Google routinely updated on Monday its Android Developers Dashboard to show off distribution numbers, but the most recent data collected during a 14-day period ending on 8 July reveals that Jelly Bean has finally overtaken Gingerbread.
Android Jelly Bean is now on 37.9-percent of devices. Specifically, Android 4.1.x is on 32.3-percent of devices. That’s a 33-percent increase from last month, with Android 4.2.x running on the remaining 5.6-percent of devices. In other words, Jelly Bean is now the most used version of the Android operating system.
As for Gingerbread, well - Google said it slipped to 34.1-percent. Ice Cream Sandwich sits at third place with 23.3-percent, followed by Froyo at 3.1-percent and Eclair at 1.4-percent. Honeycomb and Donut both have a meager 0.1-percent each.

"We believe the new data more accurately reflects those users who are most engaged in the Android and Google Play ecosystem," explained the Android Development team, noting Google compiled the new data from each device that visited the Google Play Store.

The company previously - prior to April 2013 anyway - gathered numbers when devices checked-in to Google servers.
