I can't wait until the community ROMs (especially Cyanogen) start coming out on the Tab.
I'm 100% with you on this. Updates shouldn't be an issue, and they certainly shouldn't be held hostage via the caprice or clandestine profit schemes of carriers or manufacturers.

It's the ONE reason why I probably might never get rid of my Motorola Droid. It's been such a pleasant experience to root it, replace the firmware and the CyanogenMod image is almost entirely built from scratch using the Google open-source Android project source code. If we can get CyanogenMod (which looks VERY likely, from what I'm seeing and reading), then we're home free and independent of this kind of bullsheit. This is like a car manufacturer welding your hood closed (so once it's used up its life and dies, or ever needs fixing--you're screwed) and putting locks on the gas tank that only the manufacturer can open so that you depend on their brand of petrol. I really had high hopes for Samsung to be better than Motorola but this is truly disappointing.

And advanced task killer pro has cured my unresponsive problems, ain't has a force close for 4 hours! And the device feels fast and snappy, surprised to see some of the stuff that keeps opening in the background, but as long as i kill everything now and then, things seem to run ok, obviously some things i don't kill like my Widgets and some of the android processes, but you can create a safe list to hide those processes

Well this should be a reminder not to believe everything we read on the internets:

From the lips of Samsung Mobile (as reported by phonescoop):
No. Samsung is not charging carriers for Froyo updates to Galaxy S. We hope to have more detail on status shortly. Promise!

Take a look at what gingerbread might *look like* on the Tab:
