Help Google Googles

Yeah, it was developed for android 1.6 and higher just like the new google maps update. So sprint early adopters are likely screwed on new apps for a few months. Hero users are also having problems with the apps showing up due to the 1.5 operating system but they will probably have their system update sooner than we will. Unless rooting and flashing progress gets a boost.

I guess our OS is old out of the box.

Android's life cycle seems to move significantly faster than any other mobile OS platform. Its not that the OS is "old" exactly, but that Google is just pumping out the releases faster than Microsoft, Nokia, or RIM ever have.

I'm hoping to see 2.x in the next few months. Hopefully the carriers can keep up with Google.
