Right, you're missing the heritage of this device and what brought it to this point. The cell-phone aspect of this device is being billed NOW as a secondary feature (despite the fact that it initially was being pushed as a cell phone, and they were INTENTIONALLY making sure people didn't call it an Internet Tablet. If this isn't a cell phone, and you're pushing it as a general computing device on par with desktops, laptops or even PDA's, then by God, I do expect it to be supported with updates, patches and a good bonus would be general compatibility with other operating systems too. If it was just a cell phone, then why is it such a crappy phone? In which case, I'd expect they should WANT to update it to make it more attractive as a phone.
