The numbers show that about the same amount of consumers have older version Android 1.5 (Donut) as those with new Android 4.0+ (Ice Cream Sandwich); both at 0.6% market share.

Based on Google's latest platform stats they release monthly showing the break down of the various versions of Android in the market worldwide, I would conclude Android tablets are not selling well at all accounting for 0.3% market share of Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) software for tablets. By our estimates this would be about 125,000 tablets sold in the first quarter of 2011, which puts it right on par with estimates of 100K a month ago by Deutsche Bank, reported by Business Insider. When you compare this to Apple's iPad 2 sales, which estimated first week sales between 350,000 to 400,000; the results are dismal.Read Full Article

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.
