谷歌改变其Android版本使用数量计算方法

谷歌 改变 了它用来 计算运行特定Android版本的设备数量 的方法。“从2013年四月份起，新的统计图表将使用Google Play Store设备访问的数据生成。之前，上述数据只是简单地统计签入谷歌服务器的设备数量。我们相信新的数据更加精确地反映了用户对Android和谷歌生态系统的投入比例。”这一改变有其道理。它真实地反映了开发者感兴趣的使用率数据。它使Jelly Bean的份额一下子从16%提升到25%的事实起到的作用也很重要。因为这意味着Ice Cream Sandwich和之后的版本现在大概占据了使用中的Android设备的54%。

Google has changed the way it's counting devices running particular Android versions. "Beginning in April, 2013, these charts are now built using data collected from each device when the user visits the Google Play Store. Previously, the data was collected when the device simply checked-in to Google servers. We believe the new data more accurately reflects those users who are most engaged in the Android and Google Play ecosystem." The change does actually make sense - reflecting the kind of usage developers are interested in - but the fact that this also makes Jelly Bean jump from 16% to 25% surely played an important role here too. This means that Ice Cream Sandwich and later now account for about 54% of Android devices in use.
