[Updated] T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Set To Get ICS Via Kies Beginning On August 14th

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, News, T-Mobile

Samsung has been working to push Ice Cream Sandwich to the entire Galaxy Tab series as of late. We've already seen it hit the 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi, 7.7, and 10.1. As usual, owners of carrier-connected tablets have to wait a bit longer, as the update has more hoops to jump through before it can get the final approval and make its way to said devices.

Looks like T-Mobile is among one of the first carriers to offer the update for its variant of the Tab 7.0 Plus, and it's scheduled to become available tomorrow. However, this one isn't coming over-the-air (OTA); you'll have to turn to Samsung's proprietary Kies software to grab the download.

[Update: Release Date And Price Announced] Samsung Announces The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus - 7-Inches Of Honeycomb Goodness And A 1.2GHz Processor

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, News

Update: The Tab 7 Plus will be available for pre-order on October 23rd for a cool $399.

If there was one that the OG Galaxy Tab 7 had going for it, it was portability. Still, while the device was revolutionary for Android at the time, it was still little more than a glorified phone. Not willing to let a potentially good thing die, Sammy took it back to the lab, infused it with an operating system meant for tablets and a more powerful processor. What emerged was the Tab 7.0 Plus.

  • HSPA+ 900/1900/2100 connectivity
