No, I define it by 4.X...the 4.1 number was less than a percent...that is not even close. Can't even distinguish it on the chart.
You think the 52% total penetration is from phones from 2010?...

It's VERY analogous to the PC market. Why is Windows # 1? Because it's included with the vast majority of off-the-shelf PC's, and Apple keeps iOS to itself. Over time this has meant that...

Two years is a long time. Version 2.2 was in May 2010. Version 2.3 was December 2010. Why do you think these numbers are because people aren't buying new phones? I'd guess it's more likely people not...

Yep. That's part of my point. Lot of people who bought Android phones in 2010 are still in contract and, for whatever reason, can't or won't upgrade past 2.x. Seems as reasonable an explanation as...

you're saying you upgraded now
im saying closed proprietary versions of Android like Kindle and Nook don't have the option to upgrade to ICS
hence why they're still on Gingerbread/froyo.
