Nearly three of every four handsets hitting the Android Market are now running the most modern versions of Google’s mobile operating system, just as rumors begin swirling around the next release of Android. The current picture, provided by Google’s own dashboard service, differs greatly from just six months ago, when only one in four Android phones were running version 2.0 or better. This adoption of the Eclair and Froyo versions of Android, combined with Google’s efforts to offer core apps through its Market, is helping to reduce fragmentation issues.Indeed, I saw the handwriting on the wall in May as Google began to build apps that were supported on multiple Android versions and then provide them outside the operating system. Software such as Goggles, Gesture Search and Navigation originally launched on Android 2.0 or better devices, but quickly appeared on older Android 1.6 handsets. Based on the distribution of Android versions at that time (shown below), Google effectively doubled the potential user base of such apps by offering them phones running an older version of Android.
The adoption of newer Android versions comes at a time when the next iteration is likely to appear. Developers should see the SDK of Gingerbread as early as next week, says

Apple will do what they often do this time of year, and that’s hold a press event unveiling Mac updates.

But the teaser image reveals we could see more than just new hardware.
The official invite sports what’s clearly the image of a lion peeking out from behind an Apple logo-shaped cutout. Does that mean we’ll be seeing a new iteration of OS X, major point upgrades of which are codenamed after big cats? In short, yes. Apple will probably announce OS X 10.7, possibly codenamed “Lion” at this event. It’s hard to interpret that photo in any other way.
According to a new consumer adoption study from barcode technology provider ScanBuy, barcode scanning is up 700% in 2010.
ScanBuy, makers of 2D barcode scanning solutions, recently released a report on its own platform data. Although the report doesn't look at usage beyond the company's own technology, ScanBuy is one of the industry leaders in barcode scanning. Its ScanLife technology platform has been deployed by handset makers in the U.S. Mexico, Chile, Spain, Italy and Denmark and its mobile application is pre-loaded on a number devices from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Pantech, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. Although not always beloved by the barcoding community due to its use of proprietary EZcodes, due to its size, it's a company whose trends are worth watching.
