50% of all Android devices accessing the Android Market are running Gingerbread

The latest platform dashboard for Android shows that 50% of the devices accessing the Android Market are running Gingerbread (2.3-2.3.7) — this percentage is up ~12% since October 1^st. In the same time frame Froyo dropped 7% and Eclair dropped 2%.

Let’s hope when manufacturers start rolling out their Ice Cream Sandwich updates a majority of the 50% will become Android 4.X devices. I’m sure we’ll start seeing Ice Cream Sandwich pop up on the platform table when Google next updates it on December 14th.
