The fragmentation of Android

            

 The fragmentation of Android versions is a burden to developers

"Fragmentation Version is a burden for developers, as you know," said Tim Cook."Actually ..." he says, "if you do some calculations, you will see that iOS6 is the most popular operating system in the world and ranks second place a version of Android, which was launched in 2010".

According to Cook, who did the presentation, iOS6 is installed on 93% of the 600 million devices shipped by Apple.Tim compared the percentage at 37% of the Android's Gingerbread, also Cook said that 26% of devices running Ice Cream Sandwich and 33%, Jelly Bean.

These values ​​include only "versions of Android that relate to Google Play store, not those of the Kindle and Nook," said Cook. "Even so, the story is a sad one."

Cook also said that Apple devices are used more minutes per day than those with Android. "50% of iPhone users invest more time in their use than those with Android devices," he said, citing a study by Experian.

Cook was keen to point out that developers of programs and applications for iOS can earn money. Apple would have paid $ 10 billion to the program, to date, says Cook. "The timing is very favorable." "Last year, we paid $ 5 billion of this money."

Take a look at Android and pull some conclusions: Google has washed his hands and give updates to seller terminals. Yes, you can quickly download a build of Android and you install it yourself the old terminal, especially if you are passionate, but if HTC, for example, you lose HTC Sense, phone charm that is all, if you install the Samsung, you lose not-know-what and so on. Just ordinary user who "does not have to like that" installed, you want to be able to run all the old and new.

If Samsung or HTC does not allow the update to the new version of Android, the user has great frustration because has paid for a smartphone and she want to run all possible applications for the operating system you chose. Imagine that Samsung has just screwed 10 million Galaxy S users, which does not offer the possibility of update to the new version of Android, though the hardware would theoretically face, whatever it says Samsung.
