ICS is barely even out and you wanna talk about JellyBean? Really? Be thankful of what you have. and no, if google releases another tablet only android os it'll be ruining what they worked so hard on for ICS, unifying tablet and phones.

Even if it isn't official...I'm sure we'll get a port.

I came from the DInc which came originally with Froyo. By the time I got my GNex I was already running ICS with hardware accel for a few months....

Doing something like 3.0/Honeycomb again would be a complete regression back into Developer hell, so Google has no incentive whatsoever to do something like that again. The only reason they made Honeycomb in the first place was just so they could get somewhat competitive in the tablet market because 2.3 or older on a tablet was just horrible.

I can also (almost) guarantee you that the Galaxy Nexus will see at least one major software update. I don't see hardware taking off more than it has the past couple years to the point that the GNex can't keep up for at least the next 18 months or so. But it's way to early to accurately speculate so I wouldn't even worry about it right now anyways.

i think hardware is different... the newest nexus the gallery is outdated as it is only duel core and not quad core like htc has. But i do wish that the nexus line would be the top of the top with experimental hardware such as the first phone with hexacore cpu, quad hd screen, 1tb of onboard storage (for games and movies) 32gb of ram and 64gb of rom and eye tracking for the security along with voice security to unlock and facial as well as both must match to unlock. also 3d heads up display...

.

There are not many mainstream devices running that hardware and you would like to see that in a phone? Those specs set you back a few thousand dollars in a PC so even if they squished half that in a phone it would be 1st Gen car phone size, probably $50k and you'd have to carry the battery on a dolly or segway.

bow chicka wow wow.

ICS has been out for 6 months.

They already have such a device....its called a notebook/laptop/desktopcomputer...

You obviously don't have a clue about hardware...

Also another tweet led me to another write up by Idk who that they wouldn't be surprised if jelly bean just never hits phone status.

First off,
haven't you ever heard you can't believe everything you see on t.v. Well the same holds true for the internet. Google iPhone 5 rumors and look at all the photos of design ideas that "most people" believe, or at least want YOU to believe, that it will in fact be the next iPhone.
Second,
You're actually listening to a guy who calls himself Idk, aka, I don't know? I mean, that's a dead giveaway right there.

I'm sure some adventurous developer did try to port 3.0 to a phone but there is a reason it was unsucessful, IT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR PHONES!

Not entirely accurate is it?

there is no way google is going to go back to one OS for phones and another for tablets....just doesn't make sense.

and i have a very good feeling we will get JB, and at least, unofficially, KLP or whatever they call it.

Unfortunately for those on Verizon, with how long it's taken them to push out 4.0.4, I doubt we'll officially see many updates let alone the next Android OS
