Well, in ICT stuff the "Law of the limiting advantage" applies almost instantaneously... When you by a product, it's probably outdated (sometimes ever literally) by the time you get home, as advances go so quick. When you purchased you Android device not so long ago, it was top of the bill, the latest and greatest you could find. You expect it to be useful for a period of time, mostly several years as it cost you so much money. Technology doesn't stand still however, and shortly after your expensive purchase a new version is launched, having even more capabilities and for lesser cost. But you're still stuck to that old device, as, for instance, you have a contract you can't cancel. But manufacturers made d*mn sure you can't just upgrade the OS, not even once, because they need to recoup the investment done in developing the hardware, *and* make a (huge) profit so their CEO's can stuff their bank accounts with triple-fat bonuses. That's monopolistic capitalism for you
So far, I resisted getting an Android device. The alternative is a Blackberry, but that's Closed Source outright... Nokia is a no-no full stop exclamation mark, now they've sold themselves to the Evil Empire
