Google has scheduled a press conference for some new stuff on Tuesday this week. It's generally expected to be mainly about Chrome, ChromeOS, the Chrome App Store and possibly a Google branded ChromeOS netbook. But who knows, maybe they'll slip some tasty Gingerbread in there too.

You are talking at least March before we see anything official for the Tab. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Unless we start seeing some custom roms

If the "Nexus S" really is just a slightly modified Galaxy S, we could be seeing some pretty functional ROM leaks for the SGS and SGT in the coming weeks.
Any way you slice it this time it will be Samsung first to the new OS party, not last like it was with the Galaxy S line.

It might be irrelevant but on the last update for the dolphin hd browser they included a fix for a UI compatibility issue with Android 2.3.

Looks like Google will release 2.3 soon. But Samsung may take its own time to mould it according to galaxy tab.

Ask Mr. Samsung. Could be almost the same time 2.3 is released to AOSP, could be weeks/months later, possibly never given Samsungs past history. I wouldn't expect it any sooner than at least a month after 2.3 is released for the N1 & the Devs as Samsung will need to customise it.

Android 3.0 and Motorola XOOM

I don't know about you, but i find this kind of weird.
Nobody at Google says anything about Android 3.0.
CES 2011 comes and Motorola shows up with a tablet which only runs a bunch of hypothetical movies about the supposed Android 3.0 experience. They say they'll start shipping it on the 14th of February.
Doesn't it seem odd that with only a month to go they don't have at least a beta version to show at CES, just a bunch of videos and they plan to start shipping it a month from now?
Am i missing something here? I remember the Android 2.2 update for the Galaxy S as an example. They announced the SDK in May and many only got the update in november. So it took 5-6 months JUST to make an existing system work for the Galaxy S, not invent it. And now they are a month away from shipping a tablet with a stable version and they just have some videos..

They did a live demo

Sweet thanks for that. Thats the best video so far. All most all of them I've found are blurry cams of the demos.

Dont forget to watch the live stream today from the Google event.

Google still using xoom as demo

Went by Googles "Village" at SXSW. In one location they had ASUS Transformer Primes as the demo tablet (w/ the Verizon Galaxy Nexus as the demo phone).
but in the other location ("the Maps house") they had the WIFI Xoom upgraded to ICS (same build) demoing google maps. FWIW, they also had the samsung chromebooks as demos as well.

It's nice to see that the Xoom continues to feature in Google's plans.

Yeah it's a glad but, you know it was more amazing to see Google using Xoom for their demo BEFORE they bought Motorola.
Now that Motorola belong to Google it seems normal to use such as a Xoom for demos, don't you guess so?

It's a nice machine, wouldn't be without mine! Now it's rooted and running ICS of course...

Guys check the update in the settings. I am currently receiving something. I had 3.2 before, so I think this is the ICS. =))
In addition, Market was updated to Google Play right before that.
upd: Nevermind. That was just a minor update. Sorry, I was too excited.

Hopefully you didn't ejaculate before you woke up from your dream.

Lol I feel like it was "almost here" in February because it was promised by the end of Q1.
Now I feel like the status is "should be here"

ill believe it when i see it.
Hurry up Samsung!

Well today, the tab 7 here in Korea got an update that was promised.

ICS will never be released for galaxy tab 10.1
I think that ICS will never be released for galaxy tab 10.1. The main difference between galaxy tab 10.1 and galaxy tab 2 10.1 (besides mechanics) is that it works with ICS. If the old tab will have ICS there is no reason to buy tab 2. Since they want to make profits from tab 2 they need to keep older OS on older tablet.

You got to be really clever for this, are you working for samsung's marketing department? That's a real scheme you got there!
In case you didn't get the sarcasm, samsung already announced ICS for the Tab 10.1...stop your nonesence for once...

yea its been confirmed and almost if not already complete for release so how can they not be releasing it?

^Yes....and the most suspicious thing is that there is not a single leak....curious, if I might say...

Im not in marketing deparment but im related to android development of tablet and cellular devices. And I strongly beleive that the same ICS version that runs on tab 2 should also fit older tab. So the only reason they delay it or postpone are marketing issues that im not aware of. Also the anouncement is hardly mentioned on the internet and the ICS should have been delivered along time ago.
Have you ever thought why Samsung released ginger breads for Galaxy S on all international versions, while TMobile vibrant version still runs Froyo?

Meh...
If we get a working camera driver out of it, not that big of a deal. We have several ICS options that kick ass and the only thing missing really is working cams

Any idea when US Note N8013 will get Jelly Bean???

I think samsung start rolling update for it based on sammobile.com news

talked to Samsung customer service the other day. They said there's no information about the update. They said they usually receive information about the update 2 weeks before the update rolls out. So it's more likely that we won't get it by the end of this year. Samsung is a liar. They said the update will be rolling out in Q4. What a bad lie!

I'm really hoping it comes through soon. I have 4.2 on my phone and I love it

Well the 8010 OTA is out which hardware wise is pretty identical. There should be roms available in Development within the next few days. Just check there.

After trying to get a straight answer out of anyone at Samsung USA I am not betting anytime soon. If it happens by the end of this year I will honestly be shocked.

After going through the new christmas advertisement, i have a feeling that the update will definately come on or before 25th dec.
I think samsung wants to cash on shopping time, and put in a new advertisement in front of ppl to get that feel good factor for this tablet.
I really don't think they have any other reason to hold this update back from 8013 users otherwise.

That advertisement is posted on the Samsung mobile facebook page. The one they use for international users. If you look at the Samsung Mobile USA facebook page they do not even mention the note 10.1 AT ALL. It is all S3 Note 2 and the tab 2 10.1 It is like the note 10.1 does not even exist.
You would think with all the tech sites that someone could get answer about the 8013 but nothing to be found.

good point. The 8013 and 8010 are basically identical hardware wise, but it seems the 8013 has so many issues, including slow updates and problems with getting palm rejection on ezpdf reader. Had i know all this, I would have definitely gotten the 8010.

So the question remains
So.... With all that has been said the question still remains. Where and when is the update? There was a time, just recently, that you could not turn on the tv without seeing a Note 10.1 ad a thousand times. Now it is only occasional. They have moved on to the note 2.
You would think that with all of the tech sites and tech people that someone would know somebody at Samsung that would have an answer.
Why so silent about the 8013?
Is it an issue with the apple suit?
Are we just spoiled and impatient because we were not first?
You would think someone could figure this out.

It's a great question. You would think that with the 4th iPad, TF 700 as closest competition in the US they would get it out asap. They've pushed their GS3 with JB on almost all carriers in US (correct me if i'm wrong), their Note 2 had JB when released and almost all got the new update with more multitasking, all that's left of their top 3 would be the GN 10.1.
As an earlier posted stated some misgivings about the 8010 and 8013, i thought they were identical in hardware. The only difference methought, was some of the applications that were on the Note 10.1. Part of the reason other countries got the JB update I thought was 1.) They had GN 10.1 released to them before the US, 2.) Had cellular support 3.) Beta test for any hiccups. I've never known Samsung to have huge issues with their updates (except on cellular which is more carrier related and the 1 incident that could essentially wipe your phone with a html link) but i thought maybe some of these carriers made a big stink BEFORE their contract with Samsung saying they wanted JB by [certain date]. I know if Samsung doesn't get it out by that date they get fined or charged per day - but this is all a guess on my part. I can see the new 8020 getting JB before it gets released, because it's newer and has LTE. All i can think is that sadly this time around their wifi didn't get the update 1st.
If there was someway i didn't have to change my csc and essentially do a complete wipe on my 8013, i would upgrade to another version of the JB. If all i have to do is Odin the pda file of the UK version then i'll do it - i am getting anxious as all of us, but i refuse to lose my data this time around (yes i know about TI, i just prefer not to have to do it).
Perhaps we should write to the leaders of XDA and see if THEY can get a response out of samsung and post it on their main page. That or androidcentral. Android central posted when germany was getting the "premium suite" upgrade that it was a slow roll out - which made it seem like it was hitting all the different countries/regions separately and over time. Technically i guess this is correct, but i'm wondering if they just repeated what was written elsewhere or from the PR which didn't explicitly say whether it was just for germany, etc. (Although then the UK received it, etc.)
What us Wifi users are waiting on is when the 8010/8013 suite will be released from us, and so far, thanks to the success of the GN2 and GS3, we are what seems to be one of he last of priorities.

Or you can just flash n8010 firmware via Odin on 8013 and you now have 8010 note

Does your data get wiped? It uses the same kernel i'm guessing?

It almost has to be a legal issue with Apple at this point. Portions of the trial are still ongoing so Its quite possible the Samsung lawyers are blocking anything that could fuel the fire, especially since Apple specifically moved to add the Note 10.1 and Android 4.1 to the lawsuit.

Sad that Verizon was faster on the s3 than Samsung was on their so called "flagship" product. Never thought that would happen either. At least I now have JB on something

Then why would Samsung continue to release updates to their US carrier partners such as Verizon with the gs3? The premium suite is essentially the same across the board with except of UI and how its implemented.
