it will go to iphone 3GS and later, ipad 2 and 3, and itouch 4

And that's why I'm probably heading back to iPhone. They've supported the 3GS for four years. Suck on that, Google. If I drop $100-200 on a phone, that's the kind of service I expect to receive. Not the "six months now getthefuckout" service offered by most Android carriers.

lol yay because they have ONE phone a year. Android has multiple phones a month. Big difference.

Personally, I think its all ok. I get the freedom of choice and that trumps the very minor issue of not having the latest and greatest OS. My wife has Gingerbread and I have Ice Cream Sandwich. She doesn't even care or know as do the millions of other Android users who are not like us and read tech blogs and shit.

So, because manufacturers flood the market with Android phones, they're allowed to not support a device? That doesn't make sense. If I go buy an iPhone, I'm spending $100-200. If I go buy an Android phone worth using, I'm spending $100-200. For that kind of money (and the $1800 I'll spend during the contract), I expect support for that device. I don't care if other people know about OS updates, I know about them. And the new OS has new features I probably want. If my phone is less than a year old, I expect it to get those updates. It's not an unreasonable request; shit, it's a perfectly rational request.

Basically, you're arguing that customer ignorance validates shitty device support. That doesn't make sense at all.
