Google Versions

Google today updated its Platform Versions page for Android, and the news is quite good. Android 4.4 KitKat was the only release to gain adoption share, as all previous versions slipped.

Android 4.4 KitKat is now on nearly a third of mobile devices running Google’s mobile OS, though it still has a long way to go before catching up to Jelly Bean. While the Nexus 9 officially launched today with Android 5.0 Lollipop, the latest mobile operating system version naturally won’t show up in the chart just yet:

More specifically, here are the changes between September and November:

• Android 4.4 KitKat: Up 5.7 points to 30.2 percent
• Android 4.1/4.2/4.3 Jelly Bean: Down 2.9 points to 50.9 percent
• Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich: Down 1.1 points to 8.5 percent
• Android 2.3 Gingerbread: Down 1.6 points to 9.8 percent
• Android 2.2 Froyo: Down 0.1 points to 0.6 percent
