While it is not official, it looks pretty sure that like the Samsung's 2011 line-up, the Galaxy S II and the Samsung Galaxy Note will be getting Jelly Bean. The Samsung Galaxy S III will also be getting Jelly Bean. Expected time of arrival is by September 2012. I would expect to see at least the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 added to this list. Samsung really only takes care of their top end devices in terms of updates. But this is an improvement from their Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich updates which did not make it to the Samsung Galaxy S. At least now Samsung is covering their current and previous years top of the line, S series.

Jul 24, 2012 - Just make a backup of the important things, and give yourself an afternoon to. It is actually for a HTC One, but everything seems to work except the camera. You are looking for Ace Hack Kit (there is an XDA thread on it). The Desire HD (Inspire 4G) has been the biggest piece of shit I've ever owned.

HTC. HTC has official confirmed that the HTC One X, XL and One S will be getting updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. HTC did a great job with Gingerbread updates, and used to be regarded as the best OEM for updates.

Since Ice Cream Sandwich, they have lost a lot of ground in that regard. Right now it looks like the best OEM in terms of updates is Sony. In 2010 to 2011, Sony had a bad rep for updates. All that has changed.

Practically, it's entire 2012 line-up, including it lowest end phones are getting or about to received Ice Cream Sandwich. While unofficial the word is, Sony's 2011 phone stay at Ice Cream Sandwich, while all of Sony's 2012 phones are going to get Jelly Bean. Leave it as an option for rooted phones for power users. The option is needed to allow legitimate things like back-up and restore, and for the installation of apps that should not be in Google Play in the first place (apps customized for particular ROM's). This would also allow other companies like Amazon to customize own Android devices to download apps from their own store. This would also allow SysAds to install custom apps built in-house or for a particular company.

In other words, the non-typical user will be able to side load anyway. These days I would not really recommend a netbook. I am not very fond of these Atom powered devices, not even the newer Cedar Trail platforms. While they were fine a few years ago, they have fallen far behind the power curve. They feel slow by today's standards. HD playback is still iffy. The 10.1-inch low resolution 1024 x 600 screens, do not help.

They feel cramp for web browsing. With the 10.1-inch display comes with a keyboard which is a bit smaller than standard sized. Still you do get a full function computer at less than 14K, which can run a desktop grade browser and office suite. Not everyone is happy with an 11.6-inch or smaller display. 123 drivers ed.

While this is technically not an Ultraportable which means 4 pounds or less. The Asus X401A weighs in a 4.1 pounds, about a pound or more less than other low cost 14-inch laptops. Close enough. This gives you a full sized 14-inch laptop at a reasonable price. This unit as has a USB 3.0 port.

At Php20,990 you get it with DOS. At Php22,990, you get it with Windows Home Basic. This is a pretty powerful unit with an Intel B970 dual core processor inside. This is by far the most powerful of our four recommendations on this post. The HP Envy Ultrabook 4-1054TX is priced at Php44,990.

The HP Envy Sleekbook 4-1055TX has identical specifications minus the 32 GB SSD. This allows for a lower price of Php40,990.

Quick Specs: • Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit • 14-inch HD (1366 x 768) display • Intel Core i5-3317UM (1.7 GHz) • AMD Radeon 7670M graphics with 2 GB of dedicated RAM • 4 GB RAM • 500 GB hard drive/500 GB hard drive with 32 GB SSD • Card reader • USB 3.0 (x2) • HDMI Out • Bluetooth 4.0 • WiFi • Beats Audio (two internal speakers with a subwoofer) • Webcam • 7-hour battery • 3.9 pounds Now these things are after all called Ultrabooks and Sleekbooks, and as their name indicates they are a slim 0.78-inches thick. I wont waste your time. These are my favorite 13-14-inch sub-50K ultraportables in the market.

While having similar specifications to the, these pair of HP Envy have discrete AMD Radeon 7670M graphics with 2 GB of dedicated RAM for about the same price as Samsung offering and Sony's Ultrabook. Basically, this is the most powerful off the three. The 14-inch form factor makes them a tad bit heavier than the Samsung Series 5 or the 13-inch Sony Vaio T, but the Samsung and the Sony are 13-inch Ultrabooks, while the HP Envy's are larger 14-inch ones.
