It's Leftover Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, and Key Lime Pie.

Lots of Leftovers.

After Leftovers, and maintaining the alphabetical order, Google will release this for dessert.

Pff. What does it matter; they'll never be able to upgrade to it.

Yeah but Lemon Meringue sounds like a real option, whereas I wanted to go for comedy/absurdity in order to belittle their efforts.  Chicken Noodle Soup just sounds funny.  Oh wait, I have a beter one... Frozen Corndog!!!   :)

Rant or Rave?

in the early days of OS X, Apple would release several point releases a year, each with additional functionality (re: not just bug fixes).  Apple argued they were bigger than Service Packs.

Google has to push new OSes out to attract carriers to request OEMS to build new devices (carriers compete on function of their phone fleet).   The environment is totally different than OEM PCs  (OS releases caused instability with deployed systems... in the carrier model, the OS is what you ship with, never to be upgraded in the field). or iOS, where back compatibility is a requirement because Apple implicitly warrants their 'fleet' for at least 2 years.

A lot of phones don't even have Jelly Bean yet.     

Damn this thread is making me hungry...

I really feel like some Lemon Meringue Pie now.

Apple insider is wrong. 4.2 will still be Jellybean, android 5.0 will be Keylime pie and wont arrive until google io of next year. Stop lying. 

I'm waiting for Piece of Shit Sandwich.

Google expected to unveil Android 'Key Lime Pie,' new Nexus handset at Oct. 29 event

Users expected to be on it somewhere around 2014.

That's actually not a joke, btw. About 75% of Android users are still on 2.3 or earlier.

And there are ICS only apps
Actually that is wrong, you can produce apps that run on GB and also use JB features. Also on a JB phone you get to use UI improvements that JB brings
If the app is forward compatible as you say, then doesn't that mean 100% of people can buy you app?

Here's the official numbers right from Google. Accurate as of their last update, Oct 1st, 2012. This is where I got my numbers from and you're telling me I'm wrong?

http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

Read these links on Android and ASLR (address space layout randomization). This is something iOS had since before iOS 5.

https://blog.duosecurity.com/2012/02/a-look-at-aslr-in-android-ice-cream-sandwich-4-0/

https://blog.duosecurity.com/2012/07/exploit-mitigations-in-android-jelly-bean-4-1/

And this is only one specific area. Would you like me to go over additional ones?

I was being facetious when I said nobody codes for ICS. But I might as well have been telling the truth based on the very small number of Apps available that actually take advantage of ICS or JB. The bottom line is most Apps are coded for Froyo or GB.

Yes you can write Apps that will use JB features if it's running on a JB device and not use them if it's on a GB device, but that's a crappy way to write software. That's like having multiple versions of an App inside one and selecting which portions to run based on what OS the App detects. It's a hack workaround to solve Androids terrible fragmentation problem.

Forward compatible means an App coded to Froyo will run on all versions up to JB. So what? That's nothing to brag about. The issue is that an App using features of JB will not work on older versions (or if the developer has done the "hack" I described above, then the App will run on older versions with reduced functionality).

Either way you're making compromises. As I said, it's a crappy way have to write software.

I hope Phandroids won't get DIABETES in all of these software updates.

Update 16/10/2012:

The race is on, which will come first key lime pie or jelly bean on my Nexus.

Samsung have always been poor with their software updates, going all the way back to their Symbian and WinMo days.

I can't see how Google could have trusted them with one Nexus let alone two

If you look at that page, and see the increase in use ICS has had, you would know it will be far in excess of 25% in a year.
Sorry, I'm not sure what part of my message you are referring to?

ICs was announced on Oct 19th which makes it exactly one year tomorrow. The source code was available in November. ICS may pass 25% by November, but that's not the issue. Whether it hits 25%, 26% or 28% is irrelevant - what's relevant is that after one year it's still a distant #2 in terms of the number of users.

Not aware of which part I'm referring to? ASLR is related to security and is someting anyone familiar with programming would understand. You asked me about security and I gave you an example. If you don't know what ASLR is, then I see no point in trying to debate iOS vs Android security issues with you.

I read that to be that ICS might hit 25% one full year after release.  Which was in October 19, 2011.

Somehow I'm not seeing ICS penetration to be "far in excess of 25%" by tomorrow.

iOS 4 was piss poor on the 3G yet Apple allowed it...  Turned my phone into a paperweight, was awesome.   Now because of that my wife is afraid to update her 3GS...
