Why the Moto X isn’t shipping with the latest version of Android
One of the more puzzling aspects of Motorola’s big Moto X launch last week was why the device won’t be shipping with the latest version of Android even though Motorola is owned by Google. In an interview with AllThingsD, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside reveals why the Moto X isn’t getting Android 4.3 right away: Because Google never bothered showing it to Motorola while it was being developed. In fact, Woodside claims that the first time Motorola even got a look at the Android 4.3 code was after Google unveiled it alongside the new Nexus 7 tablet last month. It goes without saying that this is somewhat odd, especially because Google is spending $500 million to make the Moto X a hit and it would make sense for the device to be a showcase for the latest version of Android.
This makes ZERO sense.
Your telling me, a corporation, as huge as Motorola, had NO IDEA about 4.3 until a few weeks ago? ****. I don't believe that **** for NOTHING. How can nobody at that facility know about it, even leaks of it? :x
Now, even if I took your word for it (which I won't), this is BAD ****** BUSINESS right here. How does your parent company NOT tell you about its latest OS, and ontop of that the CEO is parading around with it weeks before 4.3 is announced and not say, "Hey guys, we have this new OS, it's 4.3, it would be swell on this device".
Somebody lying man, we're not stupid Moto
