| iOS 6 adoption one month in |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-10-19 13:56:25 |
| "Looking at the stats for all our apps (we have 4 universal apps with almost 3 million downloads) and for all versions after a month gives an interesting picture." Close to 70% is on iOS 6 already. In the meantime, Sony just announced it's going to leave loads of users in the cold by not upgrading their phones to Jelly Bean. Those that do have an update in the pipeline will have to wait until next year. |

> The Fire *is* running Android. It just isn't sanctioned/supported by Google. You all basically just killed a huge portion of the Android usage statistics by claiming otherwise because ANY device not running Google apps is now "not Android". Like my Entourage eDGe ereader that is running Android 2.2 or any number of cheap tablets/phones that have been spit out. IMO, once you leave off the Google Apps (ESPECIALLY the Play store), you're not Android anymore. Maybe you're 'Android-based', which isn't the same thing. Of course, that sounds like a pointless distinction, but you have to draw the line somewhere, else people will continue to use the Kindle Fire (and devices like it) as examples of how bad the Android fragmentation is. And that's not fair, especially considering the Fire is not even advertised as an Android device. If you're one of those tards who think it's a good thing that there's 900 different Linux distros, trust me... it isn't. That's why hardly anybody uses it as a desktop OS, and Android doesn't need that shit. So if the Fire doesn't get counted in Android usage statistics, it doesn't get counted. It doesn't deserve to be counted. It is an Amazon device running Android APIs, but it is NOT an Android device. |

Why not just buy a 3rd pary app? There's plenty of choice including offkine navigation. Edited 2012-10-21 12:47 UTC |

| His comparison of update frequency between IOS and Android platforms is rather accurate in my experience. |

| It is so clear I'm not sure why there was even an article about this. You may as well write an article saying how awesome android is because 99% of users have functioning turn by turn navigation and have for the last few years. Yeah, we get it, they are different and have different pros/cons. There are debatable strengths that might make for interesting news but this is really pointless. |

| Actually 70% is laughably *low* considering apple's update model. Updates are so seamless on ios that means 30% (!!!) have willingly decided to refuse the update because they've heard about problems with ios6. I bet the large majority of those are refusing because of maps. That is a pretty huge slap in the face for Apple! Lol! |

You make some good points. And, no, I'm not one of those "tards that things 900 linux distros is a good thing". I'll recognize a few main versions as being useful. Otherwise... meh. I love Fedora Core, Debian, and Arch. :) |
