You also don't pay for software updates and game patches, do you? I'm not one of the people complaining (duh, phone has 2.1 out of the box anyway), but people who are do have some justification. When you buy software, you expect some level of subsequent support. Would you be okay if a game you bought is laggy and glitchy, then the developers release a patch only you have to pay an extra $40 for it? Dunno about you, but most reasonable people would be pissed off. Of course, it's to be expected that if your Android handset has custom UI slapped on top of it, updates are bound to be slower: but the fact's that most OEM/carriers are
not at all motivated to release firmware updates unless pressed.

Tough cookies. That's just the way the mobile industry, and tech industry in general is. It has always been this way, and will always be this way. You could buy the top of the line pc, but in 3-6 months time, there is something bigger, faster, and better than what you spend your benjamins on. Are you complaing about that too?

Bad analogy; you're comparing hardware to software. Unless the hardware isn't up to it, it will be able to run the latest software fine. Your average three-to-six months old top-of-the-line PC
will run the latest games without trouble. It'd be different if you're complaining that your P4 machine from 2002 can't run Win7 and Crysis, but this isn't the case.

If you really want 2.1 or x upgrade so badly, then by all means produce your own version, co-ordinate its mass release, that is cost-efficient, and you will be haild savior of x device.

Not valid. Look up Ebert's Law. If you go to a restaurant and find the food unsatisfactory/inedible, you have every right to complain and take issue with the chef. If the chef says you should go open your own restaurant and make your own gourmet food, then that chef deserves to be fired post-haste.
That's how the real world works, sorry.
