Jelly Bean now used by 45% of Android devices

Jelly Bean users (Android 4.1 and 4.2, the latest 4.3 version hasn’t been included) account for 45 percent, the next biggest user base is still Gingerbread (2.3.3 - 2.3.7) at 30.7 percent, followed by Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3 - 4.0.4) at 21.7 percent, then Froyo (2.2) at 2.4 percent, and coming in last is the tablet-optimized Honeycomb (3.2) at 0.1 percent.
