The company's OS dashboard shows that 52.1 percent of owners are running at least Android 4.1; most of those (37.3 percent of the total) rely on the oldest version, but Android 4.2's use has already doubled since August (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/01/more-than-40-percent-of-active-android-devices-run-jelly-bean/). Jelly Bean's reign may be short-lived, however. The milestone comes just as Android 4.4 KitKat (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/06/lumia-1020-kirf/) is reaching the public -- given Google's focus on supporting as many devices as possible with the new OS, it may not be long before Jelly Bean is once again in the minority.
