Samsung Galaxy Wifi 10.1 hits Amazon - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

http://amzn.com/B00519RWI8

it's listed as having android 3.0.1... I thought it was launching with 3.1 =[

BestBuy page says 3.1
I guess this thing really is going to come down to the last minute before all the facts are out.
Oh well if it releases on time we should have our answers by this time next week.
I really need to stop looking at these links. I want the 8.9 but so tempted to get the 10.1

the back cover doesn't look plastic

it was published on 5/4 and the facebook confirmation on 5/24:
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA/posts/10150181376246786
"Samsung Mobile USA in regards to 3.0 message.The original had 3.0 but now it will be with Android 3.1 - http://ow.ly/51E07
May 24 at 10:02am"

Somebody needs to leak the 3.1 lol..this 3.0.1 is way to buggy. Browser always freezes, keyboard and market force close, and it randomly just turns itself off.

I wonder if the price will actually be lower than the 499. I notice the price on the GT 7 went down on Amazon. For 399, I think I'd swoop in and get one so I can stop coming on XDA to read about it.

The technical spec on that amazon link is a joke, "Processor: 1 GHz Mobile AMD Duron" and "RAM: 2000 MB"

'Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.'
Hope that changes

30% off QuickOffice Code!

Sorry if someone has already posted it.
I emailed the dev, and asked them why we havent gotten the code yet.... they responded today.
She apologized for the email, and gave me the code
HD30
You have to buy it from www.quickoffice.com
Haven't tried it yet, but I will in a couple hours.
Feel free to save some money!!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Well that sucks. Will they honor the code retrospectively? I also thought that the 40% introductory offer would substitute for the 30% offer...
edit: disregard...
The code works. You just need to use it with the HD version...not just the pro.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Sweet! HD30[B\] worked for me! The app is on sale right now for 14.99 from 24.99, but its only for 24 hours. And when you apply the code it brings it down to 9.99! Excellent deal! You must hurry to receive it at this price. Kudos to the OP!
To the last poster, I don't know how you only payed 7.99, but please share.
*Yes, I purchased the HD version*

It's listed... scroll down at the following link:

But I do see if you go to the Pro HD screen while having the Xoom as your device.. it says it is not supported. I think they just need to update their website.
2 Questions for anyone that has used/bought this in the past...
1. Do future updates come for free (all future updates and version increases)?
2. Is it possible to use this license for non-Xoom devices? Meaning, can I use it on my android phone as well? Or is that a separate license?
Thanks for the code
It worked! I just bought it and I don't even have my Xoom yet. BH just sent but I think it will arrive in Brasil just next week.
I use Quick Office in my Galaxy Tab and it was the best solution for me to use with Google Docs. Looking foward to try this HD version on Xoom.

I did the same thing xD as I'm currently waiting for GSM version of Xoom
Do any of you QuickOffice users know if the MS Excel "Get External Data From Web" function is supported in their program?
If not, are there any programs for android that do support this feature?
I checked out the QuickOffice website and did a search there, but couldn't find anything about that feature, which to me, would mean that it is not supported.
Thanks in advance.
awesome office suite for 10 bucks? Count me in. Hope it includes the updates is all.
Now that I've purchased QuickOffice HD, Google will probably release a native Google Docs app for Honeycomb.
yeah, but it will be a google app. So it wont work.
I hope they offer a similar discount when the XOOM finally gets to the UK, we just get no love over here.

Heh, and I'm still trying to find a good one.
Still works
Just wanted to bump this since the code worked for me this morning, I bought it for my G Tablet running Honeycomb and its fantastic. If I did not have to physically connect to switches for programming (hopefully with the new open accessory platform I will be able to) I would only carry my tablet around.

Still not sure if the Xoom is the Google device? See here

Yeah Google have always supported all devices, it's the manufacturers and operators that don't. My wife and friends have been burned with Samsung updates so I'm not touching them until they prove they will support their own devices.

The reason I chose the Xoom. I will always have the most up to date tablet OS. As long as the Xoom meets the minimum specs that is.
With google announcing that the tab 10.1 will get honeycomb 3.1 in the next two weeks, that is already a good start.

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.

Galaxy Tab 10.1V,Android 3.1 ?!

Any one knows when come upgrade ? wierd, can finde any info....
were probably wont hear anything till it hits.
if it hits.....
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA Premium App
its quite sad actually, considering that the LE SGT 10.1 Google I/O already has gotten the official update...

Yeah, if we get it.
What's the reason that we wouldn't be eligible for the current update. My 10.1v device looks pretty stock, but I've noticed other people talking about having access to samsung app store which my tablet definately doesnt have. I thought the software was basicly the same on the devices.
Can anyone explain the actual differences that result in the 10.1v not being able to get this recent update.
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App
the other thing to keep in mind is that the 10.1v is a 3g version while the 10.1 is a wifi. once the 3g slim 10.1 is released we may see the 3.1 update. lets hope its soon

hope u right dude. coz it looks like a crap. all tablets with honeycomb 3.0 already have an upgrade to 3.1, EXEP US! who can answer me this question ? Vodofone? dunno. Sumsung?- no idia, looks like they forget about 10.1v....
What I care more about is, when will we get the source code for the device kernels. So that we can actually change the CPU speed and make a blazing fast device out of this damn thing.
I called a few days ago Samsung support Benelux (Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg).
The man on the phone told me 3.1 is comming also to the 10.1v but all he could say was "this summer".

As the 10.1V version is exclusive to Vodafone, i think you should ask Vodafone about the update.

yes but samsung provides the updates. vodafone only test and approves it.
Indeed it's not easy to get an answer. Vodafone refers to Samsung and they refer to Vodafone.
Like I said someone from Samsung Benelux support told me "this summer". This can also mean september. We will see, but don't count on getting it before august. Thats my feeling.
Vodafone operates in australia too. Maybe will have to wait for their summer

The same way that u receive an update for android phone.
I Own a Nexus S phone and it was the first to receive the 2.3.4 android update, i got a message that was an system update was ready for it.
I said yes to the update, downloaded it, and installed it without loosing any data.
I think he lied to you. Ive been in contact with samsung benelux 10 days ago. He said the mobile device carriers are responsable for the 10.1v models.... lets hope he was wrong.

Touchwiz Release - August 3rd

Per this article -
http://phandroid.com/2011/07/27/sam...re-update-august-3rd-debuting-at-media-event/
Seems Samsung will be hosting a release party in NY, and side-loading Touchwiz to attendees.
So... hopefully we'll be seeing the update on the same day.
Glad to see some better news about this update other then the words"coming soon" from samsung.
We will know that day, 5 bucks says they release OTA "in the coming weeks"

Good news. I expect that we'll see it before the end of August.
I work in Manhattan so if I really wanted to I could skip out of work for a bit and get this loaded.
I have a locked version, should I root and add CWM before I do this or leave it bone stock?
I am very pleased that they at least gave us some date not like with froyo for my vibrant! It seems like Samsung is very excited about this update as we are. Lol.. My prediction is that they will release an ota date on wednesday like they did with the the actual unit itself and we will all have it by Friday next week, but who knows... Haha

It seems that Samsung doesn't have any solid numbers of retail sales in the US for the 10.1.
https://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/96624175124451328
Since the product registration is voluntary and you can use the tab right out of the box (unlike iOS) I guess they're just using whatever hokey methods they can to estimate sales.
Update: they are being rather stupid about it:
