Stories similar to Android 'Jelly Bean' usage share breaks 10 percent barrier

Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' finally has 3 percent usage share in its sights, but Android 4.0 'Ice Cream Sandwich' continues to gain ground faster, currently powering more than a quarter of Android devices.

While the aging Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" operating system continues to be the most popular version, Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" finally has the 2 percent market share milestone in its sights.

While the aging Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" operating system continues to be the most popular version, Android 4.1 and 4.2 "Jelly Bean" has received a massive jump in usage share over the past month.

Use of Android is constantly evolving and the latest distribution data shows Gingerbread on devices is down while use of Jelly Bean is up 3.2 percent. This news comes just one month after our last reported findings. To Android enthusiasts’ dismay however, Gingerbread is still on the majority of devices at 44.2 percent.

While Android 2.3 'Gingerbread,' remains the most popular version, Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' is making rapid, albeit overall modest progress.

While Android 2.3 'Gingerbread,' first released December 2010, continues to be the most popular version, Android 4.1 'Jelly Bean' has made rapid, albeit overall modest, progress.

It’s a brand new month, which means it’s time for a fresh look at the distribution of current and past Android versions. As we had anticipated, Jelly Bean has grown ever so slightly, reaching just 2.7 percent of Android users, up from 1.8 percent in October.

Is it any reason why there is no option to move app to Sdcard on Jelly Bean. I am using Galaxy s3 jelly bean 4.2.

Is this a limitation on Jelly Bean. is it true per Jelly Bean you can not move app that is less than 1GB.

Please let me know if anyone have an answer to following question.

Thanks.
