmented than now.
In December 2010, 43.4% of devices were running Android 2.2 and 39.6% of devices were running Android 2.1, which made it tough for developers who had to take both versions as well as the upcoming Froyo into account when developing their apps – and even the market share of Android 1.5 and 1.6 was a significant 16.9% combined.
Now, most developers can finally forget about pre-2.0 versions and focus on developing for 2.1 and 2.2. Android 2.3/2.3.3 or Gingerbread is what’s coming next, but – somewhat surprisingly – it only powers a negligible 1.7% of devices. Android 3.0 currently powers only 0.2% of all Android devices, but with all the Android tablets that launch this year, we expect this number to rise significantly in the months to come.
