Wow, they must have pretty low-end servers to have to do things one device at a time. It seems like what they need to do is have a cluster of servers dedicated to each device, so they can push simultaneous updates. Like I've mentioned before, Apple seems to have no trouble updating ALL of their devices at once, even now that they've gone to OTA updates.

Sorry I didn't see your post before I just posted mine, but given their line of business and their servicing requirements, I have no doubt they have some really heavy duty iron in their data centers to handle the load.

You also have to recognize the fact that the Verizon towers are bogged down when all the Droid Bionics are downloading the update all at the same time. It's an unusually large amount of data being transferred at the same time. That's probably partially why it needs approval by Verizon, but that should be the ONLY reason why it's approved by Verizon.
 
Apple only has one type of device with the same hardware so they only need one update to update all there devices moto has an excess of 10 different devices which means 10+ different types of updates of the same build
???????? The iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod Touches, and iPad devices ALL have somewhat different hardware to support. There are around a dozen different ipsw files they need to push, and some of them (iPad 3) exceed 1GB in size.

Exactly.. Motorola knows what's best for us, not Verizon. All Verizon should be in charge of is selling the phone and providing service for the phone.
 
base architecture the same since Iphone 1, like installing windows on a bunch of dell PCs sorta
Wrong, like I mentioned above, there are over a dozen separate builds for different iOS devices, some in excess of 1GB. Saying an iPhone 1 shares the same architecture with the iPhone 5 is like saying the OG Droid shares the same architecture with the Bionic.
 
I was wondering if this thread was going past 666 posts:eek:

i guessed 30... i was wayyy off... but someone guessed 60 and well we already beat that ahaha this has become the new 244 thread officially now
 
So I am stuck in a 100 minute WoW queue, and this HoB 7.0 is looking mighty tempting. Think I'm just gonna do it and make the plunge to .246, I really have no reason to keep putting it off, considering my 4g doesn't work on .905, and .246 should be the OTA pretty positively this time.
