I think we could have expected this all along; especially since they can't even get us, the Infuse, or the Vibrant Gingerbread a year after Gingerbread was released, and five months after AT&T committed to Gingerbread for the Captivate and Infuse.

at&t committed to GB for the Captivate? I know there were the leaks, but I don't remember hearing anything official about it.

Hope I'm wrong, so the source will drop for all the excellent dev's still working on the Cappy!

That has nothing to do with the I9000...
Samsung has been great about updating that device. Not getting gingerbread for those u.s. Phones is a carrier issue.

This is a manufacturer "retiring" a product. Which they are only required by google to keep the phones up to date 18 months after release. So this makes perfect sense.

I've read some conflicting reports that Samsung Galaxy S will be updated. Even if they don't were already using it, so big deal. The Nexus S has identical hardware to the Galaxy S variants except the Qualcomm (S plus)and TI (i9003)based ones. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect them to repeat what they've already done for the same hardware

Well looks like you were right and touchwiz is to blame. More reason why custom overlays should be abandoned for the sake of faster updates. Why they can't give pure ICS I don't understand!!?? ICSSGS RC1.0.1 is running buttery smooth on my phone so no biggie but so many people will miss out and its a shame. HTC claimed they couldn't put Sense 3.0 on the older devices and they recently updated the Desire HD and Incredible S so Samsung might change their minds and find a way to make it work after all Sony Ericsson are doing it on their phones.

They did - press release is here http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/att-customers-to-enjoy-gingerbread-126113088.html

Sad, would be nice if Samsung would release source code and let the developer community proceed with a full set of tools. Most caps are out of warranty anyway, and the ICSSGS and teamhacksung builds seem to be progressing nicely, but if Samsung could help them avoid any pitfalls on the way to release, would be an easy way for them to get goodwill.

One more thought, is the "Samsung is going to participate and collaborate with the XDA community, i.e., the SamsungJohn experiment, still around."

Seems like this would be the perfect out; Samsung provides source and tools to allow developers to build Nexus S equivalent ROMs for the Cap and other Galaxy S variants, and interested developers take it from there. Would be a great way for them to gain goodwill.

Yeah I don't understand why they keep the drivers closed source I mean a bug free cyanogenmod with awesome battery life sure would be nice since I can't even get a legit gingerbread update from at&t.

Not buying another Samsung anything ever again.

Ridiculous.

This is exactly what I returned the SGS II. They don't deserve my money.

It's not like this is really going to stop XDA from delivering a good ICS port anyways. It is absurd though, given that even the first few months of Captivates are still not eligible for an upgrade.

 

[b-eock]

But AT&T needs to be held accountable, along with anyone else who is delaying releasing a ROM on good timely manner. Also Samsung released KK4 AT&T stock ROM source code

The Rogers Captivate was released October 30, 2010. So the Rogers Captivate should get ics as it is suppose to be kept up to date for 18 months or to April 30, 2012. The Rogers Captivate is almost identical to the AT&T one.

Don't bet on it. The 18 month pledge only applied to phones released after Google IO in 2011. I think it's safe to assume that no Galaxy S versions will get an official ICS from Samsung. CM9 is probably the best bet.

I really don't know why anyone cares is this any surprise? Aren't we all here mainly for custom roms anyway? All and all 18 months of support is pretty good and there is nothing in it for Samsung to give it to us anyway. Most people have already moved on, and if you haven't your probably out of warrenty so put a custom roms on, otherwise your probably close to the end of your contract or at least an early upgrade.

I don't think touchwiz is to blame here, I think that was just a pr move as they've already been under fire over updates anyway. I still wonder if we're getting gingerbread, I mean we've had leaked official roms since June, I almost think at&t doesn't want to waste the server bandwidth

Seems the rumor mill has started about Samsung retracting their decision because of consumer demand.

Grain of salt as it's unconfirmed, but still...

I happily returned my Craptivate in only two weeks.

So much happier on an Htc Thunderbolt with open GB Rom. Night and day. I wanted to love the Sammy, but couldn't.
