According to the latest report from Google Play Store data, there
are only 4.9% of all Android devices with Ice Cream Sandwich. But it till be a
significant increasing from last month's 2.9% penetration rate while Gingerbread
remains running on nearly two-thirds of devices.
Why Android 4.0 get this tiny increase? At first, Google and Samsung
have pushed out updates to the Galaxy Nexus S 4G in the U.S., as well as to the
Galaxy S II in markets outside the U.S. And then, HTC One X, One S (only for T-Mobile)
and One V had released in several markets. These two devices run Android 4.0
out of the box. Last, Sony is providing Android 4.0 updates to several of its
Xperia smartphones outside the U.S.
Despite its weak presence in the market, Android 4.0 is set to climb
quickly in the coming weeks and months. The HTC One X, in particular, is an
outstanding Android smartphone and will surely be a hit with AT&T
subscribers. Same applies to the HTC One S for T-Mobile. These are two exciting
devices that will expand Android 4.0's footprint. Additionally, Sony is
prepared to deliver Android 4.0 to a growing number of its Xperia smartphones in
the coming weeks.
We also can't forget the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is being
launched May 3 by Samsung. This device also will ship with Android 4.0 and
should become available before the end of June. Given how successful Samsung's
previous generations of Galaxy devices are, the S III is expected to be a smash
hit.
And according to the announcements from HTC, Motorola, LG etc. more
and more android phones which produced in 2011, will get update of Android 4.0.
I think there must be a android 4.0 boom in the late of 2012. Just hold on and
keep waiting.
