With all the new eye candy, animations, and of course actual features packed into Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, it’s not too shocking to hear phone once thought as still apt are now being relegated to the “legacy” column. Case in point: the original Nexus One. When speaking with The Telegraph, Hugo Barra of Google confirmed that the Nexus One was simply too old (read: underpowered) to run the upcoming OS update.
Sad to see the original “Pure” Google phone rendered obsolete in such a way. But let’s be real. The Nexus One is old and has actually had a pretty good run. Not to mention, we’re positive the Android hacking community won’t have too much trouble getting Ice Cream Sandwich ported and optimized for the Nexus One’s aging bits.
