Help Why lower OS on Devour?

[hal1]

Can someone tell me why Moto (or anyone) would introduece a new device with an OS lower than what's already out? Wouldn;t that be like Microsoft introducing a new laptop with windows 98, or media player 7 on it?

I've emailed someone who worked on the project creation of the Devour asking that exact question. I'll tell you an answer when I get one. That'll most likely be tomorrow.

The Devour works great, even though its running on Android 1.6.

skinned devices get lower os's due to their overlay and how much longer it takes to write the code for an upgrade... see motorola has to make a different interface than stock because of its blur phones..... dont worry youll see 2.1 in a few mts.

and all blur devs are on 1.5
