At the beginning of this month, Google again released a distribution overview of Android versions installed on smartphones and tablets. As was expected, Android’s 4.0 version (Ice Cream Sandwich) has again increased its spread and is now installed on 20.9% of all Android devices. To pin point it, the increase was 5%. Android’s 4.1 version (Jelly Bean) takes up 1,2% and is expected to become more prominent within the next couple of weeks. Still dominant as always is Android’s 2.3 version (Gingerbread). With 57,5% it claims absolute majority. It will be exciting to see how long Gingerbread will be able to defend the throne. Android 2.2 (Froyo) retains 14% and is thus also still relevant.

Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) has 2,1% and Android 2.1 (Eclair) 3,7% so they still are above the 1% line. The situation looks different with these versions: Android 1,5 (Cupcake) and Android 1.6 (Donut) are hardly in use any more. You can find the detailed results here:
