One thing I noticed about Android forums ... is that Android fans often act rabid, and viciously attack iOS, Apple, iPhone, etc. Their main purpose seems to be to try and put down Apple, and they're obviously sucking at it. They cry often that Samsung this or Motorola that is much better than iPhone. Most iPhone users and fans don't find the need to constantly put down Android. It's weird - we're more interested in iPhone because it is an excellent, well-integrated ecosystem of products, services and apps.
But, to call the OP a troll - is sinking to the levels of Androidism.

Most rabid iPhone users put down Android all the time. The extremist of each group do it at the same rate.
Please keep us updated when you get Ice Cream Sandwich for your SGII without ROM/rooting.
Once a model is released, the manufacturers don't care about them anymore. They're trying to hawk the next "awesome Android phone" to sell more of those and this goes on. So, ICS coming to older devices is not straight-forward - yeah, someone may create a custom ROM and you can tinker with it and get it running on S2, etc, but it's worth more pain, in my humble opinion, than just plugging your phone to a cable, clicking a few buttons on-screen, leaving it alone for a while, and coming back to the latest and greatest.
I really wish Google had more control over Android, made the UI as sleek as HTC's Sense UI, and provided updates directly, and to all models released in the last year (at least). That'd reduce fragmentation a lot. ICS is one step closer to de-frag, if what they say is to be believed. I really hope so.

Might happen within the 16mos apple went from 4.0 to 5.0. We shall see.
All Samsung Galaxy S phones have hardware acceleration. It's implemented by Samsung. That's why SGSII web browser is smoother than Safari in IP4S (because it is also hardware accelerated AND SGSII has much faster CPU)
As much as I love Samsung and have a Galaxy S............it doesn't have Infinty Blade.

If you look at his post history, he's clearly a troll. There are plenty of regular posters here who are Android users and post many interesting, pro-Android threads that have spurned good discussions. This guy isn't one of these regulars. I'm sorry, but making a thread saying, "Some guy named Steve Jobs died, LOL" a week after his death is classless and troll-worthy.One thing I noticed about Android forums ... is that Android fans often act rabid, and viciously attack iOS, Apple, iPhone, etc. Their main purpose seems to be to try and put down Apple, and they're obviously sucking at it.

Agree. I LOVE my Samsung Vibrant. But I became REALLY envious of EVO owners. The Galaxy is is SUPERIOR to EVO in almost every way. BUT Samsung said frack it we're not suporting you anymore as soon as it was released....
That's like Henry Ford releasing his cars with some gas cans and was in no talks to get gas stations....*******s.
Which is why no matter far behind Apple is hardware wise....they support it.
It's like buying a gaming console vs a pc. Except in the PC case they stop sending updates.

I have to agree with nooaah. The OP's posting history speaks for itself. We already have a number of posters who are here mainly to either correct what they think is rabid love for Apple or simply to post negative attacks on Apple, but the OP takes a bit too far IMHO.
If you only put one one product every 15 months then you'd have to support it in order to keep your customers.
Yes, it sucks that the Vibrant is going to get any/many more upgrades, but the team that would have been responsible for that at Samsung are probably working on ice cream, jelly bean and karrot cake

But the Galaxy S comes out every 12 so far and it doesn't get support the whole year.
I wouldn't say better, but it deserves the 2011 phone of the year award and the difference in capability is not all that different. GSII deserves the phone of the year award because it sold the best because they were out longer and upgrade between the GS1 vs GS2 is bigger than 4 vs 4S. If 4S wins phone of the year, it has more to do with iOS than anything else. And when you compare the GSII vs iP4S in a speed test, you won't see much of a difference in real life uses. There isn't much of a difference in speed between the 4 vs 4S to begin with.
When it comes to mobile software, go American like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. When it comes to hardware, go Asian like HTC, Samsung, Sony, and LG. When it comes to luxurious cars, cuisine, and cute babes, I like them European.
Can't we all just get along?
Many Koreans worked their asses off to push Samsung ahead of HTC as the best Android/WP7 OEM as of this year. I am not Korean, but I have many friends who are and they are great people to be around with from my personal experience. South Korea still has one of the fastest growing economies. Congrats on Samsung's booming semiconductor business and the 30M Galaxy S phones sold so far. That is an impressive sales figure considering the GS1 was released last year and Samsung still has to compete with other Android OEM's. Some say you can't compare iPhone sales (one phone) vs Android sales (multiple phones lumped together). But it can cut both ways. Android OEM's also cannibalize each other in sales while Apple only worries about one phone per year.
Chuka hamnida!

Way to dodge the question. Yes, but it's available to all compatible devices on the same day.
First pose a question? Go back and read! I Spoke the truth.
Easy to do when you make one phone every 16 months, android is on multiple manufacturers devices, not as easy. You better provide updates if you throw out one dog in that time frame.
Not a fair comparison...
Rather All 3gs and iphone 4 handsets got the pdate at the exact same time ios 5 was released with the 4S... And not to mention the 4.1s and the 4.2s...
If you comparing then please tell me whether the SGSII will receive ICS on the day it is released...?
