Lollipop found , available sparingly !

by Ziuby

The most eagerly awaited and arguably the most ambitious release of Android OS version is finally out ! Lollipop has boasted about a complete new user experience and going by the recent report it doesn't disappoint Ref: A look into Android Lollipop . But there is one issue . According to a recent survey done only about 1 % of Android user have been able to upgrade to Lollipop. Which means just like the Bigfoot spotting stories the truth about user experience and quality of features can only be trusted through a leap of faith. Well taking for word a few reviews of a smaller group of users is a tall ask !                                    

The Google report said that Android 4.4 (KitKat) powers the biggest share of active Android gadgets: 39.7%. Jelly Bean, the code name for Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, combined power 44.5% of the active Android devices. Ice Cream Sandwich, released in 2011, runs on 6.4% of the devices Google tracked, while Gingerbread (a 2010 build) powers 7.4% of the total devices. Of the total devices, Froyo (also released in 2010) is on 0.4%. On the other hand, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 8 is on 69% of the company's handheld devices.

One can only hope that Lollipop will be available across plenty of devices just to keep the Android revolution on.
