Google kills off Donut and Eclair in Android's platform distribution numbers for August

Google kills off Donut and Eclair in Android's platform distribution numbers for August

It's that time again, time for another update to Android's platform distribution numbers. This time around, Google's changing up some things. First off, they've completely done away with Donut and Eclair. This isn't because collectively they only accounted for 1.3% of Android devices last month, but because the Google Play Store app is only compatible with Android 2.2 on up. Since Google provides these numbers as a tool for developers when building apps, we suppose it only makes sense.

Also new for August is Google now only accounting for Android devices that have pinged Google Play within the last 7 days, as opposed to 14 in previously.
