I have this bad feeling that the G1 is NOT getting cupcake but future devices will. Sure we can force update, but this would be a very shady thing for Google/Tmobile to do. Only offer updates to newer devices so there is a reason to buy into the new hardware....man that would just plain stink.

Google gave G1s to EVERY Google employee as a holiday bonus last year. Do you really think they would do that and not implement as much of the Cupcake branch as possible? Do you think they're trying to get people to quit?
