Google and its Android manufacturing partners have finally managed to get the majority of devices in the wild up to date with Gingerbread… just in time for them to be outdated again thanks to Ice Cream Sandwich. According to the latest platform distribution stats, 2.3.x is now found on 50.6-percent of allAndroid devices – or at least those which accessed the Android Market in the fourteen days prior to December 1 – up from 43.9-percent last month.  …

Gingerbread’s share should increase some in next month’s batch of stats, with a number of devices getting Android 2.3 upgrades in the past week or so. Verizon’s DROID CHARGE and the EuropeanMilestone 2, along with the LG Optimus 3D all saw OTA updates being pushed out in November.
