Came across this link on Android Orphans: Visualizing a Sad History of Support. This shows as a visual the reality of what happens in the Android eco-system. The iPhone has the advantage of being owned as a vertical platform across it's hardware and software (I rather dislike iTunes so it's not really an option for me).
While the Windows Phone is not on the chart, as a contrast we have this post Updates: Windows Phone 7.5 now available more broadly. This shows how much effort it is to have a diversity of hardware platforms yet a consistency of versions in a global market yet they are doing it. Add in things like the integrated hubs and that everything just flows together more seemlessly for me, it ends being the obvious choice.
Microsoft continues to travel a path of having all it's users have a consistent core experience, yet still maintain a diversity of hardware choice.
