Engadget checked out the latest Android Developers Dashboard statistics update and noticed that Android 4.x has finally overtaken Gingerbread. Android 2.3.x marketshare now stands at 44.2 percent, while Android 4.x now has a marketshare of 45.1 percent.

Most of those on the newer OS are still using the 2011-era Ice Cream Sandwich, although we have good news again when Jelly Bean has grown to represent 16.5 percent of current users. There's a long distance to go before any one version of Android 4 surpasses Gingerbread, but the gap is closing fast.
