Ice Cream Sandwich doubled its adoption rate in July

The latest distribution of Android builds

Once again it is that time of the month when Android Developers breaks out the different builds of Android and shows where each one stands. The biggest increase in usage, thanks to a number of updates, belonged to Ice Cream Sandwich which went from 7.1% in June to 15.9% last month. By a big margin, most Android models are still chuggin' away with Android 2.3-2.3.7 where a huge 60.6% of Android phones reside. Right behind Ice Cream Sandwich is Android 2.2. Froyo is still powering 15.5% of Android handsets.

Right now, it looks like more than 95% of Android users are pounding away with Android 2.2 or higher. Between the number of new models coming to market with Android 4.0 and the number of decent sellers that have been updated, it should continue to be up, up and away for Ice Cream Sandwich. In case you're interested, Android 4.1 Jelly Beans debuts on the list with .8% of the Android market.

The data includes the two weeks ended Wednesday.
