Eclair Now on 55% of Android Handsets
Eclairr’s making a steady climb up the ladder according to the latest platform versions chart released by Google. According to them, 55% of Android handsets accessing the market within the last two weeks were Android 2.1-based. The last time we visited this scenario, the version had just reached the halfway mark and FroYo began its journey onto the chart.
FroYo’s continuing its journey, but still only sits at a low 3.3%. It’s worthy to note that no other handsets outside of the Nexus One have officially gotten the upgrade to Android 2.2, while a small percentage of the development and root community are up and running with the latest on various unsupported devices.
Android 1.5 and 1.6 are still holding substantial pieces of the pie, too, with them holding 18.9% and 22.1% respectively. While we probably won’t see Android 1.x completely dissipate for a long time, we’re at least making steady progress in the right direction.
