Well, that makes sense because Android has a long legacy of providing software upgrades to old hardware. The OEMs that support the OS have no interest in selling new devices and the folks running Android have no particular interest in newer hardware. in 5 to 10 years current Android users will still be perfectly happy with what software improvments can be squeezed into 2009 hardware. They are the altruistic ecosystem d'jour.
Apple, now that's the way to go. They have shown a commitment to keeping their customers current on software...except of course those things the old hardware doesn't support, like all the stuff in 3.0 that you need a 3GS to run.
It's amazing how folks complain that MS is so darn slow at upgrading their software, and at the same time gripe that they don't appreciate having to get new hardware every year. Guess what, selling stuff is what funds developement.
