Ultimately? Nobody. Google has established that they just don't care that much about hardware-backwards-compatiblity with Android. They don't have the incentive to do so, for one thing - Apple has to think about the millions of iPhone 4 users when they push out a new version. Google has to deal with a million different devices that are the same age as the iPhone 4, and their only "blessed" one, the GNex, doesn't exactly represent a large portion of their market... so they can't code up special tweaks and hacks for the OS to make it play nice on those the way Apple can do with the iPhone 4. Until the break-neck pace of mobile development slows down or Google gets real traction with a Nexus phone, I don't expect this to change. If 2 years of OS-level upgrades isn't enough, then Android isn't for you. |
