Froyo is Finally Being Used by Over 50% of Android Users [Android]

Don’t be alarmed by Google’s official pie chart , showing just 0.4 per cent of Android phones are running the most recent Gingerbread update. Considering it’s only available on one handset- Samsung’s Nexus S , which went on sale mid-December-it’s not bad.

The phone went on sale mid-December solely at Best Buy inside the States, and while we’re not happy in regards to the state of Android firmware distribution , it’s a great deal early days yet.

Froyo, however, has smashed its way from 43.4 per cent of all Android versions being used , in December, to 51.8%.

Considering Froyo launched back in May , it’s heartening that over 50 per cent of users are now experiencing the quicker version, but we’d've expected a larger chunk of that pie by now. Thankfully just 4.7 per cent of Android owners are running Android 1.5 (Cupcake) now-you’ve got to feel for those people, mind you. [ Android Developers' Blog via PC Mag ]
