Estoy seguro que es una noticia lamentable para aquellos usuarios del HTC One M8 que esperaban con fervor la más reciente actualización de Android conocida como Lollipop. La fecha límite que se autoimpuso el manufacturero coreano se cumple el próximo 1 de febrero del 2015.
En un comunicado de prensa publicado en el portal de HTC, una de las razones para el atraso, y que llama la atención es cuando señalan que se encuentran trabajando con sus “partners” algunos asuntos respecto a la más reciente versión de Android para los equipos HTC One M7 y el HTC One M8. ¿Alguien mencionó carriers? Si tomamos en cuenta que ya el HTC One M8 GPE recibió la actualización, no pongo en duda que el atraso se deba a las exigencias de los carriers.
A continuación reproduzco en su totalidad el comunicado de prensa de HTC:
An Update on Our Lollipop Rollout
Delivering major Android updates to our flagship phones has been a top priority for us because, just like you, we love having the latest and greatest software as soon as possible. By setting the 90-day goal to deliver these updates a few years ago, we have driven change within our own company as well as in the industry. Today you are seeing updates much sooner even from other OEMs. We also brought a new level of transparency to the process and the ability to track the status of the updates in real time when we launched the software updates page on HTC.com, which is also being replicated by other OEMs.
In the spirit of continued transparency, I wanted to share a quick update on where we’re at with our Android Lollipop rollout process. We’ve been working hard in the labs with Google and our carrier partners ever since the code release and are making great progress so far, but if you’ve been following the progress of this rollout you will know that Google has had to address several issues with this release. We’ve been diligently working to fix some of them on our end and incorporating Google’s fixes as quickly as possible, but despite everyone’s best efforts some carrier versions of the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) will not meet our 90 day goal, which is February 1st. While we are committed to delivering within this time period, we are even more committed to ensuring these updates result in an even better experience with your device because that is what the updates are intended to do.
We are continuing to push hard to deliver Lollipop to all devices as near the 90-day mark as possible, but we are taking every precaution to ensure the rollout is right and we aren’t willing to compromise at your expense. As of today, we’ve rolled out to Google Play, Unlocked, and Developer Editions of the HTC One (M8). We’re still working through the testing process with our partners and hope to have good news to share soon. We promise to keep you updated in real-time as additional devices receive the update on our Software Updates page and @HTCUSA on Twitter.
Thanks for your patience and feel free to reach out on Twitter if you have any additional questions.
