Android developer site updated section of targeted devices, and it shows Froyo in 60% of the pie. Android 2.3 spice share doubled in a month, which is not really say much because it is less than 1% of all devices.
We are still wondering if in nest bee and more optimized compressed versions of the operating system will get its own ranking once it is in the hands of the consumer, that the addition of Android 3.0 existing PPV may screw up things significantly. The operating system was forked with honeycomb, now that we know that 3.0 goes to smartphones. That said, Cream Sandwich ice 2.4 Android will probably be the "Bee for phones", just as we expected.

Custom user interfaces tend to slow down the process of updating and a chart would be interesting to see how it just affects the process. That said, we believe that some handset manufacturers would not too happy to see that a majority of skinned phones are to blame for percentages of outdated versions of the OS.
