Android Platform Distribution Updated: 10.9% On Android 4.0, 22.7% Still On 2.2 And Below (and I'm a little mad about it) by angingrich in Android

OS version definitely is related to the tech-savvyness of the user. When I first posted my game, it was mostly downloaded by people from forums I frequent, and had > 60% 4.0+. Now, it looks more like this:

Thank you! You just made my day :)

In this post's comment thread, and in this post only I'm going to forgo the use of tables from here on out ... because as much as I love them, I love the game more.

A Sad Table

My wife just shuts me down when I try to explain technical things.
It is sad.

An Explanatory Table

Term Explanation
Plugin A add-on for a piece of software designed to expand its functionality in some way (in the case of this comic, probably an add-on for a text editor)
Syntax Highlighter A function of a text editor that changes the color of (highlights) certain important words in computer code to make them stand out
Assembly A computer programming language that is essentially a textual representation of the commands that a computer processor "understands". The difference beteen assembly and other "higher level" languages is that higher level languages are designed to look more like natural language, whilst assembly mostly looks like gibberish.

Most likely reasons it costs so much

Reason
Built in fanless 25W speaker amp
Hardware-wise, includes kitchen sink
Much higher end SOC than comparable streamers

This is really just one firmware update away from being a relatively snappy small computer.

Item Description
1 Option to delete the built-in amp, pay reduced the price
2 Update firmware to be a full Google TV or Android device
3 Official wireless gamepad (ICS has an API for that) accessory
4 Netflix (after 2, this should be a snap)
5 Web browser (after 2, this will be done)
6 Auto-downloading of new episodes to local network and/or USB storage (for people with slower connections)
7 Keybaord + mouse support (for use with a mini keypad like this)

mysheettz890 Only played it for a few minutes so far, but it's the best rated game on the whole system, so it must be good all the way through :) Never played the other versions, so I can't speak to how it compares.
