It's horrible. The phone companies in Aust are really slow. 4.0.4 was
released late 2011/early 2012 and most have not released anything newer
yet. 4.0.4 has some massive issues, which has been frustrating a lot of
people i know. Which is a shame as it's a fantastic device. Vodafone
released 4.1.2 two weeks ago, google released 4.2.2 yesterday!

Well Android runs a linux kernel and is open source, so technically we are
well on topic. I will have to check out those tools, they sound nifty!
