Our android distribution

One of the big challenge in mobile development is to support the multiple versions of OS available on the market. The google Android OS is a good example for that. Actually, there are five major OS and the 3.0 won't make it easier.
For us, an important data to know is the distribution of our customer over the Android network in order to support the right versions. By looking at this graph from Wikipedia showing the distribution of the mobile accessing the Google Market between January 19 and February 2 and comparing it with our distribution, we notice it was almost exactly the same. In fact, we realized if we could support 1.5 and 1.6 OS, we would obtain the same result.



So our development team has started working on a new version that will allow that. With a lot more options (volume, better sound quality).
