7.1 Percent In 7 Months

parislemon:

The results are in, as of June 1, Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich) now has 7.1% of the Android market. Two months ago, the OS had just 2.9%, so this is progress. But that’s 7% in 7 months. There’s no spin you can put on this: it’s pathetic.

The race continues to be on for Ice Cream Sandwich to get to 10% penetration before Android 5.0 (aka Jellybean) is announced, presumably at Google I/O at the end of the month. It’s not looking good.

65% of Android users are still using some variation of Android 2.3 — and that number is actually still growing.

Google will announce the next version of their OS before 10% of their users are on the last version. Think about how insane that is for a second.

Much worse than vaporware, where nobody can have an announced product, is youcanthaveitware, where the product is released, but remains unavailable to the overwhelming majority of users. What’s the point of a new release if nobody’s even using it? It’s just an intellectual exercise.

    I don’t see the appeal in a million different devices not even being capable of running the latest software.
