Well 5 months later it looks like today is the day that it finally gets updated to Froyo. JFC.
I will never recommend anyone to buy a Samsung mobile device again after this debacle.

The MAIN reason that Android updates take so long to get out is that each different manufacturer has their own UI customizations that they put on top of Android because Google had such a clunky base UI. With Honeycomb and even more so with Ice Cream, you'll see more phones using the default UI and that will allow updates to flow more freely. In theory, by this time next year, most new phones will be able to get the updates every 6 months as they are released.
