Froyo is now on more than half of all Android devices, Gingerbread makes an appearance on the charts

A recently updated version of the Android Platform Versions pie chart is showing that Android 2.2, aka Froyo, has now made its way to a little over half of all Android handsets. Android 2.1 still takes up a large chunk of the chart at 35.2%, which is expected considering all of the Galaxy S devices still running Eclair.
So what’s the most noteworthy thing about this chart? Well, Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread, has finally appeared. As of now, Gingerbread is only on .4% of Android handsets.
Being that only one phone, the Nexus S, has Gingerbread right now, we can expect that .4% figure to rise steadily as the year goes on and more updates are released. To me, it seems pretty likely that we will all soon be hearing about Gingerbread for our respective devices, since Android is already talking about an OS to be named Ice Cream Sandwich.
