Samsung post on facebook - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

So does Samsung post on facebook from 4 hours ago mean anything or just more hype? Basically implies that we have gotten "Premium Suite " and jb, which we know we haven't. so is launch imminent?

not yet

Searched Facebook could not find post (there's a million 'Samsungs') - could you quote the post?

Found it. I swear it wasn't there when I looked this morning. Anyway, it says:
"GALAXY Note 10.1 gets Premium Suite update. Packs enhanced multitasking, new S Pen-optimized features and Android Jelly Bean."
with a link to the Premium Suite video and that's it.
So, it's not really anything new.

Kind of... for the 8000 and 8020 only. No one with an 8010 or 8013 has ever seen an update.

that's why I just ordered a Nexus 10

I'm switching from the nexus 10 to the note. Its funny how people always see other devices better than their own. I would stick with the note if you ever use the spen. The lack of a a good stylus is killing me with the nexus. I'm selling mine today.

Honestly? Look - I'm not a big Samsung fan - they definitely have some seriously wonky business practices - moreso since I'm in Canada and they can't get their act together up here and decide if we're their favourite country or we're just a joke... and no one carries accessories for their products up here anyway - but here's the thing...
I own a ton of Samsung computer products because as much as it annoys me these two facts keep drawing me back...
1. They may be annoying - but the only real alternative left is Apple.
2. They are the ONLY company that makes damn near *exactly* what I want. Apple doesn't. Asus gets close - but then keeps blowing it. Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?
Samsung is the new Sony. They're Apple with a sense of weirdness that makes their products interesting instead of always being about fash and status.
So, like I said elsewhere - I may not like them much - but there really isn't anything better to jump to.

" Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?"
Very funny!
All true, and exactly how I feel re: other manufacturers. Others get close, sometimes, but never quite there.
And to the poster who is going to return his Note for a Nexus because JB hasn't arrived yet - go get a life. Borrow one, steal one, heck buy one. Seriously. Get a little perspective.

Lol I don't know why you're acting like they've done something wrong to you. In there announcements they said the Note 10.1 will get Jelly Bean in Q4, So unless it's January 2013 there is no point wasting your time getting frustrated.
If I was you I would look at the Nexus 10 forums first lol, all they are doing is saying maybe we should return it and get a Note 10.1.
I'm seeing a lot of this "the grass looks greener on the other side"
Anyway my Nexus 10 comes next week :fingers-crossed:

Less drivel ftw!
Most of us made it this long... Besides, this works fine as is i can wait.

I'll bet that JB will not be out for all regions by the end of the year.

I returned my Nexus 10 as I'm happier with the Note 10.1. Also, much happier with the new Note II addition compared to Nexus 10 especially since it has JB to tide me over until it comes to Note 10.1. Once you go Note it's hard to go back to a consumption only tablet.

Seriously, if you want JB that bad, spend an hour and update to the German release and stop whining.

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...
i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

Nexus Tablet!

I have been looking at buying the Asus Transformer Prime. And was pretty much sold on it until I ran across this..

if you want one now, the xoom is basically an nexus tablet. well just have wait an see, for an few months.
If Nexus Tab:Nexus Phone::Galaxy Tab:Galaxy Phone, I'll stick with Galaxy phones and tabs for superior hardware, since Touchwiz is becoming driver support rather than ui.

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)
Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

LOL! I know what you mean! I never really liked the form factor of any of the nexus series phones. But thats just me. I do however really LOOOOVE the design of the Galaxy S series ( captivate, infuse, sgs2 and Note) I already played with the Samsung media player at Best Buy which is exactly the same form factor as the Note with the exception of the pen, and immediately thought to myself, this can definitely work for me.
Im hoping the note is 199 on upgrade, and not 250 though!
Perfect, just in time for my upgrade.
Eh, I'll wait for something else or the SGSIII.

Amazon review says US unlocked phones won't be getting ICS.

As long as it is indeed a n7000 u can get the official rom updates here and the awsome roms from the devs. I am using a german note with hk rom and getting hk rom updates via kies . No problem at all.

That review is not correct.
I just received that exact phone last week, from Amazon. Each Galaxy Note has a region code to indicate where it came from (Mine was from the UAE). This code can be changed to any region you want. This will allow for a stock upgrade to ICS, when it comes out.
Also, just like the previous poster said, you can root and put any rom you want on your Note.
I am running the stock ICS beta, from January. For me, it is awesome. I am running at 213 DPI which gives me the tablet mode look.

So you neither discredit nor credit what is posted on xda and Amazon reviews nor do you place credibility on the opinions or facts of those places above what you personally believe which is based off the things you read which may or may not have any significant validity as to its claims, which is still eclipsed by the fact that you take everything with "a grain of salt" that is on the internet, which is the place you have come to with a question seeking an answer.
I think you should meet with an authority figure who you can't discredit, in person (to eliminate the internet factor), so you can get the facts.
I know the perfect person, he can be found in a mirror.
P.S. stay free
It'll get updated to ICS. Don't worry. But it will be layered with TouchWiz. In this year, Samsung will not be stupid enough to cut the cord on a 3 month old device. That would be pure suicide. The PR nightmare.
Basically true. My conclusions is derived from all the information I've gathered with consideration of credibility of the various sources.

Why is Samsung taking so long for 4.2

If I were them I'd skip it. It's more an incremental than point release and the only substantial feature that it has that 4.1 doesn't is multi-user. Going to 4.3 or 5.0 assuming there's a material difference in features, infrastructure, or functionality makes more sense. Google seems to be updating all their revenue generating apps without tying them to a specific OS version (EG: Google Now) so all their apps should stay current and Samsung can update their’s via Play or Samsung Apps. When you think about it 2>3>4 were huge leaps because Android was so immature. 4.1>4.2>X.X and beyond are likely to be far less earth shattering. Based on user reports, 4.2 had lots of issues with little gain. I'd rather have something stable that works well than something "new" just because it's new.
Yes I hope they skip. Not a fa. Of the newly centered nav keys

Yeah, thats one of the reasons I like the Note 10.1 over the Nexus 10.
4.2 also has a very screwed up Bluetooth stack.. everyone's screaming about it. (Actually, it got screwed up in 4.1.2... uh oh...)

Samsung users their own which is why we have AVRCP 1.3 and AOSP ROMs don't. So we're safe. Kind of sad that OEM's are pushing out more stable s/w than Google. Part of everyone's lust for Nexi is their "pure Google" experience and all the (theoretic) benefits that's supposed to bring.

They kindof screwed up the bluetooth stack. My RAZR has 4.1.2 and it plays media and voice calls well over my ford sync but the MAP isnt pushing my text messages anymore.

Actually... The leaked specs of the Note 8 that's supposed to be announced next month show it to be shipping with 4.2. So I'd imagine the whole "where's my update?" cylcle's about to start all over again.

All devices have 4.1 now. You do not need one for your country, take any 4.1 for your device and simply choose your language at setup, change the standard keyboard language in the settings and all is like in your own country version.

I think that when Nexus devices come out, they get the latest Android version (4.2 here) and they have an exclusive on it for some time. Yes multiuser is nice, but I do not need it.
