    This was one good thing about Android until Google removed it. Why take stuff out which make Android better then other phones.

    It is a technology by Adobe not Google.

    @ the OP... What is the point of your post?

    There isn't any real point to the post beyond thegoodman's obsessive attempts make Android appear inferior to iOS at every opportunity since he (if you believe it) decided to purchase an iPhone over an Android based handset after months of deliberation.

    So you don't think it's important for someone spending £500 for a phone to know about the updates and the way device work?

    If one need a newer version of Android 4.1 or the Galaxy Nexus is the better option and it's £200 cheaper. Why wait months for S3 update to come out.

    This is not negative about the Android, it's an option to save money and have the newest Android phone with many added functions.

    It's important.

    But it is not as important as making an attempt to point out that your motives for posting the story are not genuine.

    I see you did not answer my question about the bias you apply to your "negativity".

    I assume (as an example) you didn't take time to criticize the iPhone 4 for being a £500 plus phone which didn't actually work as a phone if you didn't hold it iwith the Apple Special Ergonomic Grip(TM)?

    Sorry this post is about Android 4.1 and the best device to get not iphone vs Android. I am sure many post will pop up when iPhone 5 is released.

    If someone is paying £500 for S3 I am sure it is normal to expect update or newest version of os with extra functions when the Galaxy Nexus £200 cheaper is able to do that .

    How can this be negative when buying Galaxy Nexus is cheaper have Android 4.1 with many extra functions. This is not going to put others off Android, help them to select the right device.

    Your original point was incorrect.

    No one has any specific requirements for Jelly Bean yet, so that is a straw-man of your own making.

    It's cheaper for a good reason as pointed out by Fifer.
    This is not negative about the Android, it's an option to save money and have the newest Android phone with many added functions.

    You said YouTube video would cease to function, an incorrect and misleading statement.
