iOS is much better in updates than android.

Root.....flash new rom. Don't hate a OS cause you choose not to use it to it's full potential. Even placing blame on the OS that has no say in if you get a update or no. Sony does. Buy a Nexus device if you want to make sure you get the updates.

Nexus isn't always the best choice. It's only advantage over other android handsets are the updates.

Why does everyone blame it on Android? Look, Android is just the software. It can't update itself, and neither can Google. Sony is the one you should be pointing your hate at. They're the ones who chose not to push out the update for it, not Google. Google just gives out the software, it's the manufacturers choice if they want to give it to their devices or not.

Don't blame Sony. They said they will support devices for up to 18 Months. Xperia 2011 models were announced at January 2011. Their life cycle is supposed to end at June-July 2012.

True, Sony did stick to their word I guess. Just a shame that even though the Arc S is capable of running Jelly Bean perfectly fine it won't get it.

Arc S is not better than Sola or U. They both have Dual Core SoCs with Mali 400 GPU which is much better than the Scorpion S2 SoC and Adreno 205 GPU.

Xperia Play was another case. You should blame Google for incompatibility with games. Sony released a ROM for the Xperia Play and could've "EASILY" updated it because it has the same hardware as the 2011 Xperia line but they didn't because much more people would've complained about games not working
