What does that mean though? The Samsung Galaxy Tab has no sign of Android 3.1 on it; the latest is 2.3, and last I checked it was only available in Italy; people in the UK are on 2.2 and have been waiting months. According to another comment on this post, the Galaxy S II is already an update behind.
That is my problem right now, I won't buy an android until cyanogen runs on it and it is easily rooted, so when my droid first gen finally broke I actually ended up buying an iphone as all the comparative weren't listed as meeting my requirements.
I hope when my iphone breaks the ecosystem is better (so far I only really miss native gmail and having an actual filesystem to use with the apps.)
Yeah, it kinda sucks that there's no Cyanogen phone on Verizon right now. I'm not moving to Verizon until that happens. I'm hoping it will with the SGS II.
I believe I read that the S II had entirely open source drivers, which suggested to me than the Cyanogoen folk might have an easier time with long term support. (I believe they also sent phones to several such developers). And given the high sales, I was certain it would be well supported by the community. Sad to see they've hit a stumbling block, this could certainly sway my intended purchase to a rival device.
With a history of poor support and lack of updates across all vendors, I'm not buying any Android device until Cyanogen runs on it.
Samsung has apparently sent a Cyanogen developer a phone, but they are struggling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15000396&...
