The Google based phone already get updates the most anyway, if your worried about the updates then get a google based mobile.

They should be handing out icecream to those phones now.

It's been like that from the start I don't know why people are suddenly worried about the updates being on google mobiles first?

Motorola will have a huge advantage if they just stick to stock android and abandon motoblur...everyone has some crummy GUI overlay that just ruins android, and they all seem to have crummy mp3 player apps, crippled versions of Gmail, and tons of bloatware that can only be removed with root. I had to copy the media player from my old Droid 1 to my Sensation 4G to keep it from crashing every time I tried to play Dimmu Borgir...and I still have not figured out how to make Gmail work like it did on my old Motorola...the HTC version of Gmail won't autosync no matter what I do, and the GUI is setup so you can't install the market version of gmail if you remove the crippled APK from the app folder.

Yeah, and if I were running a daycare, I wouldn't favor my own children to everyone else's. The fact that it was even brought up says something.

I don't know why people worry about this... It's obviously better business to have a bunch of companies happily sell your product then just to favor one. Unless you're crApple that is.
