Android needs to move beyond the 18-20 year old college or college bound male demographic if it's going to grow.
Around half of all smartphones sold today run Android. I don't think there are that many 18 year olds.
Your phone should update with the latest features as soon as they are available not a year down the line.
Yes, it should. But most users don't really care, as long as it makes calls and can get on Facebook and run Angry Birds. Apple/MS fanboys are correct that Android geeks aren't representative. But neither are they.
It's like playing roulette when buying a phone trying to find out which OEM will update there OS on time and which will not.
GSM Nexus.
