Android KitKat eats up 39% of market; Lollipop still off radar

Android phone makers and carriers are filling up more devices with KitKat. Lollipop? Not so much.
In its latest Android Developers Dashboardposted earlier this week, Google revealed a 39.1 percent market share for Android 4.4 KitKat. Specifically, that percentage reflects the Android devices that visited the Google Play store during the seven days ending January 5.
