This months report is in for what percentage of devices are on each version of Android, and it is still dismal. It has been over 9 months since Android 2.3 Gingerbread was introduced, and as of August 1, it is only on 24.3%. Last month it was at 18.6% so it has shown growth, but not enough.
Meanwhile Honeycomb is only on 1.3% of devices (all tablets) which is up 0.4% from last month.
I am not sure how we are supposed to get excited for Ice Cream Sandwich if it is going to take this long for devices to get the latest versions. My recommendation is that if you really want Ice Cream Sandwich, do not buy a phone until it is released on a particular phone. If you have to buy a phone in the near future, then make it the Nexus S because that will have the best shot at getting the upgrade when it does come out. You can grab today only for FREE at Best Buy.
