I'd love to run KitKat on my Galaxy S3 but Samsung apparently can't get it and the bloated pile of crap they bolted on the front to run in the 1GB the device has .. and before I get swamped with people saying "flash it".. I know I can do it but the point is that MOST people wont because they're not technically capable of it.
If a major player like Samsung basically writes off the S3 and the S3 mini in Europe with lots of people still locked into long contracts then what hope do Google have of getting KitKat penetration up to a reasonable level?
