It's irritating that people blame Android, Google have been steadily releasing new editions of the OS. Surely the actual problem is the carriers/manufacturers?

- gnaffle 15y agoThe actual problem is the carriers/manufacturers, but Google could have put in requirements regarding upgrade policies. However, they're apparently not in a strong enough position to do that, after all they need to get the manufacturers on board on the promise that they have more freedom with Android. They could also have made it easier on the manufacturers to do upgrades (ie. giving out continuous updates during development instead of just a source dump at launch time).
- tvon 15y agoOn a technical level, yes, but when discussing Android "the product" (aka "the experience") it's the correct way to refer to it.
- bunderbunder 15y agoAndroid isn't just Google. It's also the carriers and manufacturers.
