Android 4.4 was just released; I can understand if they're not using that, but I would expect at least the latest 4.0 version (4.0.4), which is 2 years old already.

Releasing a device using Android 2.3 at this point in time is the same as building a new computer and then running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista on it. You don't do that, if you don't have a VERY good reason to.
2.3 is probably the most modern build they can meet the hardware/display compatablity requirements on.
