Last week was Google's annual event, Google I / O, where, among other news, we got to know the new version of the house operating system for mobiles and tablets. We are talking about Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, an edition that will begin to arrive officially from this month of July to compatible terminals "" starting with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom, continuing with the Nexus S and perhaps some surprises "". In this context, it is reasonable to expect that the share occupied by what until now was the most advanced platform in the house, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, will start to take off.
Google's ice cream sandwich has not quite displayed its presence among the terminals that make up the Android device park, although little by little it is gaining ground. According to the latest data provided by the Mountain View- based company itself, what is still the latest commercial version of the firm is already installed in almost eleven percent of compatible mobiles and tablets.
Specifically, between editions 4.0, 4.0.2, 4.0.3 and 4.0.4, this edition of Android can already be located in 10.9 percent of the terminals in this ecosystem, which means that one in ten devices registered in this category have already been updated to the latest "" with permission, always, from Jelly Bean "".
What was the specific version for tablets alone, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, seems to be suffering ostracism from the Californian firm. Only 2.4 percent of the tablets in the Android category carry this edition of the system, and everything seems to indicate that the majority will be blocked in that version, since there are practically two updates that separate it from the most advanced environment of home.
On the other hand, Gingerbread is still king. The vast segment of mobile of midrange that populate the market with platform Android has been an accolade remarkable face the daunting presence of some versions of Android 2.3 in the sector, reaching a total of the 64 percent of the park with these versions "" Being the editions between 2.3.3 and 2.3.7 the most installed in total "".
Once again, the Numantine resistance of older models based on rather primitive versions of Google's icon system is striking. And it is that among the statistics of the firm, versions 1.5 ”” Cupcake ”” and 1.6 ”” Donut ”” of Android continue to slip through.
Of course: we are witnessing a process of apparent extinction, with a negligible share that is represented by a minimum 0.2 and 0.5 percent, respectively, of the total pie among Android statistics. The Android 2.1 ”” Eclair ”” and Android 2.2 ”” FroYo ”” editions also stoically endure the storm, sustaining their presence with a 4.7 percent share in the first case and a respectable 17.3 percent in the first case. second.
