Now that Android 5.0 Lollipop (http://www.engadget.com/android-lollipop-review/) is finally rolling out (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/09/lg-first-with-lollipop-upgrades/) to devices around the globe, you might be wondering just how much of an impact it's making on the Android ecosystem. The short answer: not much. Google has released its latest Android usage stats (http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html), and Lollipop doesn't even register yet -- in other words, less than 0.1 percent of Google Play users have moved to the new software. That's not surprising given that both the upgrade and Lollipop-native devices like the Nexus 6 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/12/nexus-6-review/) are weeks old at best, but it suggests that the new OS will take a while before it makes its presence known.
