GoMo Buzzwatch: US rollout of Cupcake update to Android mobile OS delayed

T-Mobile has announced that it’s rollout of the Android 1.5 update, known as Cupcake, is to be delayed by at least a week in the US. Considering just how smooth and effortless the Cupcake rollout was in the UK, this has caused some consternation.

There are numerous bits of information flying around about this. Phones Review ponders whether this delay might be a studied decision to release Cupcake at the same time as Palm Pre and the new iPhone reach shelves. Meanwhile, Google And Blog informs us that the name Cupcake is actually now out of date - the date for that release having officially passed, we can know look forward to the Donut update.

What we think?

Interesting theory from Phones Review, and on all probability quite accurate. I also wonder if the early release of Cupcake in the UK had anything to do with T-Mobiles announcement that they will be closing shop in the UK? Maybe they had to get Cupcake out while they still could!
