1156285 2010-11-25 02:31:00 Yeah read about that yesterday. Can see why there's merit to them segmenting the likes of their Gmail and Maps app making them available from the Marketplace, rather than as a bundle with the firmware. Means if things like this occur then it's easily updatable... Chilling_Silence (9)
1156286 2010-11-25 02:37:00 But it does add weight to the argument for not buying an Android phone that's been hacked about, sorry, 'customised' by a manufacturer/telco.

Vanilla-android devices will have patches available far quicker than 'customised' versions.
