The April numbers are in for the Android platform distribution and it’s looking good for KitKat, with a 3.2% increase in numbers. There’s a small drop in Gingerbread use as is expected as older handsets get upgraded and Jelly Bean saw a small decline over the three versions that are counted. Overall, Froyo and Honeycomb still hang in there, but we expect them to stay round a little longer.
