Here is an interesting graph http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/26/2826022/android-fragmentat...

Eclair took about 9 months to peak, Froyo about a year, Gingerbread still looks like it hasn't peaked about 15 months since release.

To fix fragmentation, you want everybody on the same page. If they are releasing new features each major version, then I suppose this means you want them on the same major version.

At this rate, you will not see progress until maybe Q2 2013 when everybody is releasing ICS phones.

Edit: spelling




Nice data, thanks, you might be right with your estimate.
