can't use app if you use custom rom to get updates

can't use app if you don't have updates
RIP Motorola
- Rip Sony.
- Newer motorola smartphones promise 5 years of software updates. Everyone before is screwed. But, buying the newest should be fine if they research before making a purchase.
I see a lot of people going back to the old www . bankwebsite . com.

Phone apps are just modern toolbars.

And in case you forgot that scourge:
- I have 3 bank accounts and all require mobile apps. The Web Apps are limited in what they can do.
  
  That really does suck, and is poor product design. Besides using the desktop site, I'm not really sure how to easily get around that.
That will mean that they'll be able to sell more phones because people won't be able to run the bank app on a older machine?
- This will limit phones without longterm software support. The ones which don't provide decent enough software support will be left in the dust.
  
  Hopefully a small pain which will encourage better behaviour overall in the future. Hopefully.
