As you can see by the numbers above, it’s still a sad state of affairs when it comes to Android devices being updated to the latest platform version. The majority of Android devices out there are still stuck on Gingerbread — a version of Android released almost 2 years ago.

Down with those elitist Ice Cream Sandwich users and their Roboto fonts! That’s right, Ice Cream Sandwich now occupies 1% of Android devices according to this month’s Android Platform Distribution chart.

Speaking of rising numbers, Gingerbread is now on 58.6% of Android devices and is by far the most distributed version of Android, with the fading Froyo at 27.8%.
