There's an analogous situation with the iPad. It took a while for apple to update the iPad to iOS 4 to give it comparable functions with the iPhone 4, which came out later, is cheaper, and sells many more units. However, it was fully expected they would do it, and they promised it, and delivered, even if they missed their ETA a couple of times. I'm an iPad owner and I'd have been pretty unhappy if they had not, and would think twice about getting an iPad 2.
Software updates and substantial improvements are the expected norms now, at least until the next hardware iteration arrives, after which people still expect fixes for major bugs or security flaws.
