Apple’s OTA upgrade process and focused hardware lets iOS 5.1 hit 61% adoption in 15 days… While Android ICS languishes at 1.6% after months…

Here is a quick article that describes the issue and a couple of things to try to get those updates moving again. Hope it helps you, it got me through updating 24 apps finally.

The more I read, the more I feel that Microsoft is continuing to wade up stream…An article from Tech Radar  continues the message that Office15 could not only launch later than expected (missing the Windows 8 tablet launch later this year, but it will also be in essence a legacy app running on he new Metro-based OS…What?!

“One source told The Verge that plans to create Office in true Metro style had to be pushed back “as the Office team would have to overhaul the entire suite to take advantage of WinRT” which would take far too long.”

This is where Microsoft should shine… Unfortunately, this is where many are looking at Microsoft as the as the salmon to an Apple bear…

“The strategy could see an awkward period for Microsoft where it misses one of the claimed core advantages for its tablets. Office 15 is known to be the first tablet-native version of the suite and will likely be the first version with support for ARM processors.”

This would be yet another critical misstep if Balmer let’s the next release of office NOT coincide with a launch of a Windows 8 tablet. If that happens, Microsoft will lose one of its key advantages. Especially, if MS does release any form of direct iOS or Android version of Office. They need to learn from missteps and mistakes made during The Windows Phone delay…

No blame, no pointing at their partners, no false sense of security. With trust comes responsibility. Accepting payment for that responsibility deepens the need for accountability.

No excuses, owning it!

The truth is that Ice Cream Sandwich — which I believe is the first truly significant improvement to Android since it debuted — is effectively a preview of next year’s Android for the mass market. – @gruber

When a new operating system for a device is released, it should be available to the devices capable of running that OS similar to Apple’s platform, however ,for Android that just doesn’t seem to be the case. This is at the feet of the carriers for any blame. The BS practice of putting an overlay on top of the base operating system completely destroys the true functionality and unnecessarily delays a roll out if not stops it in its tracks anytime a mobile OS (other than iOS) is updated. Load of crap that the carriers use to force users to upgrade thereby locking them into another 2 year contract…

Coming off CES this is blatantly obvious. There were a ton of new Android devices shows, but very, VERY few mentioned or were demoed Ice Cream Sandwich. Well other than “we promise an upgrade”…
