Pioneering T-Mobile G1 owners have been enjoying the spoils of Android 1.5 (or Cupcake, as its known round these parts) for months now, but it looks as if that very treat will be the last taste of confectionery goodness that the smartphone gets. According to Android software engineer Dave Sparks, a time is soon coming when devs "wont be able to fit the latest [Android] release on the G1s internal flash," and yet another engineer has chimed in via Twitter to say that he "cant promise" that any update after 1.5 will fit. For whatever reason, HTC gifted the G1 with an incredibly meager amount of internal flash, and considering that no Android phone will support app storage / loading from a microSD card, theres no way to free up room for Donut, Eclair or Flan. Youve been a real champ, G1, but without 2.0 , we just cant give you the love and devotion you truly need. Go on, call us fickle -- we deserve it.Update: Weve received a statement directly from T-Mobile on the matter, saying "We plan to continue working with Google to introduce future software updates to the T-Mobile G1. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate." Its unclear whether those are just going to be security and stability updates to 1.5 or whether well see wholesale new versions like Donut and beyond, but for the sake of G1 owners everywhere, were hoping its the latter.
