However it's not clear if it will be only a wifi version or not{indications are that it will be launched with wifi version only}
Update:- It seems like it has been pushed to Mayy release

Good news. But, is it going to be the thinner version of the 8.9/10.1 or the fatter version that is getting released in UK ?

I think in CTIA, they showed a fatter version of 8.9 for demo purposes with Touchwiz 4. If its the thinner version coming to India April mid,thats surely great news

At CTIA, Samsung said that the 10.1 model will be available at June 8th, hard to be earlier.

Actually i am looking for the 8.9 & as reports are suggesting it will be the newly announced ultrathin 8.9 tablet.
But if i am correct that june date is of US launch for 10.1 & around summer for 8.9.
Samsung generally launches their products first over here.Samsung Galaxy S,Galaxy Tab,upcuming SGS 2{launching in April over here} all were launched in India at the earliest.

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to arrive in Q1 2011 on Samsung Galaxy Tab

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to arrive in Q1 2011 on Samsung Galaxy Tab

According to a tweet released by SamFirmware a few days ago, it seems that Samsung Galaxy Tab will receive the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update at the end of Q1 (1st quarter) 2011. We are not sure if this is true or not but according to them this news is “based on FW and insider news”.
We all know that Android 2.3 is already getting tested on different devices such as the new PlayStation Phone and Google accidentally released a video showing how the new android OS works. And if we take into account the fact that carriers still have to update their mobile devices to Android 2.2, it makes sense to wait a bit until everyone is on the same OS.
I am sure that Android 2.3 will arrive soon also based also on the fact that Google’s CEO and Chairman of the Board, Eric Schmidt, confirmed at the Web 2.0 Summit that Gingerbread will be launched “in the next few weeks”.
We attached bellow a few videos from Google and from the leaked PSPhone which gives you an insight on how the new update performs/looks like. Do you think there will a lot of improvements compared to 2.2? Will this update be fully optimised to work on the Samsung Galaxy Tab? We will have to wait and see​
thank you for the information this is good news
Hope the browser on the tab will default to desktop mode

The reason ot doesnt is because so many websites are Android friendly/have Android only features. You can get other browsers that perform as well/better that have desktop mode.

Given that 2.3 still isn't out for any platform yet in a final state, and the usual length of time it takes for OEMs to release a customised firmware for any platform (how many phones have 2.2 that were "promised" it?), I'll be amazed if it turns up by the end of March.
Here's hoping though.
2.3 is a lot more modular than older revisions were. In theory it should take less time and effort to roll out than 2.2 did.

An option so it at least remembers that youve set it to desktop version would be appreciated, then those that want to keep the mobile versions are unaffected whilst those who want a full web experience dont have to change their useragent everytime they load their browser.

Well, the Gingerbread-equipped Google Nexus S phone is basically a slightly improved Samsung S, so hopefully APKs and other hacked ROM bits will soon start becoming available for the Tab too
Firmware dumps are already available (on this very forum), but of course they are not usable as-is. Still, it won't take long to see some results. The Gingerbread source code will be available later this month via AOSP, in the meantime the SDK can be studied via the emulator.

i would also be interested to know whether the galaxy tab will receive the honeycomb update to.that updatewill support tablet devices, but samsung are awful at updating their devices, they want pepe to upgrade to new hardware,I suspect that they are going to release galaxy tab 2!
good stuff, cant wait!
The biggest question is: will the VOIP module be crippled?
I wouldnt keep my hopes up until end of june that is. I really doubt we will get 2.3 before summer, seeing all those years how slow updates are by all companies. Just my 2 cents.
Sadly, most this info is no good to US stuff. It's all when the carrier releases it.

Yea, that may be the case so we dont know the for sure date, but with this news we know we should be getting it anyway.
I hope that will fix the problem with Exchange email not being able to display HTML emails. I spent several hours on the phone with Samsung this week and they determined they couldn't fix the problem but they "hoped" an upgrade to 2.3 would.
This issue has something to do with SSL security. HTML emails do come in for things like Gmail and Hotmail but with some exchanges, the emails come in as plain text.
Paul.
So there's now a half working port for the SGS.
Wonder if the tab will get the same love? I'm considering switching to an iPad + SGS to get the best of both worlds,simply because i'm underwhelmed by the dev support of the Tab.

Seems a strange thing to say! Is there any "dev support" for the iPad? Or are you really talking about "tablet specific" applications?

Samsung track record in India is very good,you can more or less be sure for April Launch for SGS 2 in India.
i dont doubt that it will be released in april in india. i just said it basically confirms that all the rest of us will indeed need to wait till may
whuat!!!... how come it gets launched first in India

Dont know for sure, but my guess would be they will be getting the Tegra version while the UK / US waits for Exynos.
Yaay...time to start saving... am assuming it will launch towards Apr end...good thing this news popped up. I got so impatient I nearly sold myself on the galaxy s...
Only thing is price will be around 35 k probably and then drop to around 32 k within fifteen days...:-(

"In the coming month" means April 30th 11:59:59 pm.
Awesome news. Hope it comes to the UK soon after. Am going to get rid of my IP4 for this bad boy! I don't need too many iOS devices in my life
We haven't been told if it's coming to Orange however, but were always told really late just before launches
Samsung Mobile Spain has confirmed on Twitter that SGSII will have an Exynos in spain and I have read today that SGSII will have an Exynos in France too. So we can think that all european countries will have Exynos.
Maybe the Tegra 2 version is for some minors markets like Russia.

Russia? Maybe... but Russia isn't small market. There are also many rich people and luxury lovers.
I don't want to predict anything, but Tegra might go to Latin America, Africa, middle east and some Asian areas.
I'm really hoping the US will get a Tegra 2 version fairly soon.

i have a hunch the Exynos will be more widely available than the "nvidia" one
there is a problem all the time with ATI / Nvidia chipsets, they always gets forgotten after a while (no drivers updates or available to the public)
so the Exynos will the the chefs choice, as we'll have the open source to keep building on them
It should have been Nvidia all the way,,reports are cuming that Europe will get SGS 2 with Samsung own Orion processor & Asia region getting SGS 2 with Nvidia
I am too waiting for the Launch of Galaxy S II in INDIA. Hope Samsung India will get it soon...
Add an 's' and the meaning is quite different. 'In the coming months' makes much more sense than 'In the coming month'. That would also give them at least 2 or 3 months. 'In the coming month' just sounds strange and is super ambiguous.

European availability

I asked my local Samsung distributor on Facebook about availability and got a strange answer yesterday. They said it has been delayed because of Android software problems and should be here by end of July.
This sounds just like the rumour that i read about a week ago. I don't know what to think now. Does anyone have any information about this?
Only what you know - I have heard August as they ready 3.1 to ship with the device.
I picked up up a limited edition 10.1 on ebay for a reasonable price, and just got the upgrade to 3.1 so all's well on them here in the UK.
Perhaps see if you can get one from there if you can't wait...
I want a 3G tablet, so the LE is not a option, i already have a WIFI only Xoom for home use. Only thing that's holding me back from buying a Xoom 3G is the fact that the European Xoom's are not Google experience devices and don't get updates from Google.
So my only option for now is 10.1V, but I wonder if the 10.1V will get updates at all?
I don't understand how there can be a software problem. My Xoom runs on 3.1 for over a month now, also the GT10.1LE got the update and the GT10.1 was already released with 3.1 in US. And if i remember correctly then this rumor about software problems with Android 3.1 got already a response from Google and they said there is no such problems. So i just don't get it, how can Samsung make so much confusion...

Found this link on Samsung Poland Facebook page Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Poland at the end of June (Google translate)
In Poland there is now Samsung Mobile L!VE (http://www.samsungmobilelive.pl/o-sml.html).
I have already visited one stand and today I plan to see one more.
1. I have been told to expect it in the shops by the end of current month.
2. All specs on the stands list GT 10.1 with dual core 1,2 Ghz CPU (will try to take some photos 2day).
With recent pull back from 1,2 Ghz by Vodafone to 1,0 Ghz I really do not know what to think... especially that these stands are made by Samsung not some 3rd party company like Vodafone or independent distributor.

If you can, please ask if they have heard about the delay's because of Android software problems.
Vodafone changing the specs doesn't mean anything, it can be that they just released the information too early. This happened with Android 3.1 also, Adobe wrote in Android Market Flash update description that Android 3.1 is needed and this information was removed very fast and everything was denied until Google officially announced 3.1.
I found now one dealer in Germany that lists a release date. It is Conrad and they say on their webpage 4th of July 2011 for the 3G model. Let's see if that's true.
H.
I forgot the link: http://www.conrad.de/ce/ProductDeta...productcode=877127&zanpid=1514577257979813888
And the white 10.1 - june 30
http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/...hite-mit-Multi-Touch-Display/0403040&ref=list
And the black and white 8.9 - Juli 15
http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/...lack-mit-Multi-Touch-Display/0403040&ref=list
I don't have experience with Conrad. Are their expected delivery dates usually correct?

im not too sure how good my polish is but does that say that it has a 3.2mp camera and supports full hd? im quiet sure the 10.1 only supports 720p. so may be those specs are not 100%. thats to galtom for the pics thou. ne more info?
So, first release for Europe will be the 3G model?
Any news when the wifi only will be available?
That is exactly what it says.
Guys at the stand do not know anything about it as they do not really work for Samsung.
Basically there is a GREAT, BIG MESS around and with this tablet crated by Samsung . It is so big that now looks like even Samsung itself is not 100% sure what is coming out of his production lines.
If you ask Samsung through facebook or its websites in different countries you will get a lot of different answers but what seems to certain is:
all GT10.1 will run 1ghz tegra 2 soc
wifi will not have microsd
3g will have it
it should reach shops with android 3.1
touchwiz ux looks very good and works very good - for me it is actually more convinient and user friendly that google UI.

To be completly honest I have not asked as it is not the one I would buy :-(.
I shuold be later on 2day at another stand to compare unit model but do not know how reliable are infos given there.
As you see CPU shows 1,2 Ghz.... so I'd rather wait for something more official.
I just can not believe Samsung goes on (sill) making more mess, creating confusion and disinformation in regard of its tablet.
This is the first time I have seen official Samsung marketing showing 1.2Ghz... interesting
Have missed other stand 2day - sorry. And since it is a big holiday 2morrow in PL (not usual Sunday) I will not be able to get there 2morrow (it is not me but everything is essentially closed up) :-(.
Get back to you on this on Monday.

Bada 2.0 launch in November

Yeah I am also afraid that it`s just another empty statement. I mean Samsung wanted to release Bada in September, then it was October and now November...
I got today a Samsung Wave 2 device, it has bad 1.2 (which is quite disappointing)
so, is that mean that I would be able to update my OS to bada 2.0 in a few weeks?

Maybe yes maybe not, all depends if Samsung can finish the development until this or next month. You could already update to the latest Bada 2.0 Beta for the S8530 via Flash but there is only a stable Beta for S8500 so far (been using it since it came out, not one crash til this day). I would recommend you wait til final version.
and another question,
Are all apps that work on bada 1.2 would work on bada 2.0 too?

No. Not all apps that work in bada 1.2 work in bada 2.0 beta.
Hopefully all may work in the final and official release of bada 2.0.
But as of now, just few work, and others not.

Bada 2.0 is ready for Europe. Only Samsung is waiting with updates. Reason Wave 3?

Check this out. It only accounts for turkey but it wouldn`t surprise me if Samsung would release Bada 2.0 in 2012 and not in december 2011 as promised. Even if Samsung Italia said a week ago or so that Bada 2.0 will be released in december 2011. For me this all just takes too long. I just hope that the devs will have success with Android port and if not I`m buying an Galaxy S II

Yes profit is of course important but I think it`s even more important for a company to keep the customers satisfied and that`s what Samsung doesn`t do with Bada in my opinion. Bada is a good OS but to keep the customers waiting for a new version for a whole year and then delay it again is just wrong in my opinion (especially when the new version is already finished) and because of this a lot of people feel betrayed and now a lot of people will just switch to Android because of this. But that`s just my opinion on this topic.
We have to wait more...
I'm expecting a new announcement from Samsung....
''''Bada 2 update is cancelled for wave devices but in 10 years we will update all bada phones to Bada 3, believe us !, we promise !'''

So, what is the i9800?

What we know about it :
- It most probably exists :
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-gt-i9800-just-got-wi-fi-certification-wait-what/
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/05/01/this-is-the-galaxy-siii/
- The certificate date is April 20. The i9300 was certified in late January
- The model number suggests that it's an extremely high-end device
- It's not a Note nor a tablet
That's all. Is Samsung going to release a device better than the S III in the coming months?

The i9500 is a Tizen phone based on some user agent strings, I don't know about the i9800. It's supposed to get intel cpu.
I thought it was the name for the S4 variant for US markets.
I would make a guess at it being either a Tizen based phone or the next Nexus.

They are supposed to make a WP Tango version. This could be it.

This is what I was thinking too.
I think its way too early for a tizen device,

I'm not quite sure it's a Windows Phone because well here's the 3 WP7 from Samsung
I937
I917
I677
Every time I see Samsung's designated code for Android handsets, they go for the 4 digit pattern, for international release of course. It can be the US version but at this point, every one is either still digging information about GS3 or busy making HOX vs GS3 threads.
most likely it will be the sgs4 come calling early or the next nexus
i supposed that is the variant for USA Market
Nah its the next Nexus phone for sure.
As rumors says jelly beans will be launched in q3 maybe its nexus device featuring 5.0 jelly bean. just a guess

I'd rather see a high-end tizen based phone to give the OS a fighting chance. The rumored i9500 with a 800x480 screen does not sound too promising.

Samsung use 9xxx series for high end droid phones like sgs(9000), sgsl(9003), sgs2(9100), sgr(9103), so i think 9800 is probably a nexus one

From what I've quickly gathered, based on Samsung's pattern, I think this is a phone that is either similar to the Galaxy S line, or indeed a Galaxy S phone.
Samsung phones for carrier-specific don't resemble the i9*00 coding pattern. And this includes most of their WP phones.
Galaxy S: i9000
Vibrant: t959
Captivate: i897
Facinate: sch-i500
Epic 4G: sph-d700
Galaxy S II: i9100
AT&T S II: i777
T-Mo S II: t989
Epic 4G Touch: sph-d710
Galaxy S III: i9300
And the others, like their Nexus and region variants, have a pattern of keeping the i9*00 and changing the 00 with some numbers, or/and adding a letter after it.
Nexus S: i9020
Galaxy Nexus: i9250
Galaxy S/Nexus S/Galaxy S II variants: i9003, i9000M, i9000B, i9023, i9100M, i9100G, i9100T, etc.

Android 4.1 Jellybean? The Android 4.x versions are food types. Most likely not 5.0

So to summarize the informative posts above: No one knows WTF the i9800 is.
