Android Jelly Bean, the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, is now used by more people than Ice Cream Sandwich. The proportion of older versions like Gingerbread and Honeycomb sinks further and further back, but is still considerably.

This is evident from the latest figures, Google has released about the different Android versions in circulation. In addition, the company is looking for devices that last month the Play Store consulting. In the past period, 26.1 percent of those people turned Android 4.1, also known as Jelly Bean. Version 4.2, which also belongs to the Jelly Bean-branch, was rotated by 2.3 percent of the people, bringing the total to 28.4 percent. Thus, the proportion of Bean Jelly larger than that of Android 4.0, also known under the name of Ice Cream Sandwich. That version is rotated by 27.5 percent of active users.

Taken together its Android Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich accounted for roughly 56 percent of all active Android devices. That is good news both Google and developers. The company took the operating system to version 4.0, ie well below the shovel and thereby introduced for app developers a host of new features and APIs. Developers were initially little keen to implement those features because their apps could be. Thus not run on devices with older Android versions

Old version of Android have not yet seen a considerable share: Android Gingerbread, which was released in late 2010, still running on 38.4 percent of all Android devices.
