Gotta be a dessert, and it's in alphabetical order.
Lemon Meringue is next.
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!!!
I'm not sure why their naming schemes bother me so much, but they just seem lame. I cringe every time I picture their executives in a board room brainstorming new OS nicknames.
Oh well, instead of fighting it, maybe I should just help them out for the next one. They seem to like three word foods, so I am thinking the next one should be called...
Chicken Noodle Soup.
I have a galaxy nexus and I didn't get an update for Jelly Bean until last month. MONTHS after it was released and I have a Nexus!! You know why? because a Canadian nexus isn't a real nexus, the update comes from Samsung, not Google. How long will I have to wait for KLP?
An on my 4S? I can install iOS6 the very same day it was released.
Funny you can run Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" on the original HTC G1. It is not fast, but the point is it works. So please tell me again how android 4.2 it will be incompatible.
Can you even run iOS 6 on a iPhone 3g? Let alone the original?
Show us where HTC has released 4.1 for their HTC Dream.
23.7% are on ICS and 1.8% are on JB. ICS might even hit 25% a full year later.
JB still isn't as secure as iOS 5, but it's very close as Google made significant updates. ICS is way begin iOS 5. GB is pathetic.
DaHarder, you should educate yourself on how Android works. The reason Apps work is because developers are coding for Froyo (API level 8) or GB (API levels 9 & 10). Nobody codes for ICS or JB (API 15 & 16) since they'd have a much smaller market of potential devices (customers) to sell to. Android Apps are NOT backward compatible. An App coded for ICS will not run on a GB device. They are forward compatible, so Apps written for Froyo will run on any device up to JB.
So you get a JB phone and you're stuck running Apps that use NONE of the new API's of JB since your App is using a SUBSET of API's by targeting an older version (like Froyo).
What's the point of having all those new API's if you can't find any Apps that use them?
Meanwhile iOS 6 hit 60% of phone and 40% of tablets in less than 2 weeks. If I'm a developer I can code using the new iOS 6 API's and even a 3GS will run my App. I also know 60% of users can buy my App and that number will climb much higher in the coming months.
Android is a mess.
It is also interesting to note, that although Apple replaced Google maps with Apple maps in iOS 6 -- Any iOS 3 - iOS 5 apps that were written using the Apple MapKit APIs run without change under iOS 6 –- even though the backend changed completely.
Good grief, does google update their operating system every month now?
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.
I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'm overdue for an upgrade, and from the looks of things, my next phone is going to be either this nexus, the iPhone 5 or the Asus padfone 2.

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.

Like using Apple Maps.

Okay, then.
