The share of Android 4.1 is still low

Earlier this week, Google unveiled a new version of its mobile operating system, which made a number of system and interface changes. The first devices with the surviving name Jelly Bean Android 4.2 will be available November 13, and the previous Android 4.1 is still not finished though a substantial share. In any case, as evidenced by the official statistics, published on the website for developers.
Android Versions Statues
Traditionally, Google has published a report earlier this month on the share of all versions of the Android mobile operating system based on the total weight. The first report is designed for games and applications, it allows you to see which version of the OS is now the most popular, what features of the new API is introduced, and how not to sweat it. However, these statistics will not display user activity, and yet according to the developers is on smartphones with Android 4.0 + is more than 70% of downloads of new applications.The lyrics without unnecessary digressions turn to the numbers. And as always, start with the lower versions Android, uniting them under the name 1.X. Combined share Andorid 1.5 and 1.6, slowly but inexorably falling. These devices have 0.4% - slow death due to physical aging, and the platform as a whole is growing at the expense of the new versions.Android 2.1 Eclair is also falling, this time its share was 3.1%, which is 0.3% less than the result in the previous month. But the share of Android 2.2 Froyo decreased slightly less than the percentage was 12%. Why the proportion of older versions of Android falls slowly? There are several reasons. First, the old device, released back when Android was not so popular, often kept as souvenirs and memories of the past, the most recent software updates are the same, and to be replaced by new items faster.As expected, Android 2.3 Gingerbread is still not only the most common version of the mobile operating system from Google, but also surpasses all other versions combined. Its share currently stands at 54.2%. This is 1.6% less than in September, but the process of "extinction" this version of Android so far is too slow.The share of Android 3.x Honeycomb tablet has fallen by only a tenth of a percent - probably due to the overall growth of Android-devices. Almost all the tablets to get Honeycomb update, leaving only those who never see him again because of the policies of manufacturers. Probably agony Android 3 will go on for years.Android GraphicIncreased by 2.1% which has already become outdated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Indeed, much of the new device is now sold with ICS on board - share it at the beginning of November was 25.8%. Unfortunately, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which is still a couple of weeks can be considered relevant, up to only 2.7%, ie by 0.9%. Comment is superfluous, since within Google think that situation is adequate, and the output is so vaunted PDK, early builds for hardware developers, the problems do not seem to decide.
