As you can see by the numbers above, it’s still a sad state of affairs when it comes to Android devices being updated to the latest platform version. The majority of Android devices out there are still stuck on Gingerbread — a version of Android released almost 2 years ago. We, of course, can’t blame Google for this, but the lack of updates by OEMs and carriers is downright disgusting.

Google has just been awarded a patent on what I can only assume will be a future feature of Android. The new patent expands on Face Unlock, allowing users to set up separate user accounts and access them via Face Unlock. It’s quite brilliant and would allow multiple users to share a single device without their account or preferences being compromised.

Dropbox has once again teamed up with Samsung, only this time, they are offering 50GB of free storage (for 2 years) to anyone who purchases a Galaxy Note II or Galaxy Camera. Hopefully this won’t be a repeat of the Samsung Galaxy S III, where some carriers decided not to allow the promo.

Samsung has released what appears to be the Kraken of point-and-shoots. It’s a 16.3MP Android-powered camera, and when I say Android powered, I’m talking Android 4.1! Yep, I know a boatload of users who may never get the chance to taste Jelly Bean on their Android smartphone and yet here’s a camera rocking the latest version of Android (ouch). Other specs include:

A while back, all the major carriers (with the exception of Sprint) got together to start up a mobile payment system called ISIS. While ISIS has been absent from the mobile market for the past two years, it hasn’t stopped the carriers backing it from blocking its competition (Google Wallet) — a move I find to be illegal and completely anti-competitive. Anyways, it appears ISIS has finally found its way onto its first mobile device via a software update and that device happens to be the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II.
