Despite the fact that version 2.1 of Google's mobile operating system has been available for several months, most devices are still running older versions. According to a device dashboard by Android developer Raphaël Moll, over the last 14 days only 27% of Android smartphones accessing the Android Market were running version 2.1. The majority – 38% and 32% respectively – were running versions 1.5 and 1.6. Version 2.0.1 accounts for just under 3% of users accessing the site and versions 1.1 and 2.0 barely troubled the scorers, presumably because updates are available for popular devices supplied with these versions.

I have to say I'm quite supirsed how quickly everything went off in different directions... the HTC desire on 3 ships with a modified 2.1 - I'm sure a certain person I know will be pleased.

I wonder who? ;D

It's probably because most people buy phones because they like the look of them, and if they work OK, the majority wouldn't bother to keep upgrading the software.
