My iphone 3g loaned to me by a friend after my wife dropped two Android G1s (yes, really. She loves the keyboard. LOL) is barely useable. It had IOS 4? 5? and was sluggish to the point of frustration. I can't help but feel the same may happen to my ipad 2 when IOS 8 comes out. On the other hand Google stopped updating my Nexus One with Android 2.x on the device. Sure you could run a hacked port of 4.x but again it was sluggish. Your choices are semi-usable and secure and fast but dangerous. There's really no motivation for Google to keep issuing security patches for Android 2.x when there's a $129 4.x device floating around. And Android One does mention making the devices affordable. It isn't exactly green tossing a phone ever two years, but if they're priced like a commodity at least isn't as teeth-grindingly troublesome either.
