    my first thought- wait a min! there is no update for Galaxy Tab 7.7 to JB???
    did a search through the comments and after reading other disgruntled comments related to Galaxy Tab 7.7, i complied the list of announced models(not including 10.1 inches, LTE and Galaxy Music as Music can't be found in GSMarena) getting the JB update that are either launched earlier than Galaxy Tab 7.7 or have the main specs that are lower than or same as Galaxy Tab 7.7.

    Here are the findings based on info found in GSMarena:

    Launch Date-
    Galaxy Tab 7.7 = December2011 available
    Galaxy Note = October2011 available
    Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus = October2011 available
    Galaxy SII = April2011 available

    Specs-
    Galaxy Tab2 7.0 = Dual-core lower @ 1 GHz, Ram same @ 1GB, Sec Cam is VGA
    Galaxy SII = same Cortex-A9, Dual-core lower @ 1.2GHz, Ram same @ 1GB, Sec Cam same @ 2MP, GPU same Mali-400MP
    Galaxy Note = same Cortex-A9, Dual-core same @ 1.4GHz, Ram same @ 1GB, Sec Cam same @ 2MP, GPU same Mali-400MP
    Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus = Dual-core lower @ 1.2GHz, Ram same @ 1GB, Sec Cam same @ 2MP, GPU same Mali-400MP
    Galaxy S Advance = same Cortex-A9, Dual-core lower @ 1GHz, Ram lower @ 768MB, Sec Cam lower @ 1.3mp, GPU same Mali-400MP
    Galaxy Chat = Screen resolution lower @ 256K, CPU speed lower @ Single Core 850MHz, No Sec Cam
    Galaxy Ace 2 = Dual-core lower @ 800MHz, Ram lower @ 768MB, Sec Cam lower @ VGA, GPU same Mali-400MP
    Galaxy Beam = same Cortex-A9, Dual-core lower @ 1GHz, Ram lower @ 768MB, Sec Cam lower @ 1.3MP, GPU same Mali-400MP
    Galaxy Ace Plus = CPU speed lower @ Single Core 1Ghz, Ram lower @ 512MB, No Sec Cam
    Galaxy Mini2 = Screen resolution lower @ 256K, CPU speed lower @ Single Core 800MHz, Ram lower @ 512MB, No Sec Cam
    Galaxy S Duos = CPU speed lower @ 1 GHz, Ram lower @ 768MB, Sec Cam lower @ VGA

    as can be seen, quite a number of Galaxy models have lower specs than Galaxy Tab 7.7 and no launch date excuses.
    is Samsung trying to irk Galaxy Tab 7.7 users(along with users of other models that have similar specs but not getting JB updates) and telling consumers "we have a lapse in judgement to not update Galaxy Tab 7.7 to JB. please boycott all our future products as we have a weird way in choosing what gets updated and we do not value your buying of our premium product. look at users of Galaxy Tab 7.7, they tried their luck in buying it but just too bad for them and may this be a warning to all consumers considering Samsung Android phones in future." ???
    Galaxy Tab 7.7 is my first Samsung phone and it will be my last if there are no updates to JB.
    if you are reading this Samsung, do rethink about including Galaxy Tab 7.7 into your JB update list.

                What?! What is wrong with you samsung?? Why is the "premium" device galaxy tab 7.7 not included? While the 7.0 plus is? I just expected that 7.7 would be there. So disappointing sammy.

                    why android is better than ios...interesting!

                    http://www.businessinsider.com/google-android-jellybean-versus-apple-ios-6-2012-9?op=1

                    'Android is faster, smoother and much better looking, and it cracks the distinction between Phone and Tablet devices in a way it hasn't before.'

                        They surely missed Samsung Galaxy R.. Too bad a dual core phone is not in the list when there are other phones not even near comparison to Galaxy R..!!!!

                                      Samsung get hold of a design engineer and redo the whole galaxy line.

                                      JB wont do any good with TouchWiz running, seriously Samsung the TW is starting to feel dated and for no reason slows the whole JB experience.
