The OS market share list is here: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
My recommendation: Require Android 2.0 and Open GL ES 2.0, this will allow you to use vertex/fragment shaders. Check for extensions like vertex buffer objects and use them, but don't require them (the original Droid doesn't have VBOs, but it still popular). That should allow your app to run on most modern phones and have good performance. Btw, there was a thread on Stack Overflow where people posted available extensions on several phones: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3881197/opengl-es-2-0-extensions-on-android-devices -Mike On Oct 18, 11:36 am, Tudor Tihan <tudorti...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank, 2.2 sounds good. > > I dont want to build a game that runs on all hardware, just the top > range hardware, > since fixed function looks like crap in nowadays shader world. > > Where would I find an accurate OS/device market share list? > > On Oct 16, 1:33 pm, Nightwolf <mikh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Results are pretty good.
