there are big differences between 2.3 and 4.0 though. 34% are still on 2.3, and that is sad.
With Android you really have to just cut your losses and realize you can't make it perfect for everyone. Target the top 70% and do the best you can. Handle the top few screen sizes and api versions and move on.
- tadfisher 13y agoThe numbers don't speak for themselves: how many 2.3 users are actively purchasing apps/services? Are people buying a $60 Android phone for use on a prepaid plan likely to purchase/install your particular app? The economics may favor dropping 2.3 support regardless of the overall install base. Then again, for certain situations, they may not. Of the two wildly different apps I work on, one has 40% of users on 2.3, and the other has 10%.
