What about Android’s Early Adopters?
Posted by: Frank Ableson in Linux Magazine, Technology, Android, iPhone on January 20, 2010
Android is moving. And fast. Unfortunately for many early adopters, their favorite Operating System has left the station with new passengers and the next train seems to be a distance off.
When you purchase a phone with a two year attachment... you're pretty much stuck with it, unless you're willing to part with a good chunk of change by breaking the contract or purchasing a new phone outright. The Android devices prior to Droid and now Nexus One are stuck on older versions. G1 and ADP users are likely to never move beyond version 1.6. All the goodies have really shown up in version 2.0 and later.
Perhaps Android should emulate Apple's model with updates for everyone, delivered through iTunes. Here are some more thoughts on it @ Linux Magazine.
