Q. I want to update the android version which is 2.2 to something newer that helps the android market since its really lame and different from others ive seen, also is there anything else i can do to it, like a jailbreak or something similar?
A. go to settings>about phone>system updates.....it will scan to see if you have the latest update for your device and if you dont then it will give you the option to update it, however not all devices meet the requirements for every update( meaning it may require a faster processer or more ram, so if it doesnt meet the update requirements then it will tell you your device is up to date and your stuck with the current version of android your device is running)
What brand in your opinion has the best processor and operating software in tablet form and why?
Q. From an operating software stand point, I hear of gingerbread, ice cream, ios5, android versions and on and on. And then the processors from companies like Intel are all smaller and faster. If you can help me tell the difference in simple terms it would be greatly appreciated.
A. There are currently 3 or 4 operating systems that are in use for tablets right now, which are listed in order of market share (popularity)
IOS5
Android (note: Android comes in different versions, and each version has different names -- Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich)
Windows 7 and Windows 8 (which is currently in development and we'll start to see this in the market very soon)
QNX (only on the Blackberry Playbook) and WebOS (only the HP Touchpad)
There are also a lot of CPU makers -- which are not listed in order:
Qualcomm
Samsung
ARM Holdings
Intel
VIA
Texas Instruments (yes, those guys who make calculators)
Rockchip
Telechip
Out of that group, Samsung, Qualcomm and ARM have the largest piece of the market share pie (though I'm not exactly sure of the order). Intel currently have a very small niche of the market since Windows based tablets aren't as popular as iPads or Android tabs.
In terms of Market share, iPads currently have the lead, but from a news source:
>
Apple's share has shrunk from 68% to 58% globally, for the sake of Android tablets, which went from 29% to 39%.
Microsoft is said to hold 1% of the market, so that leaves the rest 2% for RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook and the like.

How do I update the Android OS on my Android phone?
Q. I would like to update my Samsung Galaxy S2.In the settings it says: "Android version 2.3.6" "Build number GINGERBREAD.UVLDE" I am pretty sure the latest Android version is 4.1, correct me if im wrong. How do I update to this 4.1 version? I figured I would just click "Software update" in the settings, but when I do it says, "No firmware". Please help me.
A. Yes, you're right the latest version is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but most carrier are busy rolling Android 4.0 ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich).
You phone will tell you of you can update to 4.0, Check on you phone "Settings > About Phone > Sytem updates > Check now", if an update is available you can initiate it.
For 4.1, you have 2 choices, wait for your carrier (maybe call them and ask them when they plan to roll the update) or update your phone manually.
If you are "impatient" and want to update right now, here are some tutorials to walk you through:
