My concern is when JB or whatever they call it drops,how long will we CDMAs have to wait.
No phones run Honeycomb and I've run into very very few apps that don't work on ICS. Most phones are still on Gingerbread and it's been a little slow in moving to ICS but that looks to be changing very soon with many devices schedule for or are already receiving ICS.
Jellybean is only OS 4.1 (coming from ICS 4.0). Not really a huge jump, just enough to give it a new name....kind of like Froyo (2.2) became Gingerbread (2.3). Now we have ICS (4.0) becoming Jellybean (4.1).
The migration from 4.0 to 4.1 won't be near the jump 2.3 was to 4.0.

Yeah but Google can not force oems and carriers to update. Plus you have oem putting their own software on top of android and with different carriers adding bloat its going to take awhile to update software. The only way Google can change that is by making its own line of products or buying out one if the major OEM..... urrghhh buying the patents that a major OEM owns.
