Samsung Galaxy Wifi 10.1 hits Amazon

http://amzn.com/B00519RWI8

it's listed as having android 3.0.1... I thought it was launching with 3.1 =[

BestBuy page says 3.1
I guess this thing really is going to come down to the last minute before all the facts are out.
Oh well if it releases on time we should have our answers by this time next week.
I really need to stop looking at these links. I want the 8.9 but so tempted to get the 10.1

the back cover doesn't look plastic

it was published on 5/4 and the facebook confirmation on 5/24:
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA/posts/10150181376246786
"Samsung Mobile USA in regards to 3.0 message.The original had 3.0 but now it will be with Android 3.1 - http://ow.ly/51E07
May 24 at 10:02am"

Somebody needs to leak the 3.1 lol..this 3.0.1 is way to buggy. Browser always freezes, keyboard and market force close, and it randomly just turns itself off.

I wonder if the price will actually be lower than the 499. I notice the price on the GT 7 went down on Amazon. For 399, I think I'd swoop in and get one so I can stop coming on XDA to read about it.

The technical spec on that amazon link is a joke, "Processor: 1 GHz Mobile AMD Duron" and "RAM: 2000 MB"

'Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.'
Hope that changes

What are your thoughts on the upcoming release?
What will be is fixed, what will be is added and what is still broken? Flash still an issue?
Browser typing lag fixed? Some report it better, some say it's still the same.
[Q]Will you be able to retrieve the update when being on a custom and/or rooted ROM?
No, you will have to go back to stock, or wait for a CWM build/Custom ROM to be released.
WiFi problems reported, are you seeing them?
SD Card support? http://blogs.computerworld.com/18692/android_32_upgrade
Do you like the new mouse cursor? Or what should we call it now?
'Default app not set' problem? See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191106

I scanned it yesterday to check for updates and nothing happened. After reading the tweet I decided to scan again and it literally took at least 6 minutes to tell me there was no update. Muahahaha can't wait!

Uhm, WW version is planned for August 2nd

To unroot or not to unroot
Hopefully someone can root this quickly

I wonder if this will fix some SOD/reboot issues.

And this isn't development.

Didn't Taiwan come out first for the 3.1 update? Or do you mean the most recent 3.1 ota?

I don't think there will be any more major updates coming after 3.2 so would be a good time to root my tf101.

I'll be EXTREMELY disappointed if the transformer doesn't get ICS via Official FOTA!

I was thinking: since the TF specs page on the Asus Web site now lists the Netflix app, I'd think that Asus has a real incentive to get 3.2 out there (which will presumably include said Netflix app). Otherwise, they're basically engaging in false advertising. So, since they haven't removed that reference (as far as I know, and it's been pretty widely discussed on the 'nets), I'm guessing that they definitely plan on pushing this update out pronto.
Which is cool. If 3.2 does come out tomorrow, and includes Netflix, I think the TF will be the first shipping Honeycomb tablet with official Netflix support.

I have no doubt whatsoever that we'll get official ICS on the TF. It flies in the face of reason to assume otherwise, I think. Seriously: what good reason would Asus have to NOT update the TF to ICS? Compared, of course, to all the very bad reasons...

Guys - it was my mistake that I closed this thread along with the other 2 duplicates. I apologize. This one should have stayed open.

Looking forward to it ...

Does ICS stand for Internet Connection Sharing????
The Netfilx app and being able to surf the net through my HTC Touch Pro 2 (rooted WM6.5) are my two biggest complaints with my 4 day old Transformer. Whether these are in the ASUS release of Honeycomb 3.2 will be my decision maker on whether to root or not.

Hope this fix browser issues and lag in potrait mode.

I am very excited for 3.2! And also I have a good feeling for us getting ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich).

I really hope that 3.2 update will solve slow portrait mode issue, laggy browser and slow pdf scrolling.
My 2 years old Ipad is silky scrolling through any type of files and I hope that Transformer will be too.
Good night to you all

Oct. 1 and still no info..

So its Oct. 1 and still not information yet on if and when the TF2 will be released. I guess I will be buying a TF1 and then maybe selling it later on to get a TF2.. I did find a Store in my town that has nothing but the B60's in stock, so that is great information for me.

whats the difference between the Bs i think mine is a B70 got it from amazon

B60's are rootable, Some B70 with the serial number lower then B70KAS170XXX can be rooted anything above that, cant.

B60 was the last batch that was guaranteed to be rootable. Some of the B70s were, but it's a lottery. B80's onwards are unrootable currently.
Anything B50+ the manufacturing issues of early units were long since sorted, so B60 is the sweet-spot if you wish....

But now, newegg has the 16gb with dock for only 399.. might take a chance of on the lottery with that deal. Man decisions, decisions... get a rootable B60 with no dock or take the chance of not getting a rootable one and getting a free dock.

i say pull the trigger..used mine foe about 1 month + now, haven't really seen a need to root it...i think u're good even if u get a non rootable one..

Get it with the dock, they're ~$150 less than when I bought mine two months ago. You can basically consider it a free dock, at that price. You can use the keyboard with the TF2 when it comes out. Get used to it, love it, and maybe you won't need a TF2 (though Ice Cream Sandwich will be plenty tempting if the TF2 ships with it.)
I think my SN is like 10 numbers lower than the new bootloader cutoff, but I still haven't rooted. I haven't found any of the 3 main ROMs that would do enough above and beyond stock to make me want to.

Well I have pulled the trigger from Newegg, but not been able to root is deal breaker for me since I can't update the kernel to gain access to CIFS, Cisco VPN Client or other kernel enhancement.

Buy it from best buy and get their buy back plan. So when tf2 comes you can exchange it, only downside is you will get 250 back...

I would wait till November or December. The t2, when it comes out will be a beast, but if cannot be rooted, I am not going to get it. There will be more tablet selections and cheaper prices..a few weeks waiting will save headaches and money later.

I've been saying on here for months. I first heard about the transformer a year before asus debuted it. The rumor was asus was coming out with a tablet that also acts as a notebook. And it was coming out soon. That soon turned out to be a year.
I dont understand why people think the tf2 is just right around the corner. Nvidia said they were coming out with tegra 3 at end of october. Were going to believe asus engineers can incorporate the tegra 3 into their device and stamp out the bugs to make it usable in a couple days and ship in volume?
For those waiting for the tf2, keep waiting if you want. You are basing your belief on unconfirmed rumors. You also also believe in unconfirmed reports of aliens and big foot?

Where can I see if my new transformer is b60 or b70 or b80 ??

I root mine to use Titanium Backup , Add Free, Voodoo sound and a app that creates a larger cache for the SD card. I can unroot to install a update and re-root in just a few min. using the Linux CD method. otherwise it's mostly stock until I want to do something more

Asus has some coherence problems with information management. XDA has coherent whine.

From twitter this time: https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/status/164522714994974721
Hopefully they have made up their mind this time. Someone start the two-week countdown
Asus seems to have a problem deciding on when to release the real release-date and for how long it should continue to release prank-dates. The real release of the real release-date for the real release of ICS may or may not be right around the courner.
In the meantime, we could replace most of the world's nuclear powerstations with the whine contained in this very XDA thread. The power of both should more or less even out.
Good times.

Thanks for the update. I was waiting for an updated official source.
Too bad they can't just name a date. End all speculation. 'Mid february' is close but I want it less vague

I'm using a GNex since its release and I can tell you this: you'll be stunned. Not so much from the interface (which is very close to HC) but from the overall smoothness. I eagerly wanna try paulburtons ICS port, but I gave my TF away to a friend for 2 weeks

Yeah, I have ICS on my Nexus S, and I'm super excited to get it on my TF101. Most of the basic interface ideas come from Honeycomb, but very refined and improved. And yes, much better speed.

Just got ics alpha on my epic 4g.
After a day of playing with it, if anyone asks 'is it worth it to wait' you don't deserve it.
Wow. All i can say, my phone is giving my tf a run for its money now..

Someone knows if it will be worldwide or just like america/asia?

I think they'll roll out the update region by region to reduce server load (as they did with all the previous updates). But it should release globally within a few days.

You all know that mid Feb is going to be Valentines day. So better cancel those dates you got...and be prepared to wine and dine your TF101 instead that night!

We are slowly getting there. Can't wait to see the revolver version.

I just hope the TF101 ICS upgrade does not have all of the issues that the TF201 upgrade. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer or anything. I just ordered my TF101 from Amazon last night after struggling with the 101 versus 201 decision. In the end it came down to the issue of the Wifi possible not working.

Well, although I finally got ICS TW to run on my WW TF101, I'd look forward to the prospect of the 101G version - people would derive 3G modules from it and I can test my dongle again to see if it works.
