Moto Exec on Android Upgrade Delays: It's The Hardware

Motorola talks upgrade delays and how its the hardware that usually causes it.  It would seem that Ice Cream Sandwich might help reduce those delays and get the good stuff in your hands sooner.

Motorola understands that consumers want their Android upgrades sooner, but the process is complicated, she said. First there's hardware support, then the layering in of custom software from manufacturers like Motorola, and finally, phones must be re-certified by carriers, taking more time.

As a Motorola Droid X owner, there are two things that normally happen when Motorola talks about updates; they don't say anything or they make excuses.  Seems like this time, we get the latter and instead of talking about one phone they talk about their entire brand.
