If you mean how long until it stops receiving updates to the latest Android version, that is up to Google and not something they announce in advance. But with a Android you are free to install ROMs (like Cyanogen) that are kept up to date with the latest Android version. Then it depends on how long that community maintains support. Failing that, you are free to build the sources yourself, at which point it only matters if your device hardware can support the latest version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
