Market Insights from the Market Strategy Team

Mobile

• Gingerbread (released Dec 2010) is still on 21% of all active Android devices and the 2nd largest Android distribution. On first place is JellyBean, with over 59%, and on 3rd is Ice Cream Sandwich, with 16%. source.

• Google added data compression for Chrome on Android. The feature claims to save up to 50% of data usage by routing page requests through its servers, where its PageSpeed libraries optimise the content. For pictures, which are up to 60% of the content of a web page, Google transcodes PNGs and JPGs to WebP. Google stored the data that is processed by its servers for up to 6 months. source

• NTT Docomo cancelled plans to launch Tizen devices in Japan that were planned for January. Samsung has also confirmed that there will be no US launch in 2014 for its OS. source

• An Ubuntu community manager confirmed that no major OEMs have agreed to ship Ubuntu - based phones and that we will likely not see such a device made by a top tier manufacturer before 2015. source

• Revenue distribution among app developers on iOS is more equally distributed than on Android, according to a study by Developer Economics. While total revenues on Android from apps are approaching those on Apple’s platform, their distribution is concentrated on a few major, global brands. On iOS, however, distribution of top revenue seems to be going to more developers than previous years. On iOs, the bulk of the revenue is from the US, but China and Japan are growing the most. Android relies mostly on revenue from Asia. source
