How can the problem be price, when most Android tablets are somewhat cheaper than the iPad, but the iPad sells like hotcakes?
Windows Mobile had this problem way back in the PDA days. You bought the device and it rarely if ever got updated on that device despite Microsoft putting out an update that will work on the device.
Phone carriers have a reason to keep users happy, but tablet manufacturers may not feel that they do. Which tells me that there may be another difference between Apple and the rest. Apple may look at a sale as the start of a relationship with that customer, while others may be focused merely on the transaction. Phone carriers are cognisent of the relationship, but Samsung may be thinking about transactions.
Microsoft is working around this, by giving OEMs/carriers a limited Window before they must push the latest update out to phones. It worked pretty well with the first major update. We will see how that works with Mango.
