Look at this lovely image, uploaded today by the Android Developers Blog. It shows who’s using what Android OS these days, who’s upgraded to Android 1.6, and that 0.3% of Android users are still using Android version 1.1. That’s about it. It’s a pie chart, full of facts.
It was created by measuring which Android versions were being used by the phones that connected to the Android Market during the first 14 days of December.
That’s us there in the Android 1.6 majority. Nice to be part of a majority. Very comforting. No idea when or even if there’ll be a build of Android 2.0 or 2.1 officially available for the HTC Magic. Perhaps we ought to ask Vodafone about that, as if we’re a proper news site?
Maybe we’ll do that tomorrow. Via Twitter.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ December 18, 2009While you’re at it, any chance you could find out from T-Mobile if they are going to release any Android upgrade for the T-Mobile Pulse (on PAYG, if it matters). Don’t fancy being stuck on 1.5 now that so much cool stuff seems to be coming that requires at least 1.6 (Google Goggles, Navigator, etc) cheers!

/ December 18, 2009Hmm, I must’ve been a bit drunk last night when offering to do proper investigative research. But I will try. Via Twitter, or maybe email.
Leaving you hanging on 1.5 seems very mean of them.
