In ten days 20% of Windows Phones have been updated to Mango. Android pales in comparison.

For those curious, the world-broad attempt past Microsoft at updating Windows Phone to version 7.five aka "Mango" seems to be hitting a steady stride of almost one.5% per day. Using the app 'I'g a WP7!' which has data sampled from a massive 83,527 users, we tin can see that Mango (builds 7720, 7721) is now on twenty% of devices the world over (17% in the U.S.).

If you throw in the programmer and beta builds of Mango, nosotros're at near 30% of those 83,000 users, putting us up about 12% from a week ago.

While that official number of 20% may seem low, remember that Microsoft is doing a controlled update process, meaning only a small per centum of users will actually go an update notification. That number has increased this week, but we imagine it volition still exist another 10 days before we hitting fifty% of users on Mango. What we are seeing though is a consistent and steady daily increase in those upgrading to Windows Telephone 7.five, much faster than whatever previous build.

Want some perspective via our contest? Android's latest version of the OS titled 'Gingerbread' (2.3x) was released in Dec of 2022. As of yesterday, they are hovering at nearly 38% devices world broad on that Bone build--that'southward 10 months out. Microsoft, meanwhile, has managed to get twenty% of its users on their latest version of the OS in 10 days. Clearly, we see who the real winner is here.

Edit: Nosotros should signal out that it's not so much about numbers of users here that's the difference between Windows Phone and Android, merely the model for update distribution is vastly unlike. Microsoft has taken a much more than direct arroyo to ensure that those 10 devices on l carriers globe broad were all on the same folio at the same time. Scale matters, but the update model here is the key differentiating factor between the 2 platforms. If you threw in a meg HD7s to the mix, it would change very little since that same update is notwithstanding canonical for a million phones. We're just saying, we're not the Samsung Infuse 4G.
