I personally think this is the biggest issue with the Android market, phones get stuck in time. Once bought, there is no way except for a very technical process to modernize the OS image. Contrasted with IOS; phones from several generations back are able to upgrade through a fairly simple process to the latest OS. This helps insure that most relevant hardware is within a few versions of the current shipping OS, thus reducing compatibility issues. I wrote off Samsung devices for this very reason. I bought one of the first pads and to this day there has been no upgrades to the OS on the pad. There is no reason other than forcing users into an upgrade path, that the tab could not receive a honeycomb upgrade bringing the pad up to an OS that was designed with tablets in mind.
