Lack of Android updates

More and more people are feeling short-changed after spending hundreds of dollars on device when there are no updates available after few months of their purchase.

In short that is simply a bad (existing) customer service on part of companies like Samsung, HTC, or Motorola and it will have to change in the near future as market will revolt against their products. 

I use my DROID2 with Android 2.3.x on it and I did not feel that Ice Cream Sandwich is a must have for me at this time. All my app are written for backwards compatibility and after testing them positively on the newest Galaxy Nexus I decided not to buy it.

If Manufacturers start upgrading their devices I might start thinking about writing for the new features.

  1. What are the phone manufacturers thinking? A big selling point of iPhone is the fact that you get new OS upgrades that provide more features. If the Droid makers continue to not make this happen in their world, we Droid users will switch to iPhone in our next upgrade cycle....count on it. Either work as a team with Google, or prepare to take a sales hit.
