> Nothing is stopping Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc from having a monthly security update system like this one that the Nexus devices will have. Why would they do that when they can just sell new handsets? they have no financial intensive to do that, and that's where the android platform fails. Because for all these manufacturers android is just a free os they don't have to maintain to begin with. They(Most) are not in the business of selling software services. It's up to Google to find a way to force updates upon consumers , or these manufacturers will just blame Google for their problems. Google owns android , each time an exploit is found it hurts Google, not HTC nor Samsung.
