Is this some new update for the device?
Check this video from Samsung:
It's the official announcement of JB and all the new features. They called the enhancements they made to the OG Note "Premium Suite" also. Everything shown is in the German ROM some of us have been using. The fact this was posted to YouTube today means the official roll-out is close.
They've also created a micro-site for it...

What's in that video is new and was posted on YouTube today. This is the first mention of "Premium Suite" and for any detail provided publicly of what's actually in the Note's JB update.
Yes I have already highlighted that in my first post.
The second mention was a reply to your post that they have create a new microsite.
What they are essentially doing is rebranding Note and re launching it in a sorts with the New JB update to push it sales even more. The positive about the same is that is we may get upgraded to 4.2 in future

Also if you go on Sammobile you will find there are whole host of tablets which have received new updates so samsung is on a kind of upgrade spree
More details...

Now there's even more for us to moan about having to wait for..
Omg...this is so cool...
I am so desperate for this update now...
My wife thinks, i am infatuated to this tablet... she's so wrong.. this is actually pure LOVE!

The shipping ROM didn't support exFAT so all the original marketing materials said 32GB. Updates changed that and 64GB is now supported. It's supported in the German ROM some of us have been using.
The video is uploaded on an old existing website and hence the confusion on specs but its shamefull how a big company like Samsung does not pay attention to small things like this
I'm starting to think this was a pre - black friday announcement to get the masses hyped. Now, if it pushes out in the next 3 days, I could be wrong'

I think you guys give Samsung far too much credit for premeditation. Between all the different regions and different groups involved in a single product their lucky to get stuff out the door at all. And 2/3 of their revenue is outside the U.S. where Black Friday is meaningless. I do think that the release of JB marketing and support materials means we're getting close though. Keep in mind with all the N8020 ROMs that were just leaked I'd imagine that product is going to be released shortly only on JB and those marketing materials are necessary to support it.

Where did you get that information?
Curious too. What does "soon" mean?
Android Authority posted it here. Not sure if Android Authority really have "authoritative" sources as I don't see any official announcement from Samsung.
I guess "soon" is a little too optimistic. I guess we have to wait a few months until we'll see the ICS on the Note. The only thing that we know for sure is that both the Note and the SGS2 will receive ICS, as Samsung declared... officially.
I have read a news that Samsung have confirmed this via their official twitter page from Italy...
Kiss my Tab!
Also, newspapers in Norway are quoting official Samsung resources saying this...

I remember reading the update will be 2nd quarter next year...

It should be obvious that the Galaxy Note will get ISC update. This is only logical and you do not need any official confirmation to know it would get the update/upgrade. I think the question is when? I'm surprised that alot of us bother ourselves about this obvious fact.
thats a bad news, while in six months i will have a other phone.. hope to get a update in the next two max. three months.

You speak about obvious facts, but I haven't seen an official Samsung "fact" anywhere.
I just see rumors everywhere, repeated by various blogs that read each-other. (and need some traffic)
There has been (as it seems, but also not confirmed, just a rumor) a statement from Samsung Italy on an (not official) Italian blog, and this blog has revised its message since then.
Sure, I would like to have ICS on my Note, but I don't get my hopes up.
And I don't understand why everyone speaks about "facts" while there is no fact to be found.
It a fact when there is an Official Statement from Samsung on a Samsung operated website.
And I also want that to appear. But it hasn't.
(and my personal guess is that ICS will NOT come on this Note, but on the next, but I hope I am wrong)

Are they quoting a statement that can be read on an official Samsung website or press release? Or are they just repeating the rumors that appeared on some blogs??
Maybe you find me annoying that I question this ICS on our beloved Note, but I really want an Official statement...
During the official presentation of Galaxy Note for the Italian market Samsung (Italia) has confirmed in an interview with Telefonino.net that the Note will have ICS in 2012 for sure.
However they didn't say when (could be in January as well as in December...).

The most important benefit will be the ability to run tablet apps ie apps optimized for tablet resolutions. Ics has some other nice things too - Data monitoring, hardware acceleration, offline google mail searching, and etc etc

ICS has native pen support.
ICS uses 1280x800 as desired resolution..
what makes you think the Note won't get it ?
hopefully when ICS is released and we see some Note kernel source
(I don't have my note yet, so haven't started looking)
we can start to port it across, lets see if we can beat samsung
i hope so, it would be a great thing to see it as soon as possible..

I want to troll hard to samsung because of ICS. They lost their best customer. 8-10 people brought samsung android devices because of me.
I will get a xiaomi mione or never android again. Microsoft releasing updates regulary. Stupid apple too.
And look gingerbread. Samsung cutted some properties from froyo to release gingerbread too. GPU drivers just sucks on gingerbread. There is no daily briefing now. Ram is smaller. Radio is mono. Why?
Now wifi drops problems (phone fc fixed new). Etc etc..
Now I can't make my phone working because of samsung. Cyanogenmod has small bugs which I need for now. Now what will I do with my powersgx540? I want to swear hard to samsung!
Why stupid xperias (even more and more and more and most bloated phones in market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) gets ics?
If samsung was a man, so they must release a vanilla ics to their flagship phone! Just for respect to 20 million users!
AM I NEED TO BE MORE RICH THAN APPLE FANBOYS FOR USING LATEST ANDROID?
I´ve postet on Samsungs G+ Page ...
Here you can see what a few Nerds can do in a few weeks! This was my last Samsung Device!!!

This would be nice, as 4.0 is starting to feel kind of dated after using 4.2 on the Nexus 10. I still love my 7.7 and think it's still the best 7" yet (price notwithstanding), but an OS update that isn't buggy as hell (apologies to devs working on the 7.7) would be a new lease on life.

Other people quoting back to the same potentially wrong source is not a confirmation......it's just noise.

What i remember the last 4.1 jb is 4.1.2 b4 they move to 4.2
via Galaxy Tab 7.7
As noted in the related thread, I'll believe it when I see it on my tab
As noted in the related thread about updates to the 7.7, I'll still believe it when I see it running on my i815. Until then it's just rumor and a possible source of frustration (for me) because I have seen and used JB (on a Nexus 7 that I formerly owned) and enjoyed the goodness that was rolled up in same.
I really want to hope this news is true and that we'll all get it eventually, but eventually may be a long time off in the future and if so, well, I'm not sure I have the patience.
Not so certain. And here's why:

Much as I am hoping for the best, I am not so sure this is the news we are all waiting for.
I am an expatriate living in Thailand. My partner is Thai and he's reasonably technical. He owns a Galaxy S3 and an 8.9" tablet. I showed him that status table from the web page that you are speculating about. I did not show him the Google translation that you are pinning your hopes on. But I asked him what the status for the 7.7 means.
He said that the wording was poorly chosen and could be interpreted many ways. In other words, a fluent Thai reader could not look at that status message and walk away with certainty about Samsung's plans. It could mean anything from "confirmed" to "to be confirmed." (The latter possibly meaning that Samsung HQ has not yet determined a decision.)
We can tell you that Thailand users did receive an OTA update for the Galaxy S3 in the past couple of weeks. So the date for that product, stated in the Thai Buddhist calendar system, is correct.
Great news !!

The thing is, even if the rumor turns out to be true, Samsung really dropped the ball on updating this device, for legal reasons or otherwise - doesn't matter.
It would have to be the latest and greatest version of jellybean for me to even consider upgrading.
Where Samsung failed, the development community stepped up and have offered superior alternatives to what Samsung is bringing to the table.
Or hasn't to be more precise.
This is a terrific tablet and Samsung has failed epically to capitalize on its potential as a higher quality device in a sea of average tablets. And they feed this mediocrity by saturating the market with 50 versions of the same plastic garbage they are so well known for producing.

I am checking my new note 2014 edition for software update (kitkat 4.4) but it says there is no new updates available, while it currently runs jelly bean 4.3.
I got the Kitkat update already in my note 3, I live in Egypt
Any advice please?
Just make like me! Update manually for yourself.
Go there for example: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Download your firmware and follow the instructions to flash it.
I have my Note 10.1 2014 with official 4.4.2 with this method.

Not really, my stock p605 4.4.2's battery life is running the same or even better than stock 4.3. Also my Note2 LTE running OmniROM 4.4.4 also has excellent battery life, so your statement about kitkat will kill battery life is not true.

I agree with cmit37 - what is Samsung up to? Been seeing messages that it is coming any day since begin of the year - now late July and still no KitKat
Considering 4.3 works fine with same performance and sd card writes work, seems no KitKat update is a good thing. I'm staying on 4.3

Their update policy is 5Hi7 and I am now looking very carefully at ditching both Samsung Tablet & Phone for an Ipad & Iphone, because of this. It's fecking naff.

I don't think they will release any compact soon. HTC won't, Samsung did not release its s6 mini version, they might in some close future, but that future ain't looking bright for any compact phone. 5.0'' is a minimum for screen size these days, tho im having hard time to face it. Hope im wrong about Sony, as there are folks that are interested for phones sub 5''...

That is what I thought, the phone is not that old and it still has really good specs for the current market. Regarding the link you posted, if you click on the "Buy" button, it doesn't work, dead, at least for me. I am not sure what Sony has planned for their mobile market. I fear with the discontinued Z3C and the modest update for the new Z3+, they are either working on something grand, or slowly killing it off.

With all due respect and I don't mean it offensive at all, but I think that's total bs. If you look at the Xperia Z it came out more than 2 years ago and it received or will receive Android 5.0. So I think we're good for a while!
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
I think more it means : They dont produce it anymore. even for the Z2 the Production stopped 8 Month after the release (And its still in some Shops) as far i can remember some Posts on German Forums.
The complete Z-Line was or will be updated to Android 5.x. They will continue to Update...or the 5.x Update was the last for all Z,1,2,3 Modells.
Who knows, well i'm optimistic..and it wasnt the last Update.
Well the Z3+ gives and takes -- gives a waterproof USB port so that silly magnetic port can go away. And it takes away some battery capacity, which suggests consumers are more interested in a thinner device than better battery life. Bleh. Thankfully Sony did not jump on the pointless quad-HD bandwagon.
