Financial, Real Estate, Stock Markets Trends and Current Affairs

It is important to note in these latest figures that Android 2.2 has overtaken Android 2.1 since last time we reported on the distribution. In addition, the percentage of devices running Android 2.1 is less.

Guess what this means? Well, I can feel comfortable in assuming that Apple 4.x does not run on 83% or more of the Apple mobile devices sold. That makes Apple the "Fragmentation Title Holder"! That's right, Apple's iOS is more fragmented than Android. Throw that statement into the geek fest argument you come across and watch the nerdy fanboi sparks start to fly.

As I guaranteed readers and subscribers over the summer in Empirical Evidence of Android Eating Apple! and More of the Android Onslaught: Increasing Handset Revenues and Growth, the truth has come to pass... From Moco News: Apple Continued To Lose U.S. Marketshare Despite Spike From iPhone ..

Apple’s iPhone 4 did not give the company the bump in sales it needed to put Android’s momentum in check. Instead, Apple’s smartphone marketshare in the U.S. dropped by 1.3 percent in the three months ended in July while Android’s share grew by an impressive five percentage points, reports ComScore.

And the lead has been increased since then, see Android Continues Its March To The Number One Spot In US And Global Mobile OS Sales Tuesday, December 7th, 2010
