I really am thinking that Sony will not update the firmware for their readers. Yeah they're transferring ebooks to Kobo, but was that because Sony is responsible, or because Kobo is offering money to do so? When every other company has exited the market, Kobo has been there, cash in hand, to take over.
Also, even if they are just being responsible as you say, but are they responsible enough to update firmware for devices that are technically no longer supported? The T3 isn't available in the US, and the T1 and T2 are not made or supported. Most companies, that's enough reason to not do anything. It also isn't outside of the realm for Sony to just say screw it and drop support, like they removed PS2 support from PS3's, including ones that originally had support for it. Just like they removed Linux support for the PS3. Just like they've killed off major system updates for so many of their Android cellphones. Sony doesn't do stuff out of the goodness of their heart.
