Samsung is on a tear!
Those who say updates come too slow from Samsung... at least Samsung isn't making you wait for the JB update for naught.
They're not just giving you the features Google added, but adding their own full setlist of features. How many Premium Suites will there be?
Whether the wait is worth it or not, that's up to you to decide. I personally think while updates are welcomed sooner, the wait isn't a deal breaker anymore. Because they're still updating it inside the one year S3 release cycle (Apple doesn't do that), it's not missing features (like some iOS updates that are missing the main feature of their respective OSes), and above all else, they're actually adding a lot of things with each update. Some are great, some not as great, but it's a robust list of new features and functions. All before the S3 is even a year old.
Samsung is in full throttle...
