This information comes via the Android Dashboard, and is the compilation of data that was gathered over the course of a two week period that ended today. It was determined by analyzing the Android version used by mobile devices as they accessed the Google Play Store starting on Friday, the 21st of December.

Gingerbread clocked in at a total of 47.6-percent, a drop below the 50-percent mark that it has exceeded for over a year. The next iteration up, Honeycomb, has a very small distribution at 1.5-percent, followed by a big jump from that to Ice Cream Sandwich, which has 29.1-percent. Jelly Bean comes in just a hair over ten percent at 10.2-percent.
