It's the processor - a single chip running at 800MHz - even overclocked to 1GHz - really isn't enough for all of the new bling that is Ice Cream Sandwich. But, Cyanogen gives us a lot of coolness far beyond the stock vendor-supplied versions. Tim On Mar 29, 2012, at 4:59 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote

I listen to Leo laporte on the radio. On one show some time ago he mentioned that some earlier androids could not be upgraded past a certain version. I suspect it has to do with the processor chips being incompatible, or with memory limitations, much like desktop systems. Bob Sneidar IT Manage

Just about all Android phones, and tablets can be end-user-upgraded via CyanogenMod. It's community driven, so you're not at the mercy of the hardware manufacturer. http://www.androidcentral.com/tags/cyanogenmod ~Roger On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 6:55 PM, Pete wrote: > Thanks Mark. You justy ans

You can update your Android phone. I've updated my original Droid to the latest and greatest version with each new release. I'm staying away from ICS because it is an original Droid running at 800MHz. Tim On Mar 29, 2012, at 3:55 PM, Pete wrote: > Thanks Mark. You justy answered another que

Thanks Mark. You justy answered another question I had. I was under the impression that you were stuck with whatever version of Android was on a device when you purchased it but sounds like you can updaste it? Maybe it's just phones that can't be updated? Pete On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 3:19 PM, M
