App Info : The puzzle of Android's delayed changeover from Gingerbread | Technology News from guardian.co.uk

Something odd has happened to Android.
While its growth rate continues to grow (yes, a
second-order change; sales are accelerating),
we aren't seeing the changing of the guard
from the older version to the newer one that
we have over the past two years - such as
the end of 2010, when "Froyo" (version 2.2)
replaced "Eclair" (version 2.1) and then the end
of 2011 when Froyo was replaced by
"Gingerbread" (version 2.3).

Going by the statistics shown on Google's
platform versions page (which shows the
version of Android being used by devices
connecting to Google Play in the two weeks up
to 1 October, and is revised monthly),
Gingerbread has been the most-used version
of Android since November 2011. At that point
it was running on 42% of devices connecting to
Google Play (then the Android Market), just
passing the 40.9% using Froyo.
