When I was looking for a date when the Galaxy Tab 10.1v would get an update to Android 3.1 i found this link.
http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/tuto...-1-8-9-7-to-update-android-3-1-honeycomb.html
Can it be or not? Can't even find the download though.
Do you guys know when Samsung will release 3.1 officially?
This is most certainly fake. First of all the picture doesn't even have honeycomb on it. Secondly they say that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be the first device to get 3.1 while the others are waiting just to get gingerbread 2.3.4
Two things wrong with that, the xoom already has 3.1 and they are comparing a tablet which will get 3.1 eventually to other "devices" waiting for 2.3.4 which are smartphones which will never get 3.1 because 3.1 is intended for tablets and google tv.
This is one of those crap put together sites with misinformation.
He's absolutely crazy if he think the Galaxy Tab 7 is getting Android 3.1 anytime soon (if ever).

I am not sure, but I am hoping the update is out by June 8th when they release the Samsung 10.1 in US.
I can at least give you somewhat good news. Android 3.1 was released last Friday in the US on the Motorola Xoom. So it is officially out and I am assuming and hoping that it should be released shortly on the Samsung.

Thought we was going to get Gingerbread but didn't think Honeycomb was coming to us!!

Oh I really hope this is true and they will update us to Honeycomb!
Samsung Hub updated their original post after they were questioned on it... they now say:
"Samsung India just contacted us stating that they cannot assure about the future upgrades but will be working hard to keep the Galaxy Tab updated."
apparently they have now doubled back again and in fact will be offering both updates for the tab
According to Samsung's official page, Galaxy Tab 10.1 should release with [the TouchWiz UX layered over] Honeycomb 3.1
http://www.samsung.com/us/article/the-next-generation-of-galaxy-tabs
Obviously 3.1 is very new, but I can't find any other Samsung source confirming that it will ship with 3.1. Most pages still say "3.0"
Has Samsung truly changed their ways as far as updates? With 3.1 being announced only a month prior to a device's release, they're now claiming Tab 10.1 to be introduced with the latest version. This is awfully quick considering it took about a year for Froyo to hit their Galaxy S handsets.
Hopefully this bodes well for future updates, too (I'm looking at you ICS).
Interesting ...
I am curious about the Book Cover accessories mentioned there.
Anyone know how does it function and look like?

3.1 is considered a minor update to 3.0. That's why it is still referred to as Honeycomb. It is not the same as the update from 2.2 and 2.3 where they gave them different designations (froyo and gingerbread) and the API changed a lot.
I noticed that too (about the Book Cover). I have a suspicious feeling it will look eerily similar to the Smart Cover for iPad 2 (same goes for the 10.1 itself) -- to be honest, I would be happy with that .

I get that it's a small upgrade, I was just surprised that Samsung isn't going to release it as an OTA a few months after the device is for sale, as that has been their modus operandi for their current Android devices (save for the Nexus S).
Come one what is the benefit of Acer keeping the beast locked down.

Hell yes.
Here is hope that Acer realizes the sooner they provide the community with what it needs to use our devices to their full potential the sooner they will move more units!
As soon as I saw Samsung released the kernal source it really got me down that I bought the Acer 2 weeks ago. Really like this tablet but with the lack of Acer opening things up I think my tablet is craigslist bound.

this is so bad of acer
Too lazy to find the link but someone got a Tech Support response that the 3.0.1 kernel source would be out in the next week or 3. Hopefully 3.1 will follow more quickly.
Edit:
<attribute lazy=off>Here's the link, should be out today/tomorrow
If it doesn't come out today, I'll chase it up again in that same support task.
yesterday I ask acer indonesia about when 3.1 update and about unlock bootloader
and the answer is "this is acer global policy"

if u ask the customer service, i doubt they even understand what u are talking about...
not customer service..i ask direct to product support manager and look like know nothing
They are doing there own loss .

I was just thinking... could it be that Acer is nothing but a marketer? They bought the device from OEM manufacturer somewhere in China, label it with 'Acer' and 'Iconia A500' and sell it.
That's why they know nothing about 'unlock bootloader'. Release kernel? Dream on!
Well, hope I'm wrong
Almost electronics products are made in china on this days,and they are releasing 3.1,so i dont believe that
Even worse, Honeycomb 3.2 is coming out within a few weeks and will be pushing to the xoom and possibly HTC flyer devices.
Looks like we are getting behind here Acer..

I was under the impression 3.2 was just for 7" tablets.

That's what I've heard too. I think the Huawei is the only official announcement for 3.2 at this point, with the flyer being rumored to be waiting on 3.2 for the update. So we're still only 1 real update behind.

No.
One of the things 3.2 brings to the table is better support for 7" tablets (presumably 1024*600 resolution), but it also brings better hardware acceleration and bug fixes applicable to all Honeycomb tablets.

I would like to see a relevant and trustworthy source as well. Everything I've read says that 3.2 = 3.1 fixed for 7" screens and Adobe Flash 10.3 built in. I haven't seen where any additional features or fixes were announced.
Technically I don't see why they wouldn't fix whatever bugs are discovered in 3.1, BUT I'm guessing 3.1 is the final major release with 3.2 being a minor one and maybe 3.2.x being supplemental bug fixes until Ice Cream is announced and released.
Tomshardware has it. I cant post links yet due to post count.
Go to tomshardware and you will find it.
its official that im getting this phone. But wouldn't it be nice if they made it possible to switch between android 2.3 and android 3.2.
Who's with me.
I would say it would be better to be able to switch between 2.3 and 4.0 if anything, but it would probably still be better just to be running 4.0 as it is a combination of 2.3 and 3.2 anyway

Not really, while Galaxy Nexus whit android 4 start in two or three weeks whit sell. So whit Android 3.2 youre allready on a previously version. And im not a develpoper, but i had a Motorola Xoom and Asus Transformer, that are only pads, whitout phone function. Im not sure if Android 3.2 has this function intergrated it the system and it was only disabled, or some Devs here have to implement it in the OS.
Android 4 would be the better option to switch..

Android 4.0 ICS is two in one. That's what i want, 5.3' screen and vanilla ICS. If i could be certain that vanilla ICS will be ported to Note, i would buy the Note right now. But nobody knows this for sure, so i guess i end up buying the Nexus.

Same I buy now the Note but I like a Nexus also
Well I guess it's pretty much save to say that Samsung will release an ICS update "soon". Knowing that people might skip the device due to no update announcement, they might just announce it officially tomorrow at the european release event in London..

Yes, but i don't want Touchwiz and the official update will certainly have it. I want vanilla ICS, but thats just me of course.
Silly Me
i forgot all about android 4.0 ICS. With it specs being better than the Samsung galaxy nexus prime, all but the processor which isnt really a big difference, i would hope that it come with ICS.
According to this webpage the Korean Galaxy Tab got the gingerbread update on November 2, 2011
http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/wi-fi/SHW-M180WCWOO-support
I was wondering if we have anyone from Korea who can confirm that they actually were able to get the gingerbread update... and i wonder when the rest of the GT-P1010 tabs will get the gingerbread update
Sorry

Sorry to tell you this but I was able to download the supposed tar file for the update but unfortunately I learned from it that the korean model uses the same Samsung SOC as the P1000, while our P1010 uses a lower performance TI OMAP. So I'm guessing that's why they got Gingerbread update and we most likely will never get it the worst part is that without Gingerbread bootloaders development is effectively stuck since all the "cool stuff" is developed for GB based devices
Thats gay... samsung seriously screwed up big time... they are just diggin a big hole of unsatisfied customers... after experiences like this u really start hating a company like that... no tech support, no reliable info, total lack of communication, and list could probably go on...
i am glad my next android tablet was asus eee pad transformer... been using it for 4 months and the support n upgrades have been smooth, quick, and most of all very stable...
Well, let's hope I'm wrong. Under all pronostics Samsung updated its GT-I5510 but I wouldn't get my hopes up for the P1010 seeing all the new tabs they're releasing and being the only one with the OMAP processor. It's a shame that Samsung makes these really great phones, I actually really like them, but the update support, ugh... it's just inexistant. A real pitty
Oh samsung, this is because everyday they do another tab.
