Android in March: Gingerbread keeps growing, ICS on the rise too

Google released their monthly Android Platform version statistics and they show that the Gingerbread line is still on the rise (in fact, it grew the most), despite being succeeded by Ice Cream Sandwich.
The good news is that obsolete versions (pre-Eclair) now account for just 1% of all Android devices, with rusty Eclair itself sitting at 6%. Froyo is declining, but still commands - 23.1%. It debuted a little less than two years ago, so it will probably hold on to a considerable share for a little white longer.
Gingerbread keeps growing, despite several devices getting the ICS update, and currently holds a 63.2% share. ICS phones that dazzled as at the MWC are just hitting the shelves, so there isn't much to drive adoption up (besides the Galaxy Nexus and the updated devices).
Anyway, here's the table with the new OS version shares for March and how they changed compared to February:

Version	Market Share, March	Market Share, February	Change
1.5 Cupcake	0.3%	0.4%	▼0.1
1.6 Donut	0.7%	0.8%	▼0.1
2.1 Eclair	6.0%	6.6%	▼0.6
2.2 Froyo	23.1%	25.3%	▼2.2
2.3 Gingerbread	0.5%	0.5%	0.0
2.3.3-2.3.7 Gingerbread	63.2%	61.5%	▲1.7
3.0 Honeycomb	0.1%	0.1%	0.0
3.1 Honeycomb	1.0%	1.1%	▼0.1
3.2 Honeycomb	2.2%	2.1%	▼0.1
4.0-4.0.2 Ice Cream Sandwich	0.5%	0.4%	▲0.1
4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich	2.4%	1.2%	▲1.2

With yet more devices getting updated to ICS and phones with ICS out of the box, we expect next month's report to show a big jump in Android 4.0 adoption.
