The above rumors that Honeycomb was going to require a dual-core processor have been denied! Lots of tablet owners wrote all over the internet (and in our comments) that they are worried that the next Android OS won’t be available on Galaxy Tab. A few hours ago, Dan Morrill from Android Team denied the rumors through a tweet saying : “there’s no hard minimum for Honeycomb”.
So good news guys, don’t worry, enjoy your tee , coffee, sleep and wait for Honeycomb to be released so we can enjoy it!
http-://xxx.thegalaxytab.com/2011/01/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-might-not-receive-android-honeycomb-update/
Old, old, news! This wasn't reported a few hours ago - it was a few weeks ago! See here.
FYI, this doesn't confirm that the Tab *will* get Honeycomb from Samsung - only that it is almost certainly capable of running on Honeycomb.
Regards,

Old. Also, tea not tee.
I think the fact that a new Galaxy Tab 2 is coming soon pretty much puts a nail in the coffin for a official honeycomb update. Who uses official ROMS anyways though. XDA will have one.
It's always good to have an official update. It's always a good mine of useful driver updates, mini bugfixes etc.
It also prolongs the life of the device: it'll be sold for a longer time, so it'll sell more, which means more devices and more interest in the wild, better and wider array of accessories etc.

To get our hopes up, and then send them crashing to the ground. Especially now that Honeycomb 3.2 with support for 7 inch tabs is out...
I know... its probably to much to hope for 3.2 isn't it....

Why do we want an upgrade? I'm happy with Gingerbread. If I hated GB I'd sell my Tab and go get a HoneyComb tablet. Why the need to upgrade something that works?
I Agree

Seriously that has to be one of the MOST ridiculous comments I have ever seen on this site
I totally disagree, XDA is great for making our hardware live up to its promise, but, I looked at a 10.1 Tab and can honestly say that i prefer the capacitive buttons, and profile of my GTab 7. To each his own!

My answer to this would be about the same.

Well, even if you flash one of the Honeycomb ROMs from the dev forum, good news, you still have capacitive buttons and the profile of the GTab 7.

The thicker tab will hit Vodafone (spelling?) in the UK. A '4G' (HSPA+) version will come 'this year'.
It's ALL a little iffy.
I believe that in Europe it will be called the 10.1v ... and the thinner (better¿) one will just be the 10.1... the 10.1v is almost in preorder if I am correct

You can pre-order with Vodafone.NL :

It will be delivered "week 17" (April 25 onwards).

10.1v is indeed coming to European shops in few days. Seems like Vodafone wanted to be "first and exclusive: and they are the only ones that signed deal with Samsung at MWC. This means that they have to get this 10.1 in and prey to God to sell it which to me seems as an impossible task.
It can not compete with iPad 2, it can not compete with Transformer, it can not compete with Iconia a500. + because it is exclusive to Vodafone it will be pricey...
I am waiting for HSPA+ vet of new 10.1 SD card slot is a must with tablet... an why not others? Tavket has to be as light as possible, Super IPS screen is big +, battery is also very good.
I hope they will be fast.... as the things stand at the moment I am not that convinced that S1 (since it will have Tegra 2 inside???) is a good option but once it is introduced in flesh.... who knows.
I would prefer to buy 10.1 instead of being pulled towards S1 and wait even more

Agreed EXCEPT for the HSPA+. Besides it's thin-ness the main draw of the thin tab was it's price. It has to be competitive in price and on a competitive network for when it gets '4G'. So i'd say $500 for an unlocked LTE version would kill all competition.
And maybe a nice dock?
I am only planning on getting a wifi version .. but I really hope that there is something like the ipad2 cover that apple made... it is nice a sleek... I can live with it not turning off the screen but it makes feel more book-like and I think that that would be a great thing to have

Ditto. I doubt there will be an LTE version. I'm buying the wifi version. And if there isn't a smart cover-like thing I'm going to try to make one. And the book like feel is one of the things I love about my nook. I'm just worried that if Samsung does make a smart cover clone, Apple will say that they're copycats.

Again they would have hit a marketing and selling hot spot - and I do not think ppl. would care that they had it all the time but without an "i" bit.
So...
1. do not worry what Apple will say!
2. You can be sure that if GT 10.1 will sell in volume there will be a lot of companies tying to make a buck on accessories for it (Samsung included).
It's the thin version.

thanks, that display does look good against the ipad 2
It also looks like stock honeycomb with no Samsung ui on top of it.
Sent this message from my Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 stock!
Seeing as this is the first time the thin 10.1 has been in public with a working OS, it is probably still an unpolished version. There were a few times when it didn't seem that responsive (could be with the way the person was using it) but hopefully, whatever quirks, laginess etc is in the device can be ironed out by the time it is released publicly.
Damn ... I want it now

It's not the viewing angles, it's the lights that were reflected on it. Not a problem for me, just other people I feel bad for.

What..? What do you mean "It's not the viewing angles.. it's the lights...", I know that lol. The reflection of the lights has to do with the glossy screen. I am very curious to know if this model of the tab is even using the PLS screen~
Honeycomb seemed very smooth here. In videos of the Xoom this wasn't always the case.
That looks awesome.

The limited edition which was given out at IO does not come with Touch Wiz. That doesn't say the regular edition won't.
Hard to believe Samsung will be pushing out updates 2 weeks behind Google when they are 6 months+ behind on their older devices. Then again Samsung are all sales and no after care, if they do roll out Honeycomb 3.1 in 2 weeks it'll be back to normal for Ice Cream I'm sure when they are busy selling some other new product!

It's described as a limited edition, potentially because it looks to be running stock Android without the TouchWiz UI layer on top, and will be given away to the gathered crowd of 5,000 conference attendees.

This decision could get turned around... but with the Note 10.1 around the corner, will it really matter?
