What a great comparison!!! It has all the basics that would later turn in to Windows 7, or Jelly bean if you will.

Stable right? I tried XenonHD 4.2.1 last night and not stable at all.

The G1 can run at least 4.1. New versions of android are faster, not slower.

I’m pretty sure that whole sliver is samsung. Hasn’t everyone else updated their honeycombs?

I agree. 2 year contracts kind of limits peoples progress like this, to where I’d expect to see GB have a significant drop over the next few months.

I agree and disagree. The jump from 2.x to 4.x was truly quantum as you say, but I considered 2.2 to be “seriously usable” and I clung to my Droid 2 for a very long time because it did everything that I needed and it did it well. I never encountered a single app that I couldn’t run because I was on 2.2. I was only limited by CPU and RAM. And running Go Launcher it didn’t really look that much different than my Droid 4 does running Nova.

Only phone people really into having the latest OS even know the difference between 2.3 and 4.x. I have had people tell me that they hated there Droid RAZR after they were “forced” to upgrade (from 2.3 to 4.0). And, I have had to try to defend and explain the changes.

I also have a big fundamental issue with the way that they changed how sdcards work at 3.0 and that also kept me from upgrading until I had to. Making a fake sdcard partition in the internal memory and not allowing anything to be installed to your actual sdcard is a big issue for me. I know all of the pros and cons arguments, but for me I still prefer how 2.2 and 2.3 worked over 3.x and up. I had over 600 apps installed on my old Droid 2 and still had half of my internal memory free. Now on my Droid 4 which has double the internal memory I am far more cramped on what I can install even though I have a 32Gb MicroSD card in it.

While I understand the frustration over “fragmentation”, people also need to point out that Android 2.3 is far superior to iOS 6.0, or 7.0 will be and so on. It’s all relative. The Android platform from two years ago still has more features than its Apple counterpart.

I was under the impression source was released when the G-Nex was. That would explain the Transformer Prime getting ICS late December – early January.

My G-Nex and N7 get awesome battery life on JB. Also, my Thunderbolt had better battery life running the ICS leak than on stock GB.
