Samsung may just beat Google's release of Android 3.0 out the door with their update to 2.2. I won't hold my breath though.

IMO, the problem with current OEM's treatment of Android is they're simply using it as they would any other proprietary OS to populate what they're treating as otherwise disposable handsets. They're not showing any signs that they're in it for the long term from either a hardware nor software perspective. They're not building a solid brand identity nor platform. They're continuing down the commodity path and that's why Apple is going to not only continue to slaughter them in revenues, but do so by an ever increasing margin.

Things are going to really be divided when many of these Android "proponents" start shipping Windows phones in a few months.
