> I don't have an Android mobile but I do have a first generation iPhone. The day iPhone OS 4 was announced and I learned most of the features wouldn't be available for my iPhone it was like it lost all its utility and I immediately thought of it as obsolete. Coming from someone who've own a Windows Mobile device, I'd say three years of software support and two major OS update, with the third coming in an upcoming months, is enough to satisfy me even if I don't get all the features. Several years ago, I bought an O2-branded [HTC Magician](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Magician http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Magician) and throughout its life, has exactly one update that not only not fixing most bugs but also introduce more stability issue to it. From that moment on, I refuse to buy anything without some kind of guarantee that I'd receive at least a year of software support. When my old WM device broke, the choice at the time were iPhone 3GS and Motorola Droid. Uncertain with software updates, I decided to go with a 3GS. That said, the choice would be much harder today even though I'd still choose an iPhone, because I'm not sure at this point if Google is willing to provide any update for the Nexus One three years from now, even without most of the new features.
