Primarily because you have other layers of approval/development to go through--for the MAXX, one layer would be Motorola/BLUR while the second layer is the carrier (Verizon) here. Considering it took the GN ~6 months to get an "incremental" ICS update I would presume that neither of those devices is looking at JB any time soon, with the GN getting it sooner than the MAXX because you have no manufacturer layer to go through first.

. I will probably make the jump to a Nexus device when my contract is up with the Maxx.

The reason for that, is because I want fewer roadblocks between me and an OTA when it is available. Also, as you mentioned, that is the direction Google is headed because Moto, HTC, Samsung have all been shooting themselves in the foot with their non-nexus devices.

Updates to the manufacturers will happen quicker in the future. Previously, it was known that Google would not release the next version to the manufacturers until it was officially released, which is the reason why it takes so long for the manufacturers to get it to their technology.

Last week, Google stated that they will start releasing the next release to the manufacturers 3-4 months before it is "officially released" to the Nexus devices so that the manufacturers have time to make the necessary changes and get it out to their devices quicker. That means that we will not have to wait 6 months to get it on the device, but rather 1-2 months (hopefully), or quicker.

No ideas, not even confident we will get it. Hopefully though.

I doubt we will get GB.

It took Motorola about 8 months to get ICS to us, how long would it take them to scrap that and bring out Jelly Bean? Nevermind, don't answer that. My heart can't take it anymore

We had it, brother. We had it.

I am certainly not spending the time to hold out for GB on the Maxx. I fear those days are behind us and it's time to look forward to better things.
