Google's latest statistics show that the latest version of Android, 5.0 Lollipop, has yet to make an impression in the overall Android market two months since its release.

According to the latest Android Developers Dashboard numbers, 39.1 percent of Android devices that accessed Google Play during the seven days leading up to Jan. 5, 2015 ran Android 4.4 KitKat. The second-most popular version of Android happened to be Android 4.2.x Jelly Bean with 20.3 percent, followed by 4.1.x Jelly Bean with 19.2 percent, Android 2.3.3-2.3.7 Gingerbread with 7.8 percent, and Android 4.0.3-4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich with 6.7 percent. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Android 2.2 Froyo rounded out the top seven.

So where's Android 5.0 Lollipop? Nowhere to be found, if the Google Play access numbers are indicative of the overall market. Google states that "any versions with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown." In other words, in the seven days leading up to Jan. 5, less than 0.1 percent of Android devices logging into Google Play were running Lollipop.

While Android rollouts are typically fragmented and take some time, Android 5.0 Lollipop released November 3, which means it's been a little over two months. Android 4.4 KitKat, the previous version of Android, meanwhile was able to grab 1.1 percent of the Android Dashboard share within its first month of release.

Part of the reason lies with the fact Android 5.0 Lollipop seems to have hit some snags. Google-branded Nexus devices usually get the latest Android versions first, and while Lollipop is out on almost every major Nexus device, bugs have plagued its release. Some users are complaining Lollipop has so many issues that their smartphone or tablet is basically unusable.

The other part has to do with the fragmentation of the Android distribution process. Sure, manufacturers like LG, Motorola, and Samsung have started rolling out Lollipop to some devices, but a majority of smartphones and tablets have yet to see any update -- and probably won't for a while. This is because manufacturers take Google's vanilla Android code, and then customize it to fit their interfaces. This adds months as the firmwares vary by region, and if the device is tied to a carrier, it means the network will jump in too, adding its own bloatware on top of everything.
