Does anyone know the ETA for "JB" ?

[lordkami]

I know it's technically possible to have it since we have ICS. An I would love to use Google NOW!!!!

 

[bradenfontaine]

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

You don't need JB to have Google Now... some are already tweaking Google Now to work on ICS, but I believe you might have to be rooted... at least so far.

And if you want an ETA on JB... I'd say look how long it took the Maxx to get ICS and that might give you some indication on how long JB might take!!!

Im gonna go with a big fat NEVER, unless its in the form of a custom ROM. What till the RAZR HD comes out.... people are gonna be all up in arms because it will ship with ICS and everyone is going to want JB updateable. Its going to be the ICS/RAZR debacle all over again. Google def knew what they were doing when they set eyes on the cell phone operating system "scandal".... i mean "future".

lol Be happy that the phone has ics. It will take Verizon months to update the so called pure Gnex to 4.1 and I'm sure that the maxx will get it but don't hold your breath.

Motorola needs to work on the Xoom first.

lol same here. I felt bad at dinner yesterday when my friend showed me ICS, then I showed him Jellybean on my GN. :/

 

[BIGsinner]

Hehe..didn't take long to ask when the the next android upgrade was coming to the Maxx did it?

But now that someone put it out there, should it take a long time to wait for an upgrade? I mean in the sense that going from v4.0.4 to v4.1.0 shouldn't take as long to jump from v2.3.4 to v4.0.4...should it?

 

[nbell978]

yeah..... you'll get it in 8 months at the earliest. good luck with that.

As Anakin/Darth would say, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"

 

[leroybrute]

I put Google now on my tablet. It will be pretty nice when they get voice working on it and the ability to back out of it without hitting the home key. Still buggy.

 

[DestinedtoGame]

Really? We are waiting to get ICS on the Rezound still and this phone came first. Be happy with what you have before asking for more.

I sort of admire apple iOS at this point. They release a new upgrade and most users get it a month or so later. I know android and iOS are worlds apart, but can't hate on this fact.

Guess not, but then again they don't get new phones every month or so from everybody and their brother (Samsung, LG, Motorola, HTC, etc, etc, etc). I'll keep my Android!!!

Just a heads up but don't tell anyone you heard it from me. My brothers, girlfriends, sisters uncle's, granddaughters, dog's, goldfish's baby mama's, home boy that were cell mates in prison together works as a Window washer for the company that cleans the windows of the 7-11 that is next door to the Verizon store in intercourse PA. He said that the Verizon rep was out side on a break snorting coke and he told him that JB will start the pre-pre-pre soak test on July 18th. If Motorola doesn't have me on this soak test I will be so pissed and rage post about it until they release JB. I deserve it more than any one else because I said it first. But get ready every body because then we can all laugh and look down our collective noses at all the poor now worthless people who are still running pathetic ICS. If they are god forbid running GB they will be promptly shot and put out of the misery that is their worthless existence.

Not entirely true........I have been 'digesting' ICS since around December. Just because Moto and Verizon take their dear sweet time getting it to us.

People want the exciting new features of the next OS (Google Now, improved Notification Bar, etc..) because it's exciting, and innovative. Just because the system is broken doesn't mean consumers need to lower their expectations.

There's zero reason that these updates can't be more efficient and reasonable in their timeframes that they get pushed out. This is Google we're talking about. I am certain it could get done if they really wanted it to. Open Source or not.

While I agree with all of your points, I have 0% confidence that this system will ever change. I think the future of Android is in the Nexus. Google knows this, and they're pushing their phones for about $50 more than you could get a new phone on Verizon WITH a 2 year contract. Their attitude is more of "we're moving on, screw you guys (Moto, HTC, Sammy, etc.) The problem is that we're at the mercy of those OEMs.
That said, there's 0 chance we're getting Jelly Bean. Isn't "end of life" status for a phone about 8-12 months after release? We're tied to the Razr, and that baby is in death range.
