Ironic. When iOS 5 was released, there was no "soon" for the supported devices. It was just.. available.edyup, rolling out, so it looks like you'll be getting it.Only about a year after it's been released. :-D
sure, just pointing out that the 'no android 4 for me' was going to be changing soon. ;D
Even more ironic. Android versions not being available for phones as new as iPhones that can run the latest iOS is not a problem because "they can always get a new phone". I kind of had the feeling that this was something *Apple* was accused of doing - "forced obsolescence" I think the term is.Funny enough, Ed doesn't see this as a problem.what ed actually thinks is this isn't a big problem on phones, since the nexus devices are available if being on the latest version of android is a big deal to you. i'm more sympathetic to the issue on the tablet side, although it's been pretty obvious that (until the nexus 7 came out) the xoom was the closest to a dev / nexus device in terms of update and support.
