Apple really have worked out the importance of a consistent platform with regular updates.<p>Google really stuffed up by not ensuring from day one that all Android devices MUST update from a central, Google controlled resource.<p>Android shouldn't be fragmented but googles poor decisions mean it is. The outcome is that when disastrous security flaws are revealed, the best Google can do is say "errr, please, phone vendors, we'd like it if you considered maybe offering an optional critical security update." The phone vendors say "what, we've got better things to do." Royal fuck up.
