Each month, Google updates Android's platform distribution numbers according to devices that have accessed the Play Store in a seven-day period. January's updated pie chart has just hit, and things seem to be following a fairly predictable pattern.

KitKat, which was positioned at 1.1% last month, has eked out an additional 0.3% to reach 1.4%. Gingerbread, meanwhile, fell from 24.1% to 21.2%, continuing its gradual decline. Jelly Bean (including API levels 16-18) has actually grown to 59.1%, up from 54.5%, as manufacturers work to catch up to Android's latest and greatest.

75% of apple devices are on ios7.....in other words if you got an android the only way you stay on cutting edge is to have a nexus.

Google is slowly trying to take control of that tho. I think their biggest issue is that they are learning that while "open source" is good, having control of upgrades over time is extremely important.

Honestly any high end android released in the past 2+ years can run kitkat with ease.
