Android should embrace a Windows-style security update model
- Zigurd 13y agoIn order to do that, Google would either have to completely restructure the OEM relationship for porting Android to OEM devices. And downstream of the OEM, the carrier would have to agree to deliver updates and be prompt about updating their own additions to the software load on a device. I agree this could be done, and I agree it should be done, and I even agree Google's gradualism in fighting the conjoined problems of "fragmentation" and security has been shown to be ineffective, it will still take a year or two to get results if Google suddenly woke up and realized this is a high priority.
