Could 5.0 Lollipop be the slowest roll out ever for Android? Less than 0.1% of people are using it. Kitkat by comparison reached a 1.1% share within four weeks of its release in a similar timeframe at the end of 2013.
Google did have high hopes for a faster smoother roll out of their OS but things have only gotten worse this time around. Updates are an arduous process at best with plenty of spanners ready to be thrown in the works. Manufacture's often cant be bothered, and Networks providers approval for their own customisations (bloatware) make the process akin to walking through mud with concrete wellies on.
Android 4.4 (Kitkat) is now the most popular version of Android, with 39.1% of all devices connecting to the Google Play Store in the seven-day period ending January 5th 2015.
iOS 8 on the other hand reached a 48.8% share (and overtook iOS 7 with 47.2%) 29 days after it was released.
