Is there a site that shows the number of users for each version? I'd rather target 2.2+ now.. just because its the version that brought in a big speed boost, making a lot more apps much smoother. I still have the Droid 1 and I thought that was one of the lower end devices out there? Being that I'll be able to upgrade this year, I would suspect by end of this year most of the owners would be on 2.2 or later.
