When Twitter declared its official Twitter app for Android, there were apprehensions of Android’s lingering fragmentation problem may causing the trouble to new Twitter Account. The fact was augmented when Google announced and updated the Platform Versions section of the official Android website, which provides the best accurate breakdown of Android fragmentation. That shows up the number of devices running each version of the OS that are accessed into the official Android Market. At the time 27.3% of devices were running 2.1; 2.7% were running 2.0.1, and nearly 70% of the devices being used were on either Android 1.5 or 1.6. However, Google has not updated the same page in previous four months.

Therefore, it is very clear that a good number of phones would not be able to be use Twitter app neither they would able to access new features that Google would be coming out with newer versions of Android phones. As some of the phone manufacturers are running custom builds of Android and are slow to upgrade so Google cannot be blamed for this laxity.
