That's because a 3rd party doesn't have the pressure that every month they 
spend developing the software is a month of sales lost...

At some point the OEM has to draw the line and release the product, ok so if 
the software was better they would sell 20% more units, but if they waited 
until the software was better they would sell 20% fewer units because better 
alternatives would become available sooner in the product lifecycle.
