Sound the alarm! The limited amount of internal flash on the G1 will be its undoing, says one fear monger. With only 256MB of ROM, the G1 began hemorrhaging after the Cupcake update and it’s a pretty safe bet that Donut and Éclair will both be bloated bastards (from a G1 owner’s perspective) and so goes the rumor. One of the Android devs from Google added flames to the fire with the following statement:
As much as I’m hoping that it’ll be possible to somehow continue updating the G1, I can’t promise anything.
That’d be a real bummer if true. Way to go, HTC. Viva la Motorola! (NOT!)
Yes but Cyanogen and all the other XDA devs (not to mention our beloved Haykuro) will find a way to throw all the other pastries onto our G1. Have faith my bretheren!
I don’t doubt that at all, but it’s a shame if we don’t get the “official” releases. Speaking of which, I need to load cyanogen’s Donut ROMs onto my G1.
Well, if it’s true, in about a year I’ll be able to upgrade my G1… I’ll miss my keyboard though :(
thinking of getting a HTC Magic
any ideas on how future proof the Magic is?
I’m new to these cutting edge phones..
I solved this problem by leaving my G1 on a plane . . . what to get now?
well we need to find some advanced solution.
