Samsung sold 20 million smartphones in 2010, expects to triple sales in 2011

The smartphone portfolio was not the only reason of Samsung Mobile's success – the Samsung Galaxy Tab was also reported to reach its sales target of 1.5 million units last year.
“Our plan for this year is to sell 60 million smartphones and cement ourselves as a global top-tier brand in this segment. It will be important for us to establish stronger positions in regions such as Southeast Asia, China, and Central and South America instead of just relying on advanced markets,” JK Shin noted. In the third quarter of 2010, Samsung was the #1 Android smartphone provider in the US measuring by sales. But it is very popular in other countries as well. At home in S Korea, the Samsung Galaxy S outsold the iPhone and was the first to reach 2 million sold units.

If they don't improve their product support keeping their products up-to-date then their sales are more likely to decline.
Today you have an article discussing the release of 2.4 and galaxy S devices are still at 2.1! Why would someone be interested in buying from a company with a record like this?

Galaxy S will be my last Samsung phone. They displayed some of the worst product support.

I agree with bad support from samsung like the above comments. I have htc desire instead of galaxy s, and I guess I made the right decision, I got updated to 2.2 for desire in just a month or two, while it's very late for the samsung galaxy S. I must admit galaxy S is one awesome hardware. Then I bought this galaxy tab because it was one of the first good android tablet in the market. However I must admit, i am kind of dissapointed with the quality of galaxy tab, the browser sucks that I have to rely on other browser like firefox, no support from yahoo android mail client, and it crashes once in a while after running certain apps, and everything becomes very slow once it starts doing syncing of online accounts. What kind of android device is this? I never have my htc desire crashes like this galaxy tab. Well, since there are so many great tablet announced in CES, I guess it's about time for me to become samsung-free!
