Android distribution chart now includes Ice Cream Sandwich
Earlier this morning, Google pulled the curtain off their latest Android distribution pie chart, showcasing just where each version of Android stands against another. In this latest version, we see some versions fall in statistics, while others climb their way up to prominence.

It's been a long time coming. But it looks like we're finally about to have a good chunk of complaints regarding the Android Market addressed. I haven't seen anything indicating app screenshots (have you?), but check out the slick new layout in these images from cnet. I'd say it looks much more polished and user-friendly than the raw app dump we're all used... Read more »
