Ice Cream Sandwich now on 1 percent of Android devices According to the latest figures, Ice Cream Sandwich is now on 1 percent of Android devices.
The software update, Google's largest yet for the mobile operating system, was released in December alongside the launch of the Galaxy Nexus.

While adoption is slow, it is important to note that the OS is seeing much faster growth than its tablet predecessor, Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Also, there are very few devices that have the update, most notably the aforementioned Nexus and the Transformer Prime tablet.

Gingerbread (2.3) remains atop the list at 58.6 percent, followed by Froyo (2.2) at 27.8 percent.

Honeycomb has 3.4 percent share and the very old Eclair (2.1) still has 7.6 percent share. 1.6 percent of users still have Android 1.5 or 1.6, which were released in 2009.
