Nothing. It's an online petition.

online Petition

---

I ve started the petition and set the goal to 500. I will contact Samsung and local media to do so too in the next days and ask for a current statement for an update. I will give a hint that hundreds of people are waiting for an update too (see online petition).

Feel free to do so too.
As far as I will get an answer, I will post it here.

Sorry, what do you mean by "local media"? I don't know how your local news is going to help at all. If you want to make some halfway meaningful noise, why not just pester the hell out of the various regional Samsung accounts on Twitter and Facebook?

In my opinion it makes a difference if only I will contact Samsung on my own or for e.g. CNET,heise or chip.de.if you know computer or tablet magazines you may contact them too so that they contact Samsung too.I have neither Facebook nor twitter account, but if anyone will contact Samsung via twitter our Facebook I think this is no bad idea

I am trying to show Samsung that more people are disappointed by the Samsung support.

Maybe they will recognize that good product support is as important as good specs of new hardware....

Doing nothing means to accept all and to change nothing I think.
I hope that we all together will make Samsung to think about better support.
The more people who express their disappointment maybe the more Samsung will realize this.

This is my opinion and I hope we will have an update soon.

Not to be the bad guy and granted I would like to see ICS on the 7.7 as much as the rest of us, but do you people realize how many Android devices Samsung is constantly working on software wise? Not to mention the R&D for new devices like the SGS III? Which devices do you think deserve priority? It's a vicious cycle is what I'm getting at. Patience is a must.

I don't see why this thread has new posts in it everyday. Yes, I do realize the 7.7 has been out like 6 months or so. There really have been no significant news related developments on the potential release of ICS for our product. It's just a waiting game - No offense, but there are other things to enjoy in life. I waited 6 months for the first and only update to the Galaxy Nexus which I just got yesterday. The update didn't make me happier in anyway and I know there are always advances in technology (hardware & software) that I will be desiring of or potentially need (bug fixes).

Sigh at first world problems.

Online petitions, seriously?

I'd rather be patient and have a stable ICS than a rush job. Currently my rooted 7.7 with ADW Launcher and Gesturecontrol is smooth enough.

Its as much Goog's fault as sammy's IMO. They should have given the manufacturers earlier access to ICS code as well as not been rushing out ICS so quickly + given firm timetables. For complex devices like this the code is usually finalised months in advance and you want to keep the last minute changes to an absolute minimum. Without early access to ICS and timetables its impossible to plan hence I'm sure from an engineering perspective it would have been nigh on impossible to have pushed this device out with ICS. For example how long and drawn out has the Win8 release been and we're still months away from formal release, yet various test builds are out - even general public access - and you can bet the big OEMs get this stuff even sooner and will have the RTM months before production lines actually start rolling.

The bit I'm confused about is how google saw the exact same issue with gingerbread yet repeated the same goddamned mistake. Its evident that they are a software company and are learning the hardware game the hard way. (insert fruit comparisons here)

for the record I'm not a dev (router guy actually) but I completely understand the way these things work in the industry and as much as sammy needs to pull their finger out to support what is, spec wise, one of their flagships, they and other manufacturers have been given a raw deal by Goog

I'm wondering with Jellybean most likely just around the corner, (google IO announcement I'm sure), that they're holding back a bit? Wait until JB's released then update all the devices at once perhaps.
Does concern me that Samsung, with all it's resources, isn't able to allocate more time to these devices.

Glad i didn't buy the 7.7
I really wanted it badly but decided t purchase it when the ICS upgrade is out
And now I think Ill wait for a Quad core version of the 7.7 unless ICS comes really quickly out
Samsung is really disappointing on his and the lack of devs (Because Samsung hasn't released a US GSM version...) is not helping
I can't believe suc an outstanding product success has been spoiled by a flawed marketing strategy and flawed software upgrade plans
