Source? I heard many people say this in forums, but never found an official source (or a blog report on Mashable or Engadget)...

Well my source is actually playing with the device literally holding it in my hands

Ok, well hopefully the production units will stay this way, that would be great news (nothing against Motoblur, but stock should mean faster updates)

Well when moto released the original droid,it was to launch 2.0 and it stood vanilla....I don't think the xoom will be different with 3.0 lol

I would imagine this will be a vanilla device. As witnessed by Andy Rubin playing around with this thing Google has obviousley worked very closely with Moto on this. I would imagine this device is akin to the Nexus and Nexus Z for Android tablets.

So no locked bootloader? Hope that's the case. If it is locked though I will buy a different Honeycomb tablet.

Well, they may (or may not, after the update in the article!) "motoblur" it with an update As for locked bootloader, Moto is supposed to change their strategy about this. Remains to be seen...
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/21/motoblur-coming-to-xoom-as-software-update-still-considered-goo/

I can't find the link but motorola has publicly stated that this would be a google experience tablet with no android skin. Its on phandroid or engadget or.....Droid life, don't quite remember where but if u look you will find it.
Edit: it would be great if motorola would change their stance on this bootloader **** and let us use their awesome phones with something other than blur.

Why would it not be upgradeable? Of course it is. Whether Motorola decide to provide the upgrade or not is a different question.

We should. On Milestone 1 is CM7 by kabaldan. It is using Froyo kernel, but it is really Gingerbread. But currently, I think its bad with our MM2 comunity ...
While the hardware is capable, I think you'll find that you wont see a release any time soon from Motorola as it may effect sales of their newly released 2.3 units.
The locked boot loader is a great marketing tool, some might even agree that its one of the primary reasons it was implemented.

I would not be as dramatic, the same as with MS1 we have to wait and see.
Well... maybe a Cyanogem release for all of us... Just maybe.. But that is fact: Motorola is using Android updates as a selling tool, doing few hardware or software improvements and putting the marketing focus in the Android version that comes onboard. Their Motoblur is so leggy that I had to flash another rom. That is one of the reasons why Milestone 1 is faster than Defy even on lower hardware. My next try will be a HTC or Sony Ericsson for sure.

I would love to see the Gingerbread on the MS2 but all we know how is... Just take a look here - There's nothing even about the US Droid 2
Yeah, there was a thread on Motorola Forum, and the default answer for the 2.3 upgrade is this page, but it doesn't even show M2 or D2 update schedule. Very sad

We need Cyanogen! Motorola f...g bastards!
pretty sure i read a quote on phandroid about a week ago from one of the motorola execs boasting that they will be one of the first to roll out gingerbread across their range.
people need to remember that an update isnt just one file that works on all phones. some phones have hundreds of variations. the upgrade has to be tested on all of them, then also approved by the individual network carriers for each region. a time consuming and complicated process. theyve got a lot more red tape to go through compared to freelance custom rom makers.
You mean what? MS2 gonne get the GB? Show us where did U read that. I want to see it in the flesh
I just read that Motorola wants to change its update policy. Make updates more frequent and sooner available.
Im with you when you say its a lot of work- but if they did what you describe they can just as well inform us and tell us an ETA. After all its not as hard as reiventing the wheel...

Lets make sure atrix gets ice cream sandwich we do have the power

http://www.facebook.com/motorola?sk=wall&filter=1 click the link people like it and comment on it.
I have seen first hand proof of this working. I had an evo 3d. Htc decided all futre devices would have locked bootliaders well that made alot of people angry. Someone posted a thread on xda suggesting we let htc know that is not gna fly. So it turnd out thousands of people got on there facebook wall and twitter. Guess what the next day htc released a statement saying that they wanted too keep there coustamers happy and that the bootloader would be unlocked. They were. Id like to be able too have a device and not have too get a new one juzt because moto or htc or sammy wants too put them out constantly get people too buy them and then ditch them and out out another. The atrix is 100 percent capable of runing ics and theres no excuae for it l not too recieve it just because moto wants people too buy new devices every couple months. I know many many people feel the same way well as i said we have the power too change that if people would stop bickering and take it seriously. And also if moto started supporting devices longer not just bug fixes but the new android flavors. Id definately make my next device a moto it would do nothing but benefit them
try and get as many people as you can too do the same. It will make a difference.
I'd wait until ICS is released. As things stand today, Atrix has the latest Android version available.
Yes that is correct how ever the atrix 2 is not a good sign for us. And it is a good idea too voice our oppinion before they stop supporting our phone if we do after really wouldnt have the same effect in my oppinion

The Atrix is really close to being officially supported by CM. Once ICS is released and the CM team makes their latest version (will be CM9) it will have ICS and will work with with the Atrix.
re: official CYyanogen support, do you know this officially or are you speculating?

They got tons of flak for promising gingerbread for the Motorola Milestone (gsm version of OG Droid) and then saying nevermind. Mind you, this was merely 1 year after the milestone came out as well. Gingerbread for the Atrix was inevitable. Not giving the Atrix gingerbread would be a PR disaster. What people fail to realise about a CM port of ICS to the Atrix is that if Moto decides to EOL the Atrix after only a year with no ICS upgrade, you lose out on updated drivers, kernel, and baseband. Sure we'd have ICS, but it won't run as well as a phone that natively has ICS.

You mean Froyo for the Milestone. They had to release it since they advertised flash on the box.
However the Froyo update basically killed the Milestone. Even Motorola put out a disclaimer that basically said the upgrade may cause performance issues.

Froyo was the reason why I sold my Milestone. Eclair was smoothly, and for whatever reason I could never flash back to Eclair. Every time I tried going back, I got forced closed errors everywhere.

They haven't pushed a new update for quite a while on any Nexus devices. There has never been an ICS version on the AT&T GSM version so I don't think there is just a CDMA issue at this point but an overall issue fixing ICS problems.

It's not only cdma version. Google stopped pushing updates for all Nexus lines until they fix that battery problem. I think they are almost finished

I know, think of all the sites and all the articles written about how OEM's can't get their updates out fast enough. Now when Google can not update it's only phones (a lot fewer than any OEM) with it's own OS (something they obviously had the source of for a lot longer than any OEM as they were the ones who built it) not a single article on any gadget blog or Android blog. It strikes me as odd after all the crying about the OEM's on all of theses sites, not a one can muster up a single paragraph about Google and their huge failing at the very same thing.
This is so disappointing. To me it means there's no Android I can safely buy and assume I will receive timely updates. And since I want timely updates it may mean having to look at other platforms. For now I guess it means that the CM team (or other custom ROM) is my upgrade path from now on. But custom roms still get better when official code is released.

issues???? where are these issues people keep talking about??? I've never had any!!! I've used almost every aosp available, as well as the 4.0.4 leak, and my ns4g has never had a single issue!!! **** them and their sorry ass excuses!! They need to hurry the hell up and update us. This is just becoming a giant joke....how can google even show their faces at MWC next to MS who pushed their update to every single device in under two weeks??
Google is starting to lose some serious credibility here, and I'm very close to jumping ship with my next device. I've always been a HUGE fan of google, but with this being my first experience with any nexus updates, you can't exactly expect me to stay loyal after all of this!!
Ok lets clear something up.
MS and Apple can push updates because SHOCKER...... they use cords!
Its not OTA like Google. Right now MS requires a cord and a computer to receive updates.
Dont know what's up with Google. I'm putting my money on Carriers slowing stuff down.

iOS 5 does its updates OTA. Again, how they are pushed has nothing to do with it. Deals with carriers does have an effect. But the issue with ICS on Nexus devices is not carrier hold up at this point.
According to twitter (last week JBQ responded some tweets), 4.0.4 still has some issues (telephony and kernel issues). Once that's fixed i bet we get our updates. All the OEM ICS OTA right now are on 4.0.3, which does have issues (at least on Nexus S).

HTC One and Vanilla Android (5.0 (Keylime Pie))?

I had sworn off non-Google phones after a couple of Samsung experiences, but the One is just so well-designed, I can't resist it. It's really the first Android phone which can compete with the iPhone in hardware design.
Now my question is, what happens when Google rolls out Android 5.0? Would vanilla Android be available quickly for the unlocked 32Gb and the 64 Developer edition? Is there any reason why it may not happen, or it may be difficult to do? Would the non-standard button layout throw a wrench in the OS upgrade possibilities?
I dont think so
If you buy the developer edition you can install plane lemon pie on it as it has the bootloader unlocked or any kind of ROM you want. On the Unlucked one you will need to wait until HTC releases the update as it also comes with thei Sense 5.0 UI.:laugh:
HTC have been saying they will be working a lot harder to get the latest updates out to their phones. And you can see as well in the One series that they have delivered to an extent.
Plus as the HTC One is their flagship device for this year, they will be putting all of their attention on it
As I would agree to this, without source code and binaries for the device I.E> sensors, bt, wifi, processor from HTC the dev edition wont just = instant updates to latest and greatest. Its just nice to see them least offering it up.
They don't even have 4.2 on the One, so I am assuming it would take them a long time to get KLP on the One.

There's a reason why they did not got for 4.2. Here's a quick snip from Anandtechs amazing review
HTC says it went with 4.1 for both stability and time to market reasons, which I think is reasonable considering some of the 4.2.x issues people have complained about, though 4.2.2 fixes most of it. At this point it would be awesome to have 4.2, but for a smartphone the only features I miss are the notification shade settings and perhaps photosphere.

But my point is not whether they CAN out 4.2 on their device, but the fact that they did not.
Samsung has 4.2 on the S4, while the SIII also has a leaked ROM. So, I would say that KLP would come to the One in Q4 of this year at the earliest.

What is HTC's history in terms of offering source code and binaries for their hardware? (I haven't had an HTC since the WM days
I pre-ordered the 32GB unlocked, but now I am wondering if I jumped the gun and I should sit tight and wait for whatever the Next Nexus phone is? The only problem is, Google does not know how to drive good hardware design, and I really doubt the next Nexus will be as well designed or built.
For what it's worth, I love 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Nexus, although it is getting to be a bit laggy with some apps. Nevertheless, I feel it is a bit more bug-free overall than 4.1.
If it doesn't look like HTC will release enough code to allow the One to be made vanilla Android and freely updated to the latest OS, i may actually cancel.

Also sense from other devices can be ported but its a pita so dont expect to much on that side.
However there are also roms who strip htc sense entirly making it a treu aosp experience and diff ui's can be flashed( xperia and samsung ui have been ported to hox)

But bootloader unlock (which AFAIK is available for the 32gb unlocked version as well) does not mean that the rest of the hardware will be opened up to developers, right?
Ugh, I was hoping for a much more optimistic scenario.... I love the efforts the developers here pour into maintaing these sets when the hardware is not exposed and the manufacturer drags its feet on updates, but after having to deal with the constant ROM tinkering and numerous resulting issues with my old Samsing sets, I am not excited about the prospect of going through it again.
Also, I am wondering if the non-standard soft buttons will affect easy porting of 5.0 to the One?
Having aosp etc on the one would be a bit pointless. I like it. The ones standout features are design sound and camera.
Youd have two out of three running aosp etc. Every other HTC device running has a scrappy camera since they went to 8mp. It remains to be seen what the ones camera would be. If it's deal though you lose a lot. Okay 4.2 etc is sweet on the nexus range but there hardware was built around it
Fairplay is try it on the one..debateable whether it'd be worth it though

I would hope so. But the fact that they are releasing their flagship with months old OS version is a little worrying.
I am not so broken up about 4.2, but 5 sounds like it will be a rather major update and if this thing doesn't get updated promptly, it will be a very disappointing acquisition for me.

Exactly. I can't believe there's already complaints about the time it will take HTC to update the phone to KLP. One of the main reasons people are flocking to this phone is the awesome job HTC did on the software features. If they slapped it together you could have the latest, but not the same experience. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

According to this site, Nvidia has confirmed that Android L will be made available: http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/35101-tegra-note-7-is-getting-android-l
I'm not sure why Nvidia wouldn't make a press release, though.
We were not updated to 4.4.3 nor 4.4.4 due to the fact that these are just small firmware updates intended to clean bugs, They might have jumped to L directly. That would be a better option to them and to us. this is what i feel
There's only one site that says this, with no supporting evidence. I do hope they'll push out L but why would they just tell one site no one has heard of? Doesn't seem like nvidias usual style.

Fudzilla has been around for a while, been going there for years. They generally are spot on, and do seem to have connections with Nvidia atleast so i feel that has some credibility. Considering Nvidia's swiftness with previous updates i suspect the Note will receive android L.
Same here! I have good remarks on gsmarena too. and if they are ready to believe, then I don't feel bad in trusting them as well!!

The GSm arena article only took info from the fudzilla article.

What I'm saying is that, if they are ready to believe in them then I too don't have any problem in trusting them! Get my point?

The only two features I want that have been inexplicably absent since day one are Console Mode and 1080p output for gaming. I want to use my TN7 as an Android game console primarily, but missing these features has made it less enjoyable than I'd hoped when I bought this... I was expecting this thing to essentially be a Shield but in tablet form, but in reality it's just a Tegra 4-powered tablet with no game-specific features besides gamepad mapping (which is admittedly an awesome feature). I'd hate to think that Nvidia was holding back features from the TN7 so as to not compete with their own Shield device.
The one worrying thing about android L for me is "Active Refresh rate changing" this is something that can be terrible for gaming. When playing on power save mode or otherwise, the refresh rate should never be messed around with as it breaks many games, emulators etc. I wish they had not implemented this feature. Also, I do hope they dont make sd card restrictions even tighter.
