In case you hadn't noticed, PCWorld is nothing but a bunch of iPhone fanboys
But what if our device was left in the dust? The valid point here is that the iPhone OS DOES only get updated once a year and that update is available and compatible with all iPhone devices. What you have then is a cohesive, connected platform, devoid of gaps and those left behind. It's the kind of attention to the consumer that is the reason there are so many Apple fan-boys. For all the attention that we put on "lag" in the OS performance, there should absolutely be NO LAG when it comes to updating devices. Right now, there should only be two Android OS on phones: 1) 1.6 for lesser devices, 2) 2.1-update1 for higher-end devices. And they should be pushed at the same time. Android should not be a world where there is 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.1, 2.1-update1 and whatever intermediate releases (i.e. the current CLIQ update).
If you guys don't believe that the Android platform is fractured, then you are delusional and the only fan-boys are the ones on this thread. The fact of the matter is, Android IS VERY fractured. The hurried release of the latest and greatest devices within months of each other CANNOT be helping Android. It only serves to dilute the market and continue the fracturing. Since DROID owners will be getting 2.1 sometime soon (whatever that means), maybe we feel okay about it.

PC World (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"McCracken quit abruptly because the new CEO of PC World, Colin Crawford, tried to kill an unfavorable story about Apple and Steve Jobs.[5] Crawford responded, calling media reports of McCracken's resignation "inaccurate."[6] CNET later reported that McCracken had told colleagues that IDG "was pressuring him to avoid stories that were critical of major advertisers.""
