[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/piej.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/05/android-gingerbread-has-growth-spurt-grabs-38-2-percent-device/) Gingerbread has apparently made a substantial mark on Android users, with new figures showing it holds a 38.2 percent share of all Google OS-powered devices. That's some kind of growth from the one percent sliver it held [earlier this year](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/17/android-2-2-is-now-the-dominant-version-of-googles-os-with-61-3/). Froyo still remains dominant at 45.3 percent, but [fragmentation](http://www.engadget.com/tag/android+fragmentation/) continues to shrink, with 95.7 percent of all Google-coated devices now running Android 2.1 or above. These figures, taken from Android Market statistics over the last two weeks, give a pretty good illustration of the gulf between Android smartphone and tablets, as well, with Honeycomb versions accounting for a meager 1.8 percent. But the tablet version will likely get a boost from [Ice Cream Sandwich](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-announces-ice-cream-sadwich-for-q4-2011-for-smartphones/) -- which, as we all know, is [just around the corner](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/samsung-announces-latest-unpacked-event-set-to-kick-off-at-ctia/).
