Although the past few months have seen an explosive growth in the popularity of Android, there have been fears that many devices will get stuck on older versions due to device manufacturers not rushing to update them. Indeed, the new statistics show that 35.2% of devices are still at 2.1, 7.9% - at 1.6, and 4.7% - at all antique 1.5.



As the chart shows above, the share of 2.2 is steadily growing, but a turning point and the beginning of dominance has occurred in the past few weeks. Growth 2.2 is due both to an increase in the number of devices that have been updated, and the release of new devices on FroYo.

The latest version, 2.3, is only 0.4% so far; it is only supported by the recently released Nexus S.

Looking forward to 3.0.
