Some old Android phones are shit and have not been updated to what Android is today.
This is also true of Apple devices, whilst recent ones have updated the older ones have not. iOS 6 is not on the iPhone 3.
Still... that some have updated in both camps is a good thing. It hasn't been long since phones were never updated or updateable (shy of a firmware flash if you were a developer and knew your way around Symbian).
My view has always been that the best way to avoid getting stuck on an old version of Android is to avoid OEM skinned versions of Android. I've said that from virtually day one... and hey, I'm right... but only to a point. My Nexus 1 doesn't have Android 4... but then the iPhone 3G (not S) was out at the same time and that doesn't have iOS 6 available.
I'm just glad that we're moving towards over the air continuous software updates. I will be more glad when Google can make Android updates more like Chrome updates... Chrome being the most updated browser out there, with the shortest time between an update being released and the majority of the users using that version.
