Android Update Madness

Just read that Sony updated its Xperia L to Android 4.2 when Google released Android 4.4 about a month ago.  I mean really??? That just crazy that they are just getting to 4.2 when 4.4 is out.  This is why I dislike the Android environment, the devices aren't updated on a timely basis and if they do, it's updated to an old version, if they update the devices at all!  They basically just tell you to go buy a new device, because everyone has $200-$400 laying around to go buy a new device. 

Yes iOS isn't perfect or flashy but at least it just works and is updated and supported by Apple for at least 3 generations.  The Android handset makers just abandon devices like they are diseases and just say "here is the awesome new phone" instead of just supporting the old.  If you're going to buy an Android device, get a Google Nexus because Google will at least keep it updated and it won't have all that crapware on it that handset makers install that just slow down your system and collect a bunch of info on what you do.
