what's new? every post, in every forum goes off topic.
Back on topic, I think there is a real fine line on this topic. Everybody complaining has to understand the business side of it. Everything in this world revolves around business. I understand the manufacturers responsibility to update their phones. But they also have a responsibility to their business. Say there were 2 million (just using for sake of simplicity) OG Droids being used out there, and Moto decided to update them to Gingerbread, how many people using those devices would go out and buy another one? My guess would be less then half. So that is 1+ million people not buying a new device. That is a substantial amount of money lost. But if they don't update to Gingerbread, I would guess 80-90% of those users would go out and get a new device, which means a lot revenue for Moto. More revenue for Moto means better devices come out in the future. Now obviously that is a really simplified look at it, but you get the idea. It is the world we live in people, get used to it.
