That would be 90% of all Android smartphones then... as 90% of ALL Android smartphones them run 2.x. 31.4% run 2.1 and 57.6% run 2.2 with the 2.1 ones (mainly the Galaxy S phones here in the U.S.) are in the process of being updated to 2.2 (Vibrant already had the update and the AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are in the process of getting it this month). So by the end of the month 90% of ALL Android smartphones will be running 2.2 or higher. Android 2.x now on 90 per cent of Google phones t3.com

Android Galaxy S 4G 5x faster than iPhone 4 T-Mobile Wins MSNBC Speed Contest With Samsung Galaxy S 4G By David, Managing Editor February 09th, 2011 8:27 pm EST tmonews.com The lucky folks at MSNBC are among the first to get their hands on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S 4G and they did exactly what we would have hoped for, conducted speed tests. Pairing it up against the myTouch4G, Sprint’s Evo Shift 4G, AT&T’s Inspire 4G as well as the iPhone 4 even so that device runs solely on the AT&T 3G network. All speed tests were performed using the Speedtest.net app available for both the Android and iOS platforms. Thankfully, MSNBC performed the test in multiple locations looking for optimal situations where all the phones performed at levels that would be consistent with the speeds that one can reasonably expect in the real world. So the results? T-Mobile and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G won, and handily. Not only did the Galaxy S 4G outperform all other competitors, the second place phone was another T-Mobile device, the myTouch4G. The sad news for Sprint customers is that the AT&T iPhone beat out the Sprint Evo Shift 4G and the iPhone runs on AT&T’s 3G network. All in all it’s an admittedly unscientific test but its indicative of real world results that one can expect when using the phone on a day to day basis. Check out the full read on MSNBC.com
