I personally feel that Android is made resource hungry by the phone companies

Else why does a rooted LG p500 feels super fast with a custom ROM

And if the new HTC can support ICS with a 600 mhz processor then why can't a galaxy s

I expect the ICS share will jump markedly after the release of the Galaxy S3 worldwide. It should grow to double digits in a couple months.

Updated my Note to ICS, and first impressions are great.Did find some lag issues with the camera, but only on first use.everything else seems to work just fine. I'll feel it's breathed new life into the device, loving it!

Until all people get the ICS update then the figures will change. Now, most of us do not have the update still pending.

ICS made my sgs2 ultra fast no lag at all GB had some lag when swiping

Dual core phone + ICS = fast
Single core with ics not much improvement

froyo still shares 19% which is bad.
Also Ics is sharing 7% of whole devices that is to much bad.
Google developed wrong OS which can not be installed on every device.
hope Google develop jelly bean for high end devices as well as low hardware specs devices!!
