Verizon Confirms No Froyo for Droid Eris
This is fragmentation in action
This is a problem going forward. What devices will be supported through what release? If you don't know that going in, it's a gamble. At least Apple will release iOS and state
A) Device A and B will support full release
B) Device C will support all features except Y
C) Device D will not get the update past Z
Couple the OS release map issue, with that of the hardware manufacturer, then the carrier's choice of what OS it will allow on what platform and when, and you've got a crapshoot, from the end user perspective.
If this isn't fragmentation, then I don't know what qualifies as fragmentation.
