Awesome!
This could get good. Please dont let it be a typo or mistake!
dont get your hopes up people, theres two big problems with the list (only included the list of tablets for this instance):
GALAXY Tab 7.0
GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
GALAXY Tab 8.9
GALAXY Tab 10.1
1. no mention of the GALAXY S, basically a phone version of the tablet. my view is, if they were going to officially release ICS for our tabs, why would they not for the Galaxy S.
2. no mention of the GALAXY Tab 7.7 - yet every other tablet in the range is listed. (minus the GALAXY Tab 2 range, which come with ICS).
in my opinion, someone over at Samsung Canada is probably getting a butt whooping for that typo, because im 80% sure im right in saying its a typo. (though i do hope that i am wrong!)
stimpz0r iz right, Galaxy Tab 7.0 is not GT-P1000, only new models will get ICS.
The Galaxy S already received a value pack that the Galaxy Tab didn't get. So, even though it is a phone-size version of the Tab, Samsung already has a history of not treating the two devices as siblings when it comes to software releases.
I don't think it's relevant that Galaxy S didn't make it in the list. In other news, who cares anymore? CM9 and AOKP are way more than any TouchWiz release will ever be. So why bother?
@OP: this was already posted, btw. Do a search next time or visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628084
Peace,

of course, it's not the P1000 Galaxy tab ...
Guys is MaxPayne3 working on our phone?
lol, it's first Max Payne.
btw, as you can see, in the store it shows it's compatible with P500.
but I'm sure it's really laggy and it's not worth buying it.
Not for our lg p500.
Its not laggy just install and try

hey hey Androiders!
I'm the happy new owner of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" tablet from T-Mobile, the SGH-T779. This is a nice wonderful upgrade from the Toshiba Thrive 10" I still have.. After learning about how horrible the Tegra 2 was, and seeing it for myself, I was rather surprised and yet, not at the same time.
All in all, I'm excited to see what comes of the Tab 2 in terms of ROMs and optimizations.. Currently looking like there's none specifically yet for the T-Mobile variant (or compatible) of Tab 2, so if I'm wrong, please let me know!

First off I'm new here and would like to say hello to everyone.
So recently I bought the Note 10.1 2014 and love everything about it. But I've been reading and I'm confused.
So I've noticed from the CES reports and other reports on the Web about the Note Pro line being released here soon. The Note Pro will be released in 12.2, 10.1 and 8.0 displays. With the Note Pro 10.1 you see the specs are the same as the Note 10.1 2014. And the only difference between the 10.1 and 12.1 is display sizes being 2.1 difference.
The Note 10.1 2014 was just released and I don't understand this. I thought buying the 10.1 2014 I was buying Samsung's top of the line tablet PLUS it was titled the 2014 edition but now we see the Note Pro 12.2, 10.1 and 8.0.
Will the 10.1 2014 be overlooked, discontinued, forgotten about, not recognized and support goes down hill? Will they do away with it? Was I screwed by Sammy?
How is this possible when the Note Pro and the Note 10.1 2014 have the same specs and the Note 10.1 2014 was released for 2014?
Is the Note 10.1 2014 basically a Note Pro 10.1? Because the Note Pro will be released in 12.2, 10.1 and 8.0. Basically Samsung will re box all the Note 10.1 2014's to new Note Pro boxes?
I'm wondering if I purchased wrong now ALTHOUGH the Note Pro and Note 10.1 2014 have the same specs.
Thanks and look forward to everyone's replies and thoughts. Please reply. Thanks
Here's Samsung's 2014 tablet line, the first of which was the N10.1-14.
1) Note 10.1 2014 Edition
2) Note 12
3) Galaxy TabPro 8.4
4) Galaxy TabPro 10.1
5) Galaxy TabPro 12
The TabPro 10.1 and TabPro 12 are "Note's" without S Pen and, with the exception of the former having 2GB of RAM, share identical specs with their Note brethren.
I have no idea what Samsung's going to do with Galaxy Tab 3 line or the Note 8 in terms of continued sales. I'm guessing the G-Tab 3's will soldier on with price cuts to appeal to the low-end. It wouldn't surprise me if sometime, maybe the second quarter, if Samsung announced a Note 8.4.
The N10.1-14 will receive 4.4 and the Magazine UX probably before the above new tablets are released or right after. The Note-series delivers Samsung's highest tablet margins. If you read their earnings preview they need to boost their margins badly. Hence the onslaught of premium tablets just announced. So if you don't need S Pen return your N10.1-14 and buy a G-TabPro 10.1 and save $100-150 (WAG). If you really wanted a larger screen return your N10.1-14 and get the N12 and pay $100-150 (WAG) more. Regardless, the N10.1-14 isn't going anywhere.

So my Note 10.1 2014 is not being replaced by a Note Pro 10.1? Basically your saying their only bringing out a Note 12.2 while also having the Note 10.1 2014? I guess they just released the Note 10.1 2014 ahead of time? Lol
Now talking about "Pro" series. Is this only what Tab is being called for example as you said TabPro?
Because what I thought I read was Samsung was releasing:
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2
Galaxy Note Pro 10.1
Galaxy Note Pro 8.0
Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2
Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1
Galaxy Tab Pro 8
So is the Note series not getting the "Pro" in the name (like above) and only the Tab series (like you listed above)?
I'm just really confused
BTW I use my S Pen a lot and love it.

So... is the Note 10.1 2014 going to from here on out or will it now be re branded as the Note Pro 10.1? Reason be is it has the same specs as the Note 12.2 basically and has the S Pen. BTW it is a 2014 edition. I mean you couldn't just bring out a new tablet for 2014 and wipe it aside for newer models.
Plus the tabs are being called the TabPro's so is the Note 10.1 2014 basically or will it also be known as the Note Pro 10.1? I'm thinking Samsung will probably just re box the Note 10.1 2014 with a box that says Note Pro 10.1 instead. Because basically same specs and S Pen. And again its the new 2014 model of the Note tablet and nothing really different.

To clarify all the confusion:
The Note 10.1 2014 will retain its name for now at least.
The Note 12.2 Pro is exactly the same as the Note 10.1 2014 aside from the new software and the increased size.
The Tab series now has a Pro lineup, seeing as how you have
-Tab 3 7.0, 8.0 and 10.1
Which are all midrange/low-end.
The Tab Pro series, clearly focused on the high end, are
-Tab Pro 8.4, 10.1 ad 12.2.
These all make up the new high-end tablet range from Samsung.
Two Notes, the 10.1 2014 and the 12.2 Pro, and three Tab Pros.

There will be soon:
Galaxy Note Pro 10.1 unveiled early
Edit: Yes, I realise this doesn't have the S-Pen, but it's near identical hardware specification (minus the S-Pen) and improved software software spec. (Kit-Kat and more business oriented apps) do set it apart from the Note 10.1.
Edit #2: This post is not an invitation to troll XDA Developers, please do not respond unless you have something meaningful or intelligent to contribute. Thank you.
That's the tab version omneity.
what I don't understand is why are there two versions? just have a note pro X size and be done with it. the galaxy tab series from what I can see is the same without the stylus? It's not like if you don't want to use it the stylus hinders the experience. it's horribly and unnecessarily confusing to the average consumer.
You know, when you think about it, they should/could have called the N10.1-14 the "Note 10.1 Pro" from the start. It's not like the tablets just announced weren't well under development when the N10.1-14 was announced in October.
Reasons I can think of for not:
1) They continued to push the OG N10.1 over the holidays with discounts and calling its successor "pro" might have dampened sales. It was featured at BB, the U.S'. largest electronics reseller in their Christmas marketing and advertising.
2) Introducing a device with "pro" attached could have fueled speculation before the holidays that what just happened might happen and dampen sales of Samsung's existing tablets, some of which are pretty dated and light on specs. Look at what happened with the Nexus 10 2 that never got announced. People held off purchasing the old one and didn't buy any brand of new tablet because rumors swore the Nexus 10 2 was imminent.
3) Is what the N10.1-14's named even matter? With yesterday's announcement why they released a device in 2013 named "2014 Edition" suddenly becomes clear. Since the G-Tab Pro 10.1 and Note 10.1 2014 Edition are as similar as the G-Tab Pro 12 and Note 12 Pro Samsung could change the N10.1-14's name to Note 10.1 Pro. I'm guessing the challenge is we all bought it under its original name and can't think of any manufacturer changing the name of a product already in people's hands. Support would be confusing also if an identical product was assigned two different names.
Regardless, based on all the new tablets including the N10.1-14 having their specs so meticulously aligned there would be zero reason for Samsung to release a "Note 10.1 Pro" that had any newer or better specs or features than the current N10.1-14 and the just announced tablets. Other than one out of five devices having a non-aligned name, Samsung's 2014 tablet line is the most coherent I've seen (until we find out what happens at the low end and to the N8 ). So I think we're all safe in our investments and Samsung's just got a naming convention issue on their hands until the "Pro 2" or "2015 Edition" series come out.

They have average consumer line (Tab) and more powerful one (Note, S Pen, more RAM, used to be more powerful processor). Pen requires special screen, it adds to the cost of device.

They actually have three tablet lines now...
1) Galaxy Tab - Entry level, value pricing.
2) Galaxy TabPro - Premium high-end specs, premium prices.
3) Galaxy Note - Focus on input and creation, highest priced Samsung tablets.

Yes , this seems to be the product line-up now: a lower-end basic tablet; a higher-specified tablet for the "professional" user; and the Note range with S-Pen input.
My take on this is rather than creating a 'budget' tablet to compete ate the lower-end of the market, they have created a new premium range in the Tab Pro range to allow sale price lessening of the lower specified (old generation?) Tabs. It makes sense given the mockery Apple exposed themselves to when then created the "budget" iPhone 5c. There has been a massive sales increase in tablets over the past few months, most of these have been at the lower end of the price market, Samsung, although doing very well in tablet sales, have probably lost sales due to the relatively high price of their Tab range. I've heard several people say they like the Samsung tablets, but feel they're a bit more than they want to pay (especially when the Samsung is surround by cheap Chinese clone tablets with low-res screens and 512k RAM). Many people's purchase choice is driven by price rather than by specification and brand reputation; after all a tablet's a tablet - right? Besides, tablet computers are cheap enough to be almost regarded as disposable items these days, so if I make the wrong purchasing decision then it's not a lot of money to lose.
