Release pipeline too long

Problem is there are too many steps between Google and the end user.

Google releases a new version.

Handset manufacturers code an update.

Carriers add in their "value added" content.

Released to the end user.

Point in fact, I only got the Ginger Bread update to my Motorola Atrix from Orange UK in November last year, almost a full year after its release, no sign or hope of getting the ICS update anytime soon unless you do it yourself.
