The platform distribution numbers for Android in February are out and
they bring little surprises. The trends from the previous few months
continue, with Jelly Bean gaining ground on ICS and the now long
outdated Gingerbread.
The Gingerbread userbase has dropped from 45.6% to 44.2%, but this is
still enough to make it the most popular Android version globally. And
given that Gingerbread is more than two years old now, this hardly bodes
too well for Android OEMs and their updates.
The ICS has seen a drop of 0.4 percent points, but it still holds
nearly twice bigger market share than the two Jelly Bean releases
combined.
The good news is that the Jelly Bean user base is up by 3 percent
points over the previous month and the latest version of Android is
starting to quickly gain traction now. Still, it remains to be seen if
Jelly Bean will become the most widely-spread Android release before its
Key Lime Pie successor comes in the summer.
