Motorola cancels ICS update for certain devices

Back in February, Motorola released a chart with names and dates that told us when each of its Android devices will be getting upgraded to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. Unfortunately, it seems the company won't be able to keep its promise for all the announced devices.

The updated chart now showws that the Motorola Atrix 4G, Photon 4G and the Electrify do not qualify for the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade and will remain on Gingerbread. Other devices remain unaffected, with perhaps some minor changes in dates at most.

Hopefully, this will be the extent of the changes, with no more devices (and their owners) being forced to suffer on Gingerbread.

Jelly Bean user base now stands at 1.2 percent

Continuing their monthly tradition, Google has released the Android distribution figures, which lets us take a look at how the various versions of Android are doing.

Looking at the chart above we can see that Jelly Bean percentage has risen from 0.8% last month to 1.2%, disappointing but not surprising considering how few devices are running this right now. Ice Cream Sandwich has grown from 15.9% to 20.9%, which is pretty good.

Unfortunately, still a staggering 57.5% of Android users are on Gingerbread, down from 60.6% last month, and 18.3% users are on an even older version of Android.

Other stats show that a massive number of Android users still prefer devices that fall in the Normal display size, that is around the 4-inch mark, with hdpi resolution, that is between 200-300 ppi.

You can find the complete details in the link below.
