Not fair, Apple.]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/Hang on, are we sure older users have been abandoned, or is it just not fixed yet. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/We all know Apple (a long with most companys) make it so you will WANT a new phone and get rid of your current one. And Windows only does security fixes for XP and up now. They tried to get people off XP, but there are simply to many corp. computers still running it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending Apple, I honestly do hate them as a corporation, but its simply business like to stop maintaining older devices once they are a few years old (like the 3G), however, they have no excuse to not maintain the 3GS since its still a highly used Apple product.

3G is acceptable to stop maintaining tho. It's pretty dated now. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/
Well, it's really hard when they spit a new device out every year at the same time, literally... And it also hurts when each new device has 1 or 2 not REALLY needed features that just aren't worth the extra 100$.]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/

Did you graduare the 5th grade?]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/And yeah, MS tried to stop support for XP - because it IS pretty old now, and it costs them lots of money to keep the patches coming. (And of course to get people/corps. to buy their new OS.)
A corporation that is still running NT (2K).... does that even exist? That OS is 10 years old now...

If XP was only 2-3 years old (like the iphone 3G) it would be a different situation.
If Apple doesn't release the patch they seriously suck donkey tits.]]>Aug 13th 2010 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/Aug 13th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/Aug 13th 2010 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/

Piles of older generation Android phones are also not compatible with 2.2 and receive significantly far less upgrade support from the csrrier, much less Google. And the same went in the days of WinMo.

Plus, this would not be a OS upgrade for Android. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/older-apple-ios-devices-must-jailbreak-to-be-secure-oh-the-ir/No, if you look at the Android OS version numbers published by Google you will see "piles" of phones are being upgraded nicely.

Vendor support is inherently a bigger issue with the Android platform because it is up to the manufacturer to support the phone. This also allows for consumer choices.

Apple claims having one vendor is their advantage, but this article, and the comments, show they are not providing the support, or unification they claim to have.

So the iPhone platform is running on different OS versions with different levels of support.
