The distribution numbers for Android have been released for the previous month, and not much has changed. Let us remind you that last month, they changed how they collect these statistics: Instead of counting people who connected to Google services, it’s just people who visited the Play Store. While that’s not as useful for the average person to see how… Read more
When you look at this chart, you’ll see a huge difference from last month. While Jelly Bean 4.1 had 14.9% and 4.2 had 1.6% distribution last month, they now have 23% and 2% respectively.

The OUYA creators have been pretty receptive of user feedback, but this brings it to a whole new level.
