Samsung is holding an event tomorrow to show off the media hub and the US galaxy tabs.
However, the question is, will they announce when froyo will be be available?
BTW, the event starts at 6pm EST.

Hopefully, after tomorrow there will be a much wider selection. I haven't been brave enough to actually pony up to pay for anything yet but, I have been pretty impressed so far with the quality of the previews that I have watched..
Can't wait, I hope they confirm Froyo because the G2 is getting right out of the box, we should have gotten that too.

Is this on TV or on their website?

Basically, Galaxy Tab is hitting all major US carriers, wifi only version in the works. No news about phones at all.

That's too bad. Tab's and another mobile devices are worthless without 3g. You're basically left with a machine that you can only use to it's fullest potential at a Starbucks or at home.
I'm officially starting to get worried about the froyo update. Samsung has had two major press events in the past two weeks and haven't even mentioned a word about froyo. I'm starting to think only the European/Korean models will get froyo.
^^I believe Samsung never promised the US phones to have Froyo in sept, just the different forums members did. The Euro Galaxy S is scheduled to get Froyo, NO ONE said the US versions will be getting it in September

Dude, Samsung and TMO have both said that we're getting Froyo... chill the hell out.
Why did you guys think this press release would be about their phones? Of course, you were probably thinking they would mention it somewhere in the press, but in actuality it was mostly about their Tab.
Go to this link: http://phandroid.com/2010/08/31/samsung-mobile-experience-event-september-16th-whats-being-shown/
And read what it said. "Latest Android device and media hub."
Just saying. That's all.

Couldn't we just tether our phone and the tab? With mobile ap or any other tethering app? I would think if it doesn't work that way there would be an app or hack that could make it possible...

Yes, I am aware of that. I was giving a solution to the person I quoted. Not to mention that engadget is reporting that the 3g versions will most likely be sold on contract, possibly meaning you may need a data plan. I'm suggesting (if it is possible), wait, let the reviews from actual 3g users come in, and then by the wifi tab cheaper and off contract...

The OP didn't say we'll get Gingerbread in mid-May, he said Europe will get it in mid-May and we'll get it after them. That doesn't mean we'll get it in mid-May, or May at all.
Engadget phrased it better, though:
"The company has this morning released word that it intends to update its entire Galaxy S family line, starting with models in the UK and Nordic countries from the middle of this month. The rest of the globe, including North America, will follow suit "according to the regional plan."
Obviously, we have no idea what the "regional plan" is -- so there's no saying when we or any of the US carriers will actually see Gingerbread.
not to mention the last official word we had on froyo said november... got it in april...

CDMA plus Bing plus hardware differences. This'll be a fun wait.
As far as I remember, the samsung dev team tried to unify the devices under froyo a lot more than they were under eclair. For eclair they had a team for each phone, then for froyo they had one tam for all phones. I can't remember where I read it, but maybe that fact will speed updates.

You also have to take into account that most of the Galaxy S lineup consists of the i9000 series (GSM). Once Europe is updated, the i9000 series on AT&T will probably be next.
There hasn't been any word for the i500 timeline yet.
Gotta remember, the Galaxy S is the i9000 we just have a variant. It would be nice if we got it on the i500 but I seriously doubt it, especially since it just said galaxy s not the galaxy s line. Which means fascinate, epic, vibrant and captivate were not mentioned in the press release. In fact they went out of their way to even mention specific models. "GALAXY Ace/Gio/Fit/mini"
I guess I'm being pessimistic seeing how we were treated over Android 2.2
Well I read in the article on android central it said Galaxy S line, where the press release from Samsung said galaxy s.
Another thing to remember is its being released by Samsung, we will still have to wait for VZW to get there hands on it, and bloat the hell out of it, before they release it. And im sure this is on the back burner for them at this point so I dont see an ota being pushed out anytime soon.

Samsung puts everything together and sends it to Verizon. AFAIK, Verizon does nothing with putting the ROM itself together, just final testing.
this is XDA! once the Devs get their hands on a leak we will have a few roms before any official 2.3 comes out. Much like most of us had 2.2 WELL before the official came out!

While that may be true, since most of the US Galaxy S variants have some form of bloatware, wouldn't that mean carriers tell Samsung what extras to add before it's finished?

Maybe I am wrong, but verizon can dictate software under contract, but I don't think they can stop samsung from updating their products. If samsung programs it I think they would be none to happy if verizon refused to push the update.

How do you think it would be advantageous for them to do it during LTE upgrade?
Remember, many people will choose not to send in their Xooms.
Also, there's an existing infrastructure in place to handle the updates by MEID, over the air.
I'm not saying it won't happen your way, I'm just not able to think of any compelling reason to change the usual update method.
My only reason I think this, is based on installing the LTE modem, flashing the software, configuring it and testing it to make sure it works. I could be wrong but that's my train of thought. Otherwise I'd assume we would be seeing the update already just like the before. Remember wifi deployed alongside 3g last time. I am just making an assumption so if my thought process is off please let me know

Unfortunately, "In the coming weeks" in Google land means 1-2 months.

Froyo vs GB, what's different and new? From using the ASOP GB, I don't see anything difference from usage

If we get an official GB update then JT will likely be able to pull a lot of things from it to fix our issues on VGB/CM7/MIUI such as sensors, call audio, torch, ect... anything that doesn't work right or has issues, if it is fixed in an official release, can probably be fixed from the official release.
Problem is, anybody that has been around with this phone for a while is not even pretending to get their hopes up for an official release. If it ever comes (which is doubtful) then it likely won't be any time soon. Not saying there is no chance, but we willl all be pleasantly surprised if Samsung and Verizon actually released something when they said they would.
I've had this phone since the day it came out. I've followed the promises & rumors, most of which have been rumors that are spread as fact, quickly.
From what I've seen, whenever Samsung has talked about an update, it's because they've finished it and given it to Verizon for testing. Usually around the same time, someone on here or another site gets a leaked version (makes you wonder if they're leaked intentionally and we're used as beta testers). From what I understand, and I could be wrong, Froyo was rejected by Verizon a few times, delaying the update. I don't know if it was a problem with the software itself or the update package, or both. We all knew Froyo was coming because we already had earlier versions, I ran EB01 for quite awhile before ED01.
I don't have any reason to doubt we're getting GB. We've already seen a leaked version, EC09. I tried it and lost an SD card so I see why it wasn't "officially" released.
I could be wrong, but from past experience, if SamsungSSupport is saying they hope to have some news soon, I interpret it as they have given another GB version to Verizon that they hope to be or has been approved by Verizon. After the missed call issues, I expect Verizon to test a little more thorough this time.

Verizon rejected it because Samsung, the greedy jerks they are, wanted verizon to pay them a bunch of money for the "r&d" done to screw it up with touchwiz... if I remember right samsung was asking for way more than any other carriers usually do for updates and so verizon said no.

After the Froyo fiasco (anyone else contact their April fool?) and working 5+ years in a corporate multi-vendor environment, I find it impossible to pick sides in such situations. These inter-company hangups can usually be resolved via a quick call between executives; consumer demand has little influence in making such things happen.

Exactly. They don't care whether or not we want gingerbread, they have other phones that might make them more money to worry about.
Well, we know they are working on it as we've already seen a leaked version. Hope they release it soon.

The reason there is such a delay this time around has to deal with the fact google has removed the support from cdma devices officially. This means in order to supply updates, we have to wait for sprint. Currently Sprint is bitter about the who deal. We are the ones who will suffer in the long run.
Same for why the gnex for sprint isn't out quite yet.

The release was pulled from T-mobile and never existed for AT&T. So unless you are saying those are CDMA carriers as well, your theory makes no sense. All 3 device types currently are waiting for an ICS update. Google is surely working to make that happen. But Sprint isn't holding up the release (at least not yet) because it doesn't even exist. And Google removing CDMA from ASOP has no bearing on the speed at which they provide the update. The process is the same. The problem is the lack of understanding of why CDMA was pulled from ASOP and the sensationalist articles spewing incorrect information has probably confused you.
Tired of waiting..
I think Google takes too long to release an OTA!

I guess you work with stuff on a daily basis? This is a google phone, if you don't think GSM variants are not affected by google move to drop cdma support your mistaken. There is alot more that goes on behind the scenes the push code > compile > update. Countless documents, this need to get removed, shuffled and put back into order once again. Instead of google being about to push updates with the help of carriers, google and the nexus s is now fragmented. To ensure a proper release cycle it will take longer then expected. Pulling a phone from official support isn't like dropping your kids off at school.

Actually, Google didn't drop support for the CMDA variants except in ASOP. So there is no change in the way they rolled out updates. So you are saying they pulled the buggy release because they anticipated dropping CDMA months later? I guess the AT&T version didn't get the release in December because they were dropping CDMA support several months later? I feel like you are drawing conclusions that aren't even there.
