This is patently false. 1) There is a stable build of ICS for the N1. The only hiccup is the video driver which is not being officially developed/released. Hboot was reformatted and it works quite well.

2) Apple upgrades older hardware with "lite" versions of their OS update. See iOS 4 for 3g (not an iOS expert, expecting corrections). No reason Google couldn't do this or at least release an optional experimental update. Sheesh, it's not like the rest of their stuff isn't beta.

They really need to get their house in order. The Nexus brand has erroded even with the hardcore fans (such as myself)

Here I am holding my beautiful but abandoned N1.
