A new year, a new bunch of numbers, and as we saw last month there’s still no sign of Lollipop, despite being released for 2 months now. The data they’ve released has been collected during the 7 days leading up to January 5th, so how does it look?
Well, FroYo continues to decline, dropping 0.1% from last month, Gingerbread (the OS version that will never die) has dropped a pretty big 1.3%, while Ice Cream Sandwich dropped almost as much at 1.1%, down to 6.7%. Jelly Bean iterations saw decline across the 4.1 to 4.3 versions. KitKat has gained share, making up almost 40% of devices accessing Google Play but there’s still no sign of the latest entrant to hit the market.
For your convenience, here’s the comparison from last time.
Android Version | November | December |
Android 2.2 (Froyo) | 0.5% | 0.4% |

Android 4.0.3 – 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) | 7.8% | 6.7% |
