Jelly Bean and ICS continue to grow as Gingerbread diminishes

Android 2.3 Gingerbread continues to reign supreme as the most-used Android version, but its share is slowly starting to go down as newer operating systems such as Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean swiftly grow in popularity.This information has been released by Google, as it continues to follow the monthly tradition of releasing Android distribution data.
