The growth is a lot stronger now, but a vast majority of users are still on Gingerbread and Froyo.

    I am downgrading back down to Gingerbread. 4.0 seems to have a lot less features and I hate the layout.

      the answer very simple. people do not buy new phone every month or even every half year. i have the same smartphone for 1.5 year. and he is good enough for me.

          i'm gonna stay on gingerbread until ics gets new updates, as i heard a lot of "bad" comments on ics running too slow lag etc.

            There is another issue I've seen. In my office there are three people

            Two ppl with a lg optimus one (still on froyo, despite the gb update released months ago)

            Another guy who has some xperia model that's showing update notification


            But they are not updating their phones

            too lazy I guess

                Who ever has written this review is senseless!!
                In GB devices, when people start updating to ICS, their device become so so slow, and keeps lagging.. And there r many other problems!
                And u still hope people will upgrade to 4.0??

                  This one of the reason that why apps come so slow ported on android . Android will have to work hard

Having t... moreI think this is a good point, for me android 2.2 was when android became mainstream and updates since then have been nice but most users can do 95% with 2.2 of what the users with ICS can. Most apps run on 2.2. I have run 2.1 2.2 2.3 and ICS on my HTC desire and have come back to 2.2. I will upgrade my OS now when I upgrade my phone. If apps stop working on a particular version that's when fragmentation will be a problem.

                      Comparing phones, especially in this situation, to cars is just silly. How is upgrading a phone analogous to anything in the automobile industry. Cars have parts (hardware) upgrades. What is "supercar fuel"? Cars and PCs maybe, but phones, nope.

                          I'm still using a 2.3.3 android phone... The iconic galaxy S. and it's still running fine after 2 years. my main uses are geohashing and web browsing.. sure, I wish the battery would last 50% longer, but it still does everything I need. i'm unsure if I even need to upgrade.. my plan has runout but the phone keeps on going :)

                              I still can't trust the company in terms of the privacy issues. Not to mention the security issues.

                                  in such a HUGE market as mobiles, it will be the same thing as cars.. there are small ones, cheap ones, ancient ones, superfast ones... they cannot ALL take the same oil, petrol, engine upgrade etc... is this what you call 'fragmentation'?? rather stupid word then....

                                  we cannot all put 'supercar fuel' in our small car, nor can our old mobiles run superOS...

                                  the others to blame are long contracts, and the long time it takes for them to 'approve' new OSes...

                                    THE GROWTH OF ICS IS DUE TO RELEASE OF CYANOGENMOD9 UPDATE FOR OLDER DEVICES.
                                    Personally I use LG Optimus One P500 which was rejected by LG but since a few months it is encouragingly being supported by CyanogenMod 7.2(official RC & Stable) and currently I am using unofficial CM9 port (ICS for P500).
                                    Previous ICS roms for P500 were unintentionally 'handicapped' version which either lacking tethering feature or unstable camera or something else.
                                    But CM9 core is now stabilized and now camera and tethering works well. Although there is a negligible thing which is yet not solved properly- offline charging(phone gets automatically ON while charging).
                                    But I AM VERY HAPPY THAT AT LAST I AM GETTING THE TASTE OF ICS!

                                      I just dont get it why it is so fucking hard to update android devices and even after a long time we receive bugged updates like the gs2 ICS

                                        Holy fragmentation Batman! So with JB coming out this means most Android users are 2 version behind? That's Hilarious.
