I agree Rocco. Granted I've had mine since December, but still. I'm really getting tired of being treated like a second class citizen because I'm an existing customer/user that showed the interest and support in a device that helped a manufacturer get going.
I've just gone through the same thing with my cell phone. I bought a Cingular 3125 (The "Star Trek" phone) last September as my old MPx220 had seen its better days and I wanted to get the latest version of Windows Mobile. So here it is 8 months later (with a phone under a 2yr contract) and I find that HTC didn't feel they sold enough, so currently no plans to release Windows Mobile 6 for my phone To add insult to injury Cingular no longer carries it in their stores, it's now only available online . So I'm in the exact same spot I was in 8 months ago! 
I can appreciate manufacturers wanting to sell product, but do they always have to do it at the expense of their existing client base? I don't know about you, but when this happens to me, I generally make it a rule to buy my next device from a competitor (Not to mention waiting to see how it's going to do in the marketplace). With cell phones, I wouldn't mind so much if they weren't locking you in to a 2 year contract.
Oh well, I really got off on a tangent. Hopefully, with the release of Zune 2.0 we'll get to reap some of the benefits with our existing devices. If it helps bring more users into the fold that will be a good thing.
