Samsung has just distributed the worst news of this Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade cycle: the popular Galaxy S smartphone that sold 10 million units last year and the 7-inch Galaxy Tab tablet won’t be upgraded to Android 4.0. The company’s argument is that they lack sufficient RAM and ROM to run the new OS alongside TouchWiz and other “experience-enhancing” software.
So, instead of what is doing what is best for the customers and the Android ecosystem, Samsung is going to do what they do they do best: cover their own rear.
As Shawn Blanc asked in his Galaxy Nexus review:
Who’s fighting for the users?
Pitiful, but not surprising.
