No Gingerbread For LG Optimus Line

The LG Optimus One has been doing some very brisk business, having sold over a million units to date and running Froyo, making it a very attractive option for comparitively little money.

However, all is not well in Optimus One land, LG USA have confirmed via Facebook that the handset will not be getting the upgrade to Gingerbead (Android 2.3). Indeed the Optimus line of handsets as a whole will not be getting any Gingerbread love. The stated reason was due to slower processors, but as you can see from the picture someone pointed out that a 1 GHz processor is not required for Gingerbread.
