Smart Phone Showdown: Follow Up

PC World published an article stating why the Nexus is better than all other smart phones:
With such major differences in hardware between the Nexus One and older generations of Android phones, it's likely that the 2.1 update will take a while to filter down to the other Android phones, some of which were not speedy even with the initial release of the OS. To back this up, Android phones manufacturers are still using inexact timeframes for the arrival of 2.1 on older devices.
It also goes onto praise the iPhone and its users' ability to download the latest software:
Take in comparison Apple - even on the original iPhone (2007), you can still run the latest software update (3.1.2), albeit not as fast as on the iPhone 3GS and without certain features such as GPS or video recording. However, iPhone users, old or new, have always had the choice to freely upgrade to the latest software version, usually within days of the launch of the new version.
It should be interesting how effective Google's software updates are in comparison to Mac. We already know that Mac has a very effective way of offering updates.
