Original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Getting ICS Now In The UK And Italy

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

Slowly but surely, Samsung has been pushing ICS to several devices in the Galaxy Tab series, and it looks like today's the day for the Wi-Fi (GT-P7510) in the UK and the 3G version (GT-P7500) in Italy. The long-awaited update brings not only Android 4.0, but also an updated version of Touchwiz UX that's quite similar to the newest Tab 2 series.

We expect that the update should become available in other parts of the world quite soon, but there's no official word as to when that will happen.

The update is rolling out OTA-style right now, but it can also be pulled via Kies.

[Updated x3: It's Back!] Android 3.2 Rolling Out To The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi Now, Grab It While It's Hot

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

Update x2: The update is back on, and this time it shouldn't break anything. If you didn't pull it the first go around, you can go ahead and grab it in typical OTA fashion. If, however, you ended up with a Wi-Fi-less tablet after the initial update, you'll need to use the Kies desktop application to pull the the fix. [AC]

Here's the official word from Papa Sammy:

Earlier this morning, Samsung began releasing an over the air software update allowing Galaxy 10.1 users to upgrade to Android 3.2 while also resolving a Wi-Fi connectivity issues some Galaxy 10.1 users experienced following a previous software update.

[Aww Yea] Cyanogen: ICS Coming Soon To The Galaxy Tab 10.1

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

While we've seen the newest iteration of Android show its stuff on the phone, we've yet to see what the experience will be like on a tablet. That's all about to change, though, because Cyanogen himself posted the following on his Google+:

ICS on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is pretty great. Coming soon to a CM mirror near you :)

I, for one, am giddy with excitement about this; I've been looking forward to ICS on my Tab 10.1 for a while now. Of course, we all know the first rule of Cyanogenmod by now, so we'll just hang out on the sidelines and wait for this one to make its way to the mirror network.

[Review] ZAGGfolio For Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: A Poor Man's Transformer Dock... Sort Of

Posted by in Reviews
Last Updated: November 4th, 2011

I have a confession to make: I'm incredibly jealous of Transformer owners. Not because of the tablet itself, but the super-sick laptop dock. Don't get me wrong -- I love the tablet, too, but that dock just does it for me. It's functional, useful, and brings things to the Transformer that I can only wish my Galaxy Tab 10.1 had.

All bonuses aside, one of the core features of the Transformer's dock is, of course, the keyboard. For web surfing, checking email, and light social networking, a keyboard-less tablet is fine. But for those of us who use tablets for more than that, a keyboard is almost a requisite.

[Review] SGP Ultra Capsule Case For The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: It's My Tab's New Soul Mate

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, Reviews

Before we get rolling with this review, I want to get one thing out in the open: I don't like cases. On any of my devices. They add bulk, restrict access to certain elements of the hardware (in some situations), and are just all around inconvenient. Honestly -- what's the point of having one of the thinnest tablets (or phones) on the planet just so you can fatten it up with a case? It basically just ruins the entire experience.

Or so I thought.

Then I got my hands on the Ultra Capsule Case by SGP for the Tab 10.1. If a product ever existed to change my mind about an entire genre of accessories, this is the one.

[Tutorial] How To Enable Game Controller Support On The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tips & Tutorials
Last Updated: April 6th, 2012

With the arrival of Honeycomb 3.1 came some really nice features, including one of the most useful to date: USB host support. This allows users to plug thumb drives, external hard drives, mice, keyboards, and more into their tablets and use them with little-to-no hassle.

Out of the many uses for USB host support, adding a game controller to your tablet is a simple way to have more fun with your device -- it improves the experience with a lot of games, especially if, like me, you hate touchscreen controls. While most tablet manufacturers have included gamepad support in their devices right out of the box, such is not the case with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (possibly because of the lack of a dedicated USB port), but not to worry -- if you're looking to use a USB game controller on your Tab, there is a way to get it working, granted you have the 30-pin USB adapter.

German Court Puts The Smack Down On Samsung Again, Refuses To Lift Ban On Galaxy Tab 10.1 Sales

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

Early last month, a German court halted the sale and distribution of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 due to a suit filled against Samsung by Apple. Naturally, Sammy appealed the injunction, but the court has upheld the ban on Tab 10.1 sales, citing that "Apple’s minimalistic design isn’t the only technical solution to make a tablet computer, other designs are possible."

This comes as yet another blow against Samsung, as it has already had to halt sales of the Tab 10.1 in a few other countries, as well as pull its Galaxy Tab 7.7 showcase from the IFA conference last week.

Sammy said that it will once again file an appeal, as this ruling "severely limits consumer choice in Germany” and “restricts design innovation and progress in the industry."
