According to Google’s platform version statistics, just above one percent of the market accounts for Android Tablets running Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb), whereas, nearly a quarter of devices are either being upgraded to or shipping with Android 2.3+ (Gingerbread); yet more than half of the market share is running Android 2.2 Froyo. In our last analysis of this data we concluded that Android tablets are currently not selling as well as expected, however, a concrete determination would be after the holiday season.
