LG commits to Android 1.6 — not 2.0

LG commits to Android 1.6 — not 2.0 — for Rogers’ Eve

We suppose we should be excited that Canada’s version of the LG GW620 Eve is getting any major update at all, but still: what the heck? LG Canada has communicated via its official Twitter account this week that Rogers’ version of the phone — its second QWERTY-equipped Android set after the Dream — would be getting an update to Android 1.6 (known to the bakers in the room as Donut, of course) this Spring. What’s crazier, it apparently won’t be an over-the-air boost since they’re saying it’ll be available from both LG’s and Rogers’ sites. That’s not a huge deal, but seriously guys, why 1.6? If it were to drop today it’d feel old — and by Spring, when HTC, Motorola, and likely Samsung all have 2.1 updates at the ready, this is just going to look a little silly, isn’t it?
