Straying from the Point

I fancied putting a few thoughts down after reading this article  by Kevin Tofel based off a report from Chitika about  Android platform distribution . The report suggests and Kevin writes about the fact KitKat adoption and uptake appears to be slower than with Jelly Bean according to Chitika's report. My first reaction was that this can't be correct considering a number of manufacturers have pushed KitKat updates to their devices far quicker than previous OS versions, Motorola notably bringing it to their Moto X before Google had it on their own Nexus 4. I had a quick look at the Android distribution numbers from Android Police  and compared initial percentages for both OS versions. Jelly Bean was released at Google I/O on the 27 June 2012 . KitKat was released 31 October 2013  on the Nexus 5. Around 4 months later (121 days for KitKat, 127 for Jelly Bean) we have percentages from the Android developer dashboard. These run to 2.5% for KitKat and 2.7% for Jelly Bean whi
