Jellybean still dominates Android, less than 0.1% devices run on Lollipop
The latest Google Play distribution data is out, and it reveals that the latest available version of Google's Android OS, Lollipop isn't on charts, just yet.

According to the data, the Android landscape is still dominated by Jelly Bean, with close to 46 per cent of all Android devices running that version.

This data was collected over a seven day period ending January 5, 2015, based on the devices that visited the Google Play Store.

However, KitKat based devices are steadily growing and the version before Lollipop now powers 39.1 per cent of all Android devices. The share of Android devices has risen over 5 per cent since December 2014.

The chart doesn't show any signs of the Lollipop version, and a footnote reveals that "Any versions with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown."

This implies that Android's latest build, the 5.0 Lollipop version released in October 5.0 is yet to make any impact in the Android OS pie.

Lollipop's slow adoption has been much talked about, though many claim that the fact that OS has been made available to very devices yet could be a major reason behind the sluggish growth.
