[Owen Densmore]

Whew!  Finally I can update to the latest iOS:

I wonder when the Giants of Industry will stop making Us Consumers the losers in their game.

Yea, I know, my next phone will be android after Doug Showed The Way!

Doug: can all your stunts be done on non-Google handsets, like for example the Samsung Galaxy?  Will Samsung or Google figure out how to upgrade the firmware as soon as available?

My Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T just got upgraded to Android 4.1. I don't actually see any obvious changes, so I'm indifferent to questions of upgrade dates.

Hmm..is it usually the case that Samsung promptly updates the phone firmware? 

I think the current version is 4.2.  I'd like to know how many 'droiders have been updated.

BTW: I presume you can turn off automatic updates .. you may not want them for various reasons (latest iOS for example removed google maps which are now available so I'll update)

The latest Android updates for Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 tablet brought it to version 4.2.1 a few days ago.  However, as noted in the article I sent out a couple of days ago, bluetooth is still broke in this version.
