The farce that has been Sony Ericsson's bungled,
delayed , and deservedly maligned
Android upgrade story for the
Xperia X10 family is coming to a fittingly silly end. Questioned by
Android Community on the possibility of a Froyo (Android 2.2) upgrade for its initial set of Android handsets, the SE team has just come out and admitted that there'll be no future OS upgrades, at least in terms of Android iterations. The X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro are not being abandoned, not at all, but the only software enhancements you can look forward to will come directly from Sony Ericsson. The company hardly sees that as a bad thing, however, judging by a recent tweet announcing its belief that an SE-customized Eclair tastes better than Google's
untouched Froyo . We'd protest, but what's the use?
