Well, congratulations to John on the success of his app. But you seem to be implying that that is where he is getting his 88% figure from, and if you ever took even just one semester of statistics in college, you should know what an unreliable sample downloads of his app are.
Why, even the figure Google likes to use, the source for my 45% using 1.5 or 1.6, is far from ideal: but it is almost certainly a better measure of the number of phones out there with given version# than downloads of even a wildly popular app. On Jul 9, 5:11 am, Al Sutton <a...@funkyandroid.com> wrote: > John has a very popular app which he keeps stats on.
