I agree with you. There is no way that the Bionic and Droid 4 are going to be updated to Key Lime Pie. They barely got ICS. The Droid 4 may see Jellybean; but I highly doubt that the Bionic will. And I honestly don't see Key Lime Pie being 5.0. My Reasoning: Android started at version 1.0. Android saw 04 DOT upgrades (1.0, 1.1, 1.5 Cupcake, 1.6 Donut), before reaching version 2.0. At version 2.0, Android saw another 04 DOT upgrades (2.0/2.1 Eclair, 2.2 Froyo, 2.3 Gingerbread), before reaching ICS. I'm not counting Honeycomb (3.0) because it was temporary and closed source. Google then introduced Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). Some thought that ICS would be version 2.4; but that wouldn't have made much sense: Google had already released 3.0 Honeycomb and wanted to unite the Phone and Tablet OS, hence the need for a full number upgrade. Now, we're at Jellybean (4.1/4.2). There are 03 versions of Jellybean right now: 4.1.1, 4.2, 4.2.1. Based on the 02 previous major upgrade cycles, I believe that Google will introduce Key Lime Pie as version 4.3, as you say. I don't see 4.2.2 being KLP, mainly because a DOT DOT update is used for bug fixes and minor new features that don't affect the major system processes of the device. I believe version 4.1 was introduced as Jellybean instead of ICS because it was enough of a change in the way the device operated (Project Butter). I could be wrong, though | |
