Firmware updates and manufactured anger

I’m not sure if the news that Samsung won’t be providing an update from Android 2.3 to Android 4.0 for the Galaxy Tab 7 and the Galaxy S is (a) a huge big stick to beat them up – and if I had bought the Tab on a twenty-four month contract in August I’d be raising a very big eyebrow; or (b) the perfect example of “if the hardware is doing what you need it to do, not what you want it to do, then chill.”

Maybe it depends on which will bring in more page views?
