Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Running on 55 Percent of Android Devices

According to the latest data from Android Developers, Android 2.3 or Gingerbread is installed on 54.9% of all Android devices, while Android 2.2 or Froyo is installed on another 30.4% of all Android devices.
Out of all the older and now obsolete Android versions only Android 2.1 (Eclair) has a significant market share – 8.5%, while earlier versions have less than 2% put together.

Of course, this almost ideal situation – given how badly the Android platform has been fragmented at certain points in the past – won’t last long. The newer versions – Android 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0 are looming behind the corner, and most upcoming Android devices run or at least support one of these.

Curently, neither Android 3.x nor Android 4.0 has a significant market share, but this will change drastically in 2012.
