OpenSignalMaps has posted a series of charts visualizing just how bad Android fragmentation really is.

Over the past 6 months we've been logging the new devices that download OpenSignalMaps, we've based this study on 681,900 of these devices. We've looked at model, brand, API level (i.e. the version of Android) and screen size and we've tried to present this in the clearest form we can.

We've spotted 3997 distinct devices. It comes as no suprise that the GT-i1900 (the Galaxy SII) is the most popular - with 61,389 users downloading OSM in the last 6 months.

Check out the charts below to see their results...

Yet that's just what Apple is looking at, now that Steve Jobs, who actively resisted that trend is gone. He's only been gone for a little while, and they're already introducing 2 new iPads in different sizes. Steve must be rolling over in his grave.
