LG Optimus Might Get Gingerbread After All

It was just yesterday that LG were saying the Optimus line would not be receiving an upgrade to Gingerbread and that was that. The seemingly underpowered processor of the Optimus line just could not handle Gingerbread's awesomeness according to LG. BUT Today is a new day and LG has a different story.

"LG released information prematurely regarding the minimum processor upgrade requirements for the LG Optimus. Google recently announced the Gingerbread platform and has not yet published the Gingerbread Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) or the public branch open source code. Once the CDD and the source code is public, LG will evaluate the upgradability of the Optimus Series. We apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding. We will alert you as soon as more information on this topic is available."

This is NOT a guarantee that Gingerbread will find its way to Optimus devices, but is definitely better than a flat out no.
