Android version numbers show slight uptick in Gingerbread

Android version numbers

Another month, another batch of numbers showing us the percentage of devices running the various builds of Android. And the numbers haven't change greatly since our last look a month ago.

The big winners (and "big" is relative here) -- Android 2.3.3, not even the latest version of Gingerbread -- that'd be Android 2.3.4 on the Nexus S and Nexus One -- jumped from 3 percent to 8.1 percent. (Update: Google just explained that one to us: The chart's really sorted by API level, so don't worry that Android 2.3.4 isn't visible.)  Otherwise, things are as you'd expect. The older versions continue to dwindle -- Eclair's down to 21.2 percent, and Froyo's dropped a little more than a percentage point to 64.6 percent.

As for Honeycomb? Pretty much no change at 0.3 percent for Android 3.0 and Android 3.1. Now, you might be tempted to extrapolate that to the 400,000-some-odd devices being activated a day, and that'd give you about 2,400 Honeycomb devices being activated every day. But that's bad math. Remember that this chart is aggregate -- from the dawn of time until now. So you're comparing Honeycomb devices against the millions of other devices out there. Food for thought.
