Android Ice cream sandwich fragmentation fix question.?

does the release of ice cream sandwich fixing fragmentation mean that most all phones will get the update at relatively the same time? or will it be like gingerbread where there are months apart between each phone getting it?

cuz that would be frustrating for it to release and not get it.

    No it does not. Unless you have a Nexus device, if and when you get an OS update is up to your carrier and phone maker. The fragmentation fix is supposed to fix the fact that while some phones can support 2.1, they can't support 2.3. This causes a pain in the a$$ for app developers. Supposedly if a phone can support eclair it can support ICS.

    Nexus devices get their update straight from Google, so they are supposed to get their updates first. Carriers / Manufactures are just lazy and want to sell newer phones rather than update their current phones OS version. Samsung is a prime example of this.
