The new monthly numbers are out for the platform distribution on Android. Once again, Android versions 4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean) have gained a bit, as Android 2.2 and 2.3 (Froyo and Gingerbread) have lost a bit of share.
Since last month, Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0x) was the big winner, gaining 2.7% to come in at 23.7% of the pie, while Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) added just over half a point to come in at 1.8%. Gingerbread (Android 2.3) still makes up the majority of the ecosystem at 55.5%, but that is down just 1.7% from last month. Froyo also dropped just 1.1% to come in at 12.9%.
October is lining up to be a bit more of the same with just some slow movement. But, we should see some interesting shifts come November and December, especially if the rumors of Android 4.2 are correct.
