Updates to Android is the talk of every day, what terminals updated?, When?, Why it about and why not others?, Who decides, Google, manufacturer, or operator?, And we could continue with the multiple doubts that spring to mind. An example of all these unanswered questions we get one of the first devices to hit the market and very good result has been given to certain operators, the Htc Magic.
Regarding the update to Android Android 2.1 or 2.2 of this terminal have heard many rumors and not when so many rumors have been confirmed by official Twitter accounts of some operators and indeed for quite some time. So why not come? Possibly because the communication channel between the three involved, Google, manufacturer and operator is not well structured and the communication is not entirely correct as it should.
As we said Vodafone Spain announced an update to Magic Htc late February, by then in theory there should be upgraded to Android Android 2.0 or 2.1, since then no more news.
In June, Vodafone UK HTC announced that the Magic would not have upgrade to 2.1 But Android is considered confidential information as to whether Android would be an upgrade to 2.2, although it is implied that it would.
France announced Vodafone Htc Froy for Magic this summer, when days after Vodafone UK said it would not have Eclair, summer is almost over and I sincerely hope we are not quite see it.
This is by the operator, and “by the manufacturer?. Post to contact HTC and asking about the update htc Magic replied that we “currently there is no plan to update the terminal model HTC Magic. The result of our analysis showed that an update to your phone may affect the user experience and ultimately decided that an upgrade is not recommended. The phone will continue to receive support, and thank you for your patience and understanding. “
With all this I would bet that the Magic will not have Htc upgrade to a higher version of Android that is, but what does seem clear is that the end user should be better informed as to whether the terminal will acquire improved software and when, and not have to endure this constant dizziness one another.
