"The fact that volunteers create functional ICS installations shows that it doesn't take time or money to get ICS itself running."
????. I'm certain it does take both time and money. The volunteers are spending time on it.
- parfe 15y agoIt indeed takes time to build and release. I should have been more specific that I meant the orders of magnitude more time, 6 months, it can take to get a new minor version from the vendor, vs 6 hours from a kid working on a Saturday night building a major release. The volunteer worked a non-zero amount of time. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll make sure to carefully guard my language in the future for fear of being unclear.
- jshen 15y agoNo worries, I assumed that was what you meant, and I completely agree with your main point. I got a droid after my iPhone 3, and I don't think I'll be getting another android phone because of this problem.
- salem 15y agoCustom ROMs don't always follow spec, and often break apps, causing more fragmentation, so clearly this is not a full solution.
