Google announces this months Android stats!
One of the strangely interesting things in the mobile world is the monthly update we get which shows us the state of Android and more tellingly Android updates. Again this month shows us a few new things, so head on past the jump and we'll get into it!
Firstly, Gingerbread is still the operating system which more than 50% of users are currently rocking! Which isn't too bad because Gingerbread was a decent OS, but it's not great either especially when you compare it to the interface enhancements we saw with ICS and the speed enhancements we've seen with both versions of Jelly Bean!
That being said there's now nearly 30% of the world's Android devices rocking either Jelly Bean or Ice Cream Sandwich, although the latter has been out for the best part of a year now! One thing that December's results will show us is how popular Google's Nexus devices have been in their first month and how well Samsung and HTC are getting on with their Galaxy S3 and One X roll outs respectively!
What OS are you on? And are you considering getting one of Google's new Nexus devices!
