Enterprise Grade Android 2.2 Saturates 36% of Android Smartphones

Nov 2, 2010 6:02 PM –
More Android smartphones are launching or updating to Google’s more Enterprise ready mobile OS codenamed Froyo. Now at 36.2% of the market share according to stats collected by Google from 33.4% the month prior. Android 2.1 increased a few percentage points to 40.8% (probably as a few new devices such as Samsung Transform recently launched with Eclair). Android 1.6 & 1.5 are whithering away and for good reason as they are obsolete versions of the powerful OS. We’re still watching out to see if my predictions of Android 2.3 Gingerbread is going to debut on or before November 11th. Check out the platform version chart to see the mobile OS saturation in the market:
