If you use the same binning strategy that is used for the iOS versions then the numbers aren't so far off. 87.4% of Android users are on 2.x which compares favorably to the 90% of iOS users on 4.x. Granted there are bigger differences between each Android point version than the iOS, but the iOS data is too lacking to make this a fair comparison. It wouldn't surprise me if iOS suffered from users not being on the latest latest (4.2) version because of the lack of OTA updates. That being said, my roommate has a Nexus S and I have an HTC Evo and would trade HTC Sense for quicker updates to the latest releases (without having to load custom ROMs).

Yes but this is MG Siegler's article. He cherrypicks certain data to show that Android is inferior to iOS. Majority of Android phones are on 2.1 and up. For him that's not enough so he had to break it down to specific releases (2.1, 2.2, and 2.3) so he can prove his point. There may be significant difference between 2.1 and 2.2. However, after playing with 2.3 for a month, there's not a big difference from 2.2.
