The argument ruthlessly wielded by Android detractors always features platform fragmentation as the recurring wildcard. However, although it is true that in the terminal market with Google's system up to seven editions of this environment can be found "" which in turn is subdivided into more specific updates "", the percentage of concentration by versions is high more homogeneous than you might initially expect. So much so that more than 80 percent of the mobile phones equipped with the Android platform are distributed between versions 2.2 FroYo and 2.3 Gingerbread "" and in the latter case, the distribution is distributed, as we have indicated, betweentwo variables, referring to 2.3 itself and 2.3.3 ””.
The large number of mid-range devices that populate the Android device market is the reason for the huge presence of Android 2.3 Gingerbread on the horizon of this ecosystem. Most of it also corresponds to sub-edition 2.3.3, being the one that is repeated the most in the count of devices "" nothing less than 63.9 percent "". However, a data that is highly remarkable is the penetration of the most recent version of the system. We refer to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which takes over the mobile and tablet market, taking 4.9 percent of the number of devices. Specifically, Google's ice cream sandwich”” That is, Ice Cream Sandwich ”” its share is distributed at a rate of 4.4 percent for its most recent version, 4.0.3, and an anecdotal 0.5 percent, in the case of the opening edition, that is, 4.0.
Another interesting fact is the presence of each of the versions of the platform that was developed expressly for tablets. We are talking about Android 3.0 Honeycomb, which together accounts for 3.3 percent of the ecosystem pie, at a rate of 0.1 percent in the case of the version with which this environment was released, one percent if we examine Android 3.1 and 2.2 percent if we look at the space claimed by Android 3.2.
Finally, the fact that despite the most recent versions of the system and the proliferation of devices opting for one of the last two editions of the platform cannot be overlooked, there are still users who resist Retire your most classic devices. So much so that the editions Android 1.5 ”” with 0.3 percent ””, Android 1.6 ”” showing 0.7 percent ”” and Android 2.1 ”” with 5, still persist in the version count. 5 percent ””.
For months now, the possibility has been raised that Android 5.0 Jelly Beam could be uncovered during the summer , which will be the next step on the evolutionary scale of the green robot ecosystem. During the past Mobile World Congress 2012 there were, in fact, hints of the presence of the next version of Android that we will know, although without clearly explicit allusions. Google has not confirmed the date of presentation of Android 5.0, and although it would be logical to think that it would not arrive until the next edition of the native mobile of the house was unveiled "" that is, the next Nexus””, It has been said that during the summer or in the weeks after the summer week the edition that would continue to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich could become known.
