distribution chart

Android 5.0 Lollipop has been out for almost two months now, but as you
should know by this point, that doesn’t mean very many people are actually
using it. Actually, according to Google’s new platform distribution numbers
, even fewer people than expected are on the latest and greatest Mountain
View has to offer. Lollipop didn’t even hit the 0.1% cutoff required to be
represented in the data.
Once per month, Google aggregates data about the various Android devices
that check into the Play Store. This data is turned into some nifty tables
and graphs for the developer dashboard, which app makers can use to better
target devices. The largest chunk of active Android devices this time is
represented by Jelly Bean (all three versions collectively) at 46%, followed
closely by KitKat at 39.1%. The oldest version still showing up in the data
is Android 2.2 Froyo (0.4%), which is positively ancient by technology
standards — it was released in May 2010.
The newest version of Android that runs on Google’s flagship devices is a
smaller part of the Android ecosystem than a version released nearly five
years ago. That’s certainly not ideal from Google’s perspective, but the
data doesn’t lie. You have to give Google credit for providing this service
for developers without any PR spin. By comparison, last year after about
two months, KitKat was on 1.1% of devices, which still isn’t great, but it
’s at least ten times more than Lollipop right now. So, what gives?
Dashboard
There are a few things going on in the data that might explain the absence
of Android 5.0, not all of which are bad. First, we don’t know anything
about the absolute number of devices out there. It’s possible there are
more Lollipop phones and tablets right now than there were on KitKat this
time last year — all we know is that they comprise less than 0.1% of the
whole Android ecosystem.
That’s not to say Lollipop uptake has been great, though. The Nexus program
really stumbled this year. The Nexus 6 is a great phone if you can find it,
and you probably can’t. Even two months after the announcement, this
device is out of stock constantly. Nexus phones have always been in high
demand, but it’s clear Motorola and Google were not prepared for the rush
this year. The usual influx of new software that usually hits the Play Store
around the end of the year didn’t happen this time — it’s not a lot, but
enough to show up in the data. There simply aren’t sufficient Nexus
devices to go around, and the limited updates of unlocked phones and tablets
aren’t going to compensate for that.
Interestingly, KitKat usage jumped in this month’s data. That’s likely an
effect of people trading in their old phones for new ones over the holiday
season. Most flagship phones are still waiting on their Lollipop update, so
that’s not too surprising, but even budget phones are starting to ship with
Android 4.4. This version is tuned to play nice with slower devices, which
has led to a ton of high-quality inexpensive phones. Thankfully, cheap
devices powered by the archaic Gingerbread version are in heavy decline in
this data, probably because of KitKat’s better support for the budget end
of the spectrum. This is a very good thing.
LP update
Slow adoption of Android is a fact of life, and things are still better now
than they used to be. A slow start to Lollipop’s deployment isn’t the end
of the world, and it doesn’t point to user discontent. Lollipop isn’t
something people go out and buy, it’s delivered to them whenever an OTA is
ready. Slow updates are sometimes cited as a potential downfall for Android,
but year after year it keeps growing. The platform numbers are odd, but it
’s not time to panic yet. | t*******y

谷歌对旧版安卓漏洞甩手不管
腾讯科技讯 极度碎片化的安卓生态，不仅让第三方软件开发者头疼，也让谷歌(微博)
官方难以驾驭。据美国科技新闻网站ZDNET报道，最近有安全人士爆料，谷歌曾公开表
示，对于安卓4.4之前系统中的一个组件漏洞，不再负责，希望民间高手能够自行开发
补丁。
据安全专家TodBeardsley爆料，去年十月份，谷歌官方收到了一个安全漏洞报告，有人
发现在安卓4.3版本中，WebView组件中存在漏洞，威胁系统安全。
按照统计，这一漏洞将影响到全球9.3亿人的安卓用户。
然而谷歌的反应令外界吃惊，谷歌工作人员表示，目前无暇顾及，请外界自行开发补丁
解决问题。
据报道，谷歌方面表示，因为受影响的安卓系统早于4.4版本，因此谷歌团队一般不会
再自行开发补丁，“但是欢迎外界开发的补丁”。
谷歌表示，如果安卓4.4版本之前的系统，安全人士的漏洞报告中，如果没有附带补丁
程序，谷歌除了通知安卓设备厂商之外，不会采取其他进一步行动。
目前还不清楚谷歌这样置之不理的政策，是针对WebView这一安卓系统组件，还是涉及
整个安卓4.4之前的系统。
按照谷歌的解释，如果安全业界未来发现相关漏洞时，如果提交了补丁程序，谷歌将会
把补丁整合到开源的安卓系统代码中。
上述安全人士表示，他从来没有看到一家公司会采取这样的漏洞处理方式，即请报告者
自行开发、附带补丁。
众所周知的是，安卓最大特色是碎片化，全球用户运行着花样繁多的安卓版本。根据谷
歌官方统计，46%的安卓用户运行安卓4.3，该版本排名第一，安卓4.4占到了39.1%，排
名第二。
其余的用户，则分布在安卓2.3，安卓4.0，安卓2.2等旧版本。
