Re: Sick of new

Google was forced to do that hack to try to get some parts of its OS updated without the OEMs and carriers getting in the way, but that's only a halfway measure that doesn't fix the real issue with the Android update model.

Perhaps this is why Google is rumored to be buying HTC's phone business, so they can fix it on the OEM end and start applying pressure to the carriers.
