People have been picking up smartphones on daily basis. As, older ones will be replaced by new ones, so it is a not gainsaying fact that Froyo – 2.2 and Honeycomb will exist no longer in near future. But, Ice Cream Sandwich and KitKat will be getting maximum shares. Let’s wait for the next report from Google.
