As the ICS update for my phone is available, I am eagerly waiting to connect my phone to a good speed internet connection. Instead, Currently Gingerbread is the most popular android version. Still more than 60% of the people use Gingerbread.

  Version     Codename     Distribution  
 1.5Cupcake0.2%
1.6Donut0.5%
2.1Eclair4.2%
2.2Froyo15.5%
2.3.xGingerbread60.3%
3.1Honeycomb0.5%
3.2Honeycomb1.8%
4.0.x Ice Cream Sandwich  15.8%
4.1Jelly Bean0.8%

Current Distribution of Android Versions as on August 1, 2012

ICS  comes with some added features :
  • Smart Lockscreen - Now we can interact with messages & recent events, play & manage tracks without even unlocking the phone.
  • Face Recognition - Now we can unlock the phone using the face recognition. But for this your phone must have a front facing camera. Unfortunately, my phone lacks it so I won't be able to use this feature. :(
  • Modified Dialer - When you start typing your friends’ numbers, your phonebook will automatically start finding them for you.

  • Quick response for incoming calls - When you are busy you can reject calls with a text messege & let the people know what are you doing.



    Well, there are many other changes made in ICS but these are the changes that I found most interesting & waiting to use these features asap.
