What? It's not Google but the carriers and the manufacturers who don't update. Google doesn't earn money (at least not much) from device sales. They make money from app sales and ads. So Google would benefit from updating the devices.
I haven't seen this site before but I'm definitely not going back if their writers are incompetent like that.
- talmand 14y agoHaven't you realized that Google gets all the blame for problems created by the carriers? It's the same old blame game that happened with Microsoft for problems created by their vendors.

Sure the BSOD was "normally" caused by a bad driver and Microsoft took flack for that, but on my single Windows machine that I have, I can't recall the last time I saw a BSOD.
