ok I NEED SUMONE WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE ANDROID REALM TO ANSWER MY QUESTION FOR ME!! PLEASE AND THANKYOU!!!!
No, what you really need is to calm down. You posted a request, and 15 minutes later you're shouting (that's how CAPS come across) and demanding an instant reply. Sorry, but (1) this isn't a help desk for Android. There's no one paid to sit around and answer questions, and (2) you'll find that repeating the same question every 15 minutes is not the way to win friends and influence people. Here or anywhere else.
I can't answer for Darth Mo, but IMHO he was being sarcastic. Saying that if
you didn't see any benefits to the Pre updates then
you probably won't be happy with the updates for Android or anything else. IOW, the problem isn't the updates.
In my opinion, for whatever it's worth, Palm issued frequent updates that made small changes to the OS, mostly adding features that should have been there from the beginning. And, because they were behind the 8 ball, seemed to do inadequate testing. Android issues less frequent updates that add major functionality to the OS. There are major differences between 1.6 and 2.0, and pretty substantial ones between 2.0 and 2.1, and very substantial ones between 2.1 and 2.2.
The flip side to the Android situation is that Google only controls the OS, not the hardware, and not any shells (like Sense) that run on top of it. So it's up to each phone vendor to decide whether they'll provide an update, and how long it takes them to test and release the update. Some older phones will never get the update to 2.1 or 2.2.
