"Eighty-three percent of all Android devices now run either Android 2.1 and 2.2, according to the latest data from Android Developers. The remaining 17% is almost evenly spread between Android 1.6 and (the now truly antique) Android 1.5.\nMore precisely, 43.4% of devices are currently running Android 2.2 and 39.6% of devices are running Android 2.1. Android 1.6 is active on 10.6% of devices, while only 6.3% of devices still run Android 1.5.\nFragmentation has always been an issue for the Android platform, but due to a slightly longer wait between Android 2.2 (or Froyo) and the next version, Android 2.3 (or Gingerbread \u2014 which is rumored to be coming out any day now), things are looking better than ever, with the huge majority of Android devices being spread amongst the latest two versions. \nLast time we looked at the state of Android, the situation was much worse: Android 2.2 was out, most users' (55.5%) devices were running Android 2.1, and a very significant portion of active devices were based on Android 1.6 and Android 1.5. The developers had to worry about four different versions, with the differences between 1.5 and 2.2 being quite staggering. \nRight now, developers can focus on 2.1 and 2.2; this will change really soon when 2.3 becomes available to the general public, but having to develop and upgrade your app on three versions of the platform is still better than four."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
