Oh good grief. Moto Xoom gets JB before VZW Nexus.

Looking at this from the outside, as a former Verizon customer with a GSM Nexus in my hand, this is all too funny.

Yep just got it an hour ago on my Xoom.

The Xoom is a developer device. That's why it got it, along with the GNex and Nexus S.

Yes, but hopefully, we'll get an early leak of the test update for us Rooters to jump on. That's all I'm waiting for. I give it a month after the GSM update, so only a few more weeks.

I would say your estimate is not off the mark. Since VZW Gnex's got 4.0.4 about a month or so after the GSM version did. Google posted the factory image to their website a few days before VZW started pushing it out. A good indicator of when it is coming is when you start hearing reports of VZW soak testing. I saw some reports of that about a week or two before the OTA.

Here is the link to the factory images :

And this phone is a Nexus device. How VZW missed that memo is beyond me.

Didn't read through the whole thread but what about Jelly Bean not having support for flash, I know there are work around but what do you think?

It is more that Flash is not supporting JellyBean, or pretty much anything else in the future. I may be wrong but isn't this a non issue as Flash is going away.

Adobe is ending support for Flash on everything. Android just happens to be first on the chopping block. Linux support is also ending, and it won't be long before Win/OSX follows. Adobe is going to focus more on HTML5 instead of Flash, which makes sense. The writing is on the wall for Flash.

Also, Flash still works in JB, so it's not a huge problem. It'll be less and less of one as HTML5 pages replace Flash more and more.

Flash will only go away as quickly web site developers stop using it. I'm sure there will be no shortage of those who drag their feet in this regard.

Google Releases New Jelly Bean Binaries for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, Most Other Nexus Devices Too – Droid Life

I don't know. I noticed those new binaries yesterday. I check Google's dev website regularly to see if something new is happening.

 

[gernerttl]

Maybe Verizon found a problem in one of the binaries.

Any new news on jelly bean for the VZW nexus?

Is there a Mac version somewhere?
