I really hope they do because I've been using Android since the G1 and am about to ditch it due to lack of updates being given to me on all the devices I have bought. Yes, I know that the manufacturers should push them out but I've got numerous devices including barely year-old Samsung devices (Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition) and they don't have recent Android versions. I also have an Android phone from Sony and my wife has a Samsung Android phone - no updates there! (This is separate to the issue that there is ever-changing UI guidelines on Android making each app feel entirely different to another one which is like being in a nightmare and not being able to wake up or understand how it SHOULD behave). As someone else said, you wouldn't be happy with a laptop that did not let you install Windows updates. This is the same problem we have with Android, and I'm getting really tired of it and ready to jump ship. It's all very well saying Nexus devices will be updated but why distribute Android to all other manufacturers if they won't get or push out updates? I can't see anyone clapping for Microsoft if they just pushed out service packs and updates for the Surface exclusively.
