[![Ice Cream Sandwich takes a bite out of Gingerbread, represents 159 percent of Android devices][1] ][2]

Two [major][3] [updates][4] later (three if you count the tablet-exclusive [Honeycomb][5]), and Gingerbread is finally starting to falter. According to Google's latest two week survey of devices accessing the [Play store][6], Ice Cream Sandwich is on the rise, filling out 15.9-percent of the Android user base. That's a full five points ahead of Android 4.0's [July score][7], and it's eating into the OS' other flavors: [Gingerbread ][8](Android 2.3) dropped by 3.4-percent, [Froyo][9] (Android 2.2) by 1.8 and [Eclair][10] (Android 2.1) by a meager half a percent. Google's latest confectionery update, [Jelly Bean][11] (Android 4.1), made an appearance as well, eking out a shy 0.8-percent of the market.
