Jelly Bean is now on more than half of Android devices,

Who says Android’s fragmentation isn’t going away! According to new distribution numbers from Google,
Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean is now running on more than 50% of Android devices. Last month, Jelly Bean sat
just under 50% ; however, they have finally crossed that illustrious mark. Another good sign is that Ice
Cream Sandwich declined from last month, likely meaning many OEMs are pushing software updates to
existing devices.

There’s still one lingering problem. Android’s Gingerbread, what the operating system looked like before Ice
Cream Sandwich’s overhaul, has a huge chunk of the pie.

Gingerbread remains on 26% of devices. These
are likely lower-end devices or older devices that just don’t have the power to run a fresher version of
Android. But with Android 4.4 Kit Kat also aimed at devices with little RAM, Android’s fragmentation could
become less of an issue.
