It's not "entitlement" when the unit is touted as being upgradeable as one of it's selling points. :?
Depends on what your expectation is of being upgradeable. I believe there WERE upgrades for those device in terms of ROM upgrades that fixed several issues. So they did provide upgrades, just not to next OS major rev.

I'm not disagreeing with you - in fact I agree that those devices had every technical reason to be upgraded to newer major versions. But technically speaking, they did what they were entitled to do.
