Android 2.2 and 2.3 devices are still being released on low end phones, especially in developing countries, so the number of pre-ICS users are actually growing, not shrinking.


Bought one a year ago (2.3.3, I think). It's a Wildfire S, very small and lightweight, has a web browser. Can make calls and probably can send short messages. I was using Windows Mobile 2003 before that and thought I was finally on the "bleeding edge" of mobile technology, only to find out a month later that Android 2.3 is considered "legacy" and they are talking about not supporting it? What, are we supposed to buy new phones every five years now?


  are we supposed to buy new phones every five years now?
No. Every two.
