Latest Android stats shows Froyo still on top, Honeycomb still below 1%

Androidstats22

Google recently released the most up to date Android version stats for the last two weeks ending on July 5th, and while there are now a few new API levels to look at, the report remains largely the same from previous months. While Android 2.2 Froyo remains the most used version of the OS, Gingerbread is on the rise and Honeycomb still struggles to gain 1% of all devices.

The four versions of Gingerbread (2.3, 2.3.2 & 2.3.3, 2.3.4) have been divided up by API levels 9 and 10. Collectively, the Gingerbread branch consists of 17.7% of all devices now but we can assume that this will be the fastest growing version of the next couple of months, namely API level 10. Android 2.2 Froyo still holds almost 60% of all devices and has begun its decent, albeit slowly.

Android 1.5 – 2.1 still collectively holds over 20% of all devices, which is still a decent amount considering Android 2.1 was announced in January of 2010 with the Nexus One launch. Users still running on anything below Froyo should really consider upgrading. Even the LG Optimus One will be receiving the Gingerbread bump, so you have a budget option to rid yourself of anything below 2.2.

Honeycomb has still yet to grab a full 1% of Android devices but this isn't much of a surprise. With a million handsets activated every other day, most of which are not tablets, Google's latest version of Android will likely take quite a while to gain some ground. Consider that there are only a few Honeycomb tablets worth buying today and it becomes all too clear.

In the coming months we'll likely begin to see Froyo's dominance wane and Gingerbread flying sky-high, as most new handsets today ship with at least Android 2.3. That said, once Gingerbread becomes the dominant version of the OS Ice Cream Sandwich will appear and the cycle continues.

ABI Research Teardown: Samsung Galaxy S II Shows New Design Approach Including Exynos Dual-Core Processor


NEW YORK - July 7, 2011


This spring, Samsung launched the Galaxy S II, a new flagship member of its Android smartphone lineup. As part of its new Teardown Research Service, ABI Research has dismantled, analyzed, and tested the device down to the component level. The conclusion? If you are looking to keep up with the latest technology in 2011, the Galaxy S II is a good place to start.

According to ABI Research vice president of engineering James Mielke,  "Samsung started from scratch with this phone: almost every component is new. Its application processor is the most powerful on the market at present. It is the first to use the Samsung Exynos 4210 dual-core application processor (a competitor to NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 2). The name Exynos combines Greek words for 'smart' and 'green,' indicating Samsung's energy-efficiency goals for the design."

Major changes include:

  • Exynos dual-core apps processor. 118.8 mm2 die size with amperage specs roughly similar to the Tegra 2.
  • New single-packaged multi-band multi-mode PA from RFMD.
  • New CMOS-based antenna switch.
  • New lower-power XMM6260 cellular chipset from Infineon.


Mielke sums up: "Samsung took many risks by combining all these new technologies into one phone. But ABI Research believes those risks will pay off; the Galaxy S II sets a new benchmark for almost every category on which a smartphone is measured."

ABI Research's "Samsung Galaxy S II Teardown" report provides detailed photos, process evaluation, and part descriptions for all of the major components such as power amplifier, power management, baseband processor, RF, Bluetooth, GPS, WiLAN, and many discretes. Tying all this information together are unique circuit board photos, performance measurements, cost information, and board area data.

It is one of hundreds of devices and components – phones, baseband processors, power management, RF modules, connectivity components, application processors, sensors, and RF and power management discretes – that are torn down and analyzed in the firm's Mobile Device Teardown Service.

ABI Research provides in-depth analysis and quantitative forecasting of trends in global connectivity and other emerging technologies. From offices in North America, Europe and Asia, ABI Research's worldwide team of experts advises thousands of decision makers through 40+ research and advisory services. Est. 1990.

애플, 앱스토어 150억 다운로드로 얼마 벌었나

[지디넷코리아] 애플 앱스토어를 통해 배포된 애플리케이션(이하 '앱)'이 누적 150개를 넘어섰다. 그간 애플이 벌어들인 유료 앱 판매 수수료는 1조1천억원 이상으로 추정된다.

애플은 7일(현지시간) 앱스토어 누적 다운로드 횟수가 150억 이상이며 그간 발생한 개발자들 수익이 25억달러(약 2조6천612억원) 이상이라고 밝혔다.

애플은 유료 앱 판매 수익 가운데 수수료 30%를 떼고 개발자들에게 70%를 돌려 준다. 애플이 앱 개발자들에게 앱 판매 수익으로 25억달러를 돌려줬다면, 이 회사는 수수료만으로 10억7천만달러(약 1조1천352억원) 이상을 벌어들인 셈이다.
또 앱스토어 개발자들은 연간 등록비 99달러를 내고 아이폰이나 아이패드용 개발툴을 합법적으로 설치할 수 있는 맥 운영체제(OS) 기반 컴퓨터를 최소 한 번은 사야 한다. 기업들이 자체 앱을 배포하기 위해 연간 299달러를 내고 자사 개발자들에게 맥 컴퓨터를 여러대 사줘야 한다는 점을 고려할 때 애플의 수익은 훨씬 늘어난다.

다만 애플은 현재 등록한 개발자 규모를 밝히지 않고 있다. 지난 2009년 9월말 12만5천명이 가입해 있다고 전한 바 있다. 당시 등록된 앱은 8만5천개, 누적다운로드 수치는 20억회였다. 애플은 150억 다운로드를 넘어선 현재 앱스토어에 등록된 앱이 42만5천여개라고 밝혔다.

앱스토어는 지난 2008년 7월 문을 열었다. 10억 다운로드가 발생한 시점은 개장 9개월만인 2009년 4월이다. 또 지난해 6월께 총 50억회를 달성했다. 14개월동안 40억 다운로드가 늘어난 셈이다. 여기에 50억번이 추가되는 데 걸린 기간은 7개월뿐이었다. 올해 1월 100억회를 넘었던 것이다. 다운로드 누적 속도는 계속 빨라졌다.

한편 경쟁사 구글은 지난 5월 안드로이드마켓이 누적 앱 다운로드 45억회를 넘어섰으며 60일마다 10억번씩 늘고 있다고 밝혔다. 미국 씨넷은 안드로이드마켓이 애플을 맹렬한 기세로 추격중이라고 평했다.
