Android KitKat hits 2.5% adoption, Jelly Bean grabs 62%, but a third of Play users still on ICS or Gingerbread

Google today updated it platform versions page for androis , revealing that kitkat has hit a 2.5 percent adoption rate. Meanwhile , Jelly Bean continues to steadily grow , maintaining its dominance on Google play. All other android versions have lost share.
Breaking down the numbers more specifically, 62 percent of Android users have devices powered by Ice cream sandwich,o.1 percent are on Honeycomb, 19.0 percent are stuck with Gingerbread , and 1.2 percent unfortunately still have Froyo. Here's how the current Android landscape looks in graph and table form.
Between February and March, Android 4.4 grabbed an additional 0.7 percentage points, Android 4.3 increased 0.7 percentage points. Android 4.2 gained 0.8 percentage points and android 4.1 slipped 0.2 percentage ,Android 4.0 meanwhile, continued its slow decline , it dropped another 0.9 poingerints.

Ginderbread took rhe biggest hit,dropping 1.0 points, honeycomb didn't budge at 0.1 percent, and froyo lost 0.1 percent points and froyo lost 0.1 percent points. Despite all this, th bigger picture hasn't changed, the jelly bean are first, Gingerbread is second , ICS is third and kitkat is fourth.

As always , we have to remember that back in april 2013, Google tweaked its algorith in regards to how it counts users for these figures, measuring when users visit the google play store instead of checking-in to google servers. The image skews the data by giving an inaccurate piture of Android fragmentation , but at the same time it helps developers target users who are actively using Google play.

Right now it appears very unlikely that we'll see android 4.4 kitkat in a leadership position in 2014. We'll see it pass ICA and Gingerbread, but it likely won't steal the crown from Jelly Bean- the next android version will come first.
