Marshmallow Android quiet enthusiasts. Within one year, the operating system is just touched the figure of 7.5 per cent of all Android phones in circulation.
According to Google, one reason is the reluctance of manufacturers of smartphones and tablets to Android updates. The giant search engine also began installing tactics "coercive"
According to inside sources, Google has created a special list at the beginning of this year. The list shows the ranking of vendors, from the most diligent until the laziest update the operating system.
Currently, the list has been distributed to manufacturers partner Google. Diumbar sources who declined to mention his identity, Google is about to reveal it to the public list, as reported by Bloomberg and collected KompasTekno, Thursday (02/06/2016).
By doing so, the general public would know which vendor who had been lazy provides operating system updates. Google hopes it can motivate the vendor to be more diligent.
For the sake of users.
A Google spokesman would not comment about the tactics of "imposition" of this. Even so, Android SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer confirmed that it was persuading the vendor to promptly update the operating system."It's for the good of users," he said, to coincide with the launch of N latest Android operating system in the event Google I / O last week.
Because the latest operating system always offers improved security is more qualified, so that the phone can be stronger confront various cyber threats.
Lockheimer also acknowledged that the performance of Android is not good business. "It's not an ideal situation," he said.
According Lockheimer Android ecosystem can not develop if the vendor does not support operating system updates. For example, Daydream platform built on Android N.
Daydream is an ecosystem of technology supporting virtual reality (VR). If the penetration of Android Android N Marshmallow bad later, then the presence of Daydream said to be useless.

Apple's iOS operating system arguably more developed than Android. Because the IOS 9 which was also released in 2015 and had been recognized on 84 percent of Apple products. That figure is certainly much higher than the 7.5 percent penetration produced Marshmallow.
If seen from year to year, the trend is showing reluctance Android users to update the operating system. Inversely proportional to Apple, iOS users seems to be getting excited to welcome the newest operating system.
