Samsung talks Gingerbread update.

Those who doubt can laugh all they want all I know is in the past I don't remember an OS getting this much attention and the possibility of seeing a 3rd leaked build within a little over a months time. Plus there was EE12 which wasn't mentioned much so it does show they are working hard to get this done.

Again, I would love to be wrong about the update not coming real soon. However in the case of Froyo, the original DK28 leak came out in December and we didn't get an official Froyo release until 3 months later, so current leaks of builds may or may not actually mean anything.

It is one thing to doubt that Samsung and Sprint will succeed in releasing something soon. That is a question of their competence to fulfill their plan, and their record on Froyo was not good. However, that is a completely different matter than twisting the press release (as you did above) to mean that no such release plan is officially announced.

Samsung now has officially promised Gingerbread for all Galaxy S models at some unspecified. time, which is what this thread's original post is about. Meanwhile, the leaked releases are evidence that they and Sprint are working on a Gingerbread version.

What remains to be seen is when they will achieve this.

It was not my intention to twist the press release. I was just pointing out MY interpretation of it. If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it, and I will do it publicly if the release comes out May/June. I do not doubt that Gingerbread will be available for the US Galaxy S Series, I just don't think it will be in a timely manner.

Your argument is a strawman fallacy. The Samsung press release did not say that U.S. variants will be getting Gingerbread "May/June." In fact, the press release was deliberately vague about when that will happen -- only that it will be done "gradually" and "according to the regional plan."

The Android 2.3 upgrade will start with GALAXY S in the UK and Nordic countries from mid-May, and gradually rolled out to other European markets, North America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East Asia, Africa and rest of the world according to the regional plan.

So I am not claiming that the Epic's Gingerbread release will come in June, and neither is Samsung. But they did promise that it will come. Before that press release, there was no official confirmation that all the Galaxy S models would get Gingerbread at all. That is the news of this thread.

OK, with that you are correct, that was definitely a misinterpretation on my part. I admit that fully at this time.
