This evening, Google posted up the official Android distribution numbers. Last month, Jelly Bean creeped past the 50% mark, and this month, it seems that it hasn’t slowed down yet, now on 54.5% of devices up from 52.1%. As for the newest version of Android, Kit Kat (Android 4.4), it appears that it is currently on only 1.1% of devices, a somewhat dismal number, but there’s plenty of time for that number to grow.
Ice Cream Sandwich dropped to 18.6% from 19.8%, Gingerbread to 24.1% from 26.3%, and Honeycomb and Froyo are pretty much done for at this point.
Google tweaked the way it measures its Android installations back in April, changing the criteria from all devices that merely check-in to Google services, to those that access the Google Play app store specifically.
