It has now been announced by Google that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will not be coming out on the Google Nexus One. Now if you have read my articles you will know I own a Google Nexus One.
I originally had my Nexus One with Vodafone, as such Vodafone intercepted my updates and made them shit. About one month ago I rooted by Nexus One to run off the Google Updates and take Vodafone out the loop. Straight away my auto suggest was fixed but the phone was a little slower.
I have noticed my touch screen has degraded over time, this is a two year old phone and it is starting to show its age. About two days ago I was an extremely happy man. It was announced that the Google Nexus One will get the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich! However today I found out that the Google top brass said that the Google Nexus One will NOT be updates to version 4.0.
This comes as a shock to me as someone has already made a port for the Nexus S (yes Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is already coming out on the Nexus S, however some people don't like to wait.) The Nexus S was not a major improvement upon the Nexus One.
There was a video of someone running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on the Nexus One, however it was a pre-release, it was running pretty slow. Honestly my Google Nexus One is running Android 2.3.6 and it is not the smoothest experience.
I brought the Google Nexus One because I wanted to push the Google phones and get the developer features. Yet time and time again I have been punished. At first it seemed Google was a sweet lover now Google is just a progressive rapist. Maybe a little extreme, however my point is valid. Google has really shit on the original investors in their technologies. I will get the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich when someone ports it to the Nexus One regardless if they advise it or not.
Sadly due to changes in my personal life I will be unable to get my upgrade. Instead I am having to cancel my phone contract and keep my phone. Whereas the people who waited a little longer they got different phones with lower contracts and now have the Samsung Galaxy S II, which will be getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
In the end of the day I love the Android OS and have sat down and looked at getting a Chromebook (my boss has one and it is amazing.) Just like my article about the Google Merchant Center, Google seems to be getting more and more reckless with their actions.
Don't get me started on the changes Google are making with Analytics and their HTTPS search, or with their government transparency, it is sad that Google has made the decision to display that data than the governments themselves. Anyways I hope no one else gets a kick in the balls about the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update.
