It may have seemed like some of us would never see this coming by the amount of time many have waited to get Froyo on their devices, both last year and still this year to come. So, here we are, looking at 61.3% of active Android devices on the market currently running Android 2.2. The downside is you can see that there are still many, many people waiting for an upgrade with 29% still running Eclair. Gingerbread comes in under 1%, which is quite low considering it was released a few months back already. Let’s hope that it doesn’t talk as long to get Froyo devices onto Gingerbread as it did to get Donut onto Eclair or Froyo. Carriers…help us out here!

I’m assuming then that the 61.3% consists mostly of users are on HTC or Motorola devices? Samsung has been sluggish about updating their Galaxy S line to Froyo, so that line of phones can’t be any notable percentage of the Froyo 61.3% at this point, and many of the other hardware vendors are also still back on 2.1. Android 2.3 of course must be the Nexus series?

I agree, come on verizon get with the program & update your fascinate… It’s unfair that the captivate & the vibrant get froyo months before the rest of the galaxy s phones… Verizon makes me want to switch carriers to T-Mobile or Sprint & get the Evo
