Yes, there's an update ready to download. A quick search at T-Mobile verified the following:
"Android 4.3 finally arrived for the Galaxy SIII t999 (original), and if you havent already been notified on your device, you should be able to go to settings and check manually and download OTA."

It will take a little bit more code and effort but you can simply query the version of the OS and decide if you don't want that feature available (show a message saying it's not available for this version of Android) or run a different method that supports the old OS.

Yes, Moffett Field. Site of my local LUNARs low power launches.
Google signed a lease for the flight area. Hope they let us keep launching there...

The plan is to target a minimum version of 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
That covers about 74% of active devices, and maybe more of rocketry based on the above comments.
Please keep them coming. I'll post some screenshots.

I'm surprised how updated most of these are. Maybe only folks with updated devices are interested? Wondering where all of this old Android I hear about is...

I don't like leaving anyone out, but I think a line has to be drawn somewhere.
Right now the minimum version will be 4.0.3 I think.
If we go back too far we also run into pure performance issues. Things like graphing can get really slow on older phones. For instance, in our Apple field tests, we have found than on the older iPhone 4 the graph takes a long time to load and when you use touch gestures to pan or zoom it can be jerky. Rather than give up stuff like interactive graphing and google Map support, I think we should just plan to work with more recent phones and tablets. I know smartphones are crazy expensive and can't just be upgraded willy-nilly, but I'd like for the experience to be good. Tradeoffs...
