Finally!

I've mentioned this numerous times and generally people don't care because of mobile contracts and upgrades. Initiatives which stop a ridiculous amount of landfill and increase security have to be a good idea.

It wouldn't be accepted if your three year old computer had to be thrown away.

It might also mean that mobile phone companies start concentrating on their software. Too many are largely hardware focused then slap on a barely touched Android as an after thought.
