The situation by itself, the Incredible not getting upgraded to Android 2.3, is bad enough, but it’s only made worse by the fact that the HTC EVO 4G is already upgraded, and has been since June. There’s no reason why the Incredible can’t see the same update as the EVO 4G. HTC could even skip over the major updates to HTC Sense, and just make sure that the Incredible is running the most recent version of Android.
Based on the letter, this seems to be a decision that falls plainly in HTC’s lap, and doesn’t really have anything to do with Google proper. After all, they released Android 2.3 and HTC had no problems with updating the EVO 4G. So, will we see another Desire update situation, where it takes the out-cry of the public to get HTC to upgrade the Incredible? Maybe. And if that is the case, and you’ve got yourself an Incredible that you were anticipating updating to Android 2.3 by now, then start your out-cry now.
