The latest data showed an ongoing gain for Jelly Bean, which was found on 45 percent of all Android devices in August. Assuming the trend continues as expected, Jelly Bean should easily surpass the 50 percent mark by the time Google’s next report surfaces.

Google recently announced the coming of Android 4.4, aka Kit Kat, though it has yet to reveal a specific launch date.
