Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz UX update paused for some bug-squashing
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 shipped with as plain of an UI as Android Honeycomb intended in the US, and the TouchWiz UX update began rolling shortly after launch.
Now it seems that Samsung has put the update on hold for the time being, saying it needs to ensure a positive customer experience, which is corporatese for "we need to pull it in and squash some bugs". People at XDA-Devs have been complaining about graphics issues after the update, so that might be it.

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung will appeal a recent ruling by The Regional Court of Düsseldorf in Germany that bars the South Korean tablet maker from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 device in the whole of the European Union except for the Netherlands, The Wall Street Journal said on Friday. The appeal court date is set for August 25th. Samsung could face fines of up to $350,000 per unit if it continues to sell the device in the European Union. On August 1st, Apple also blocked Samsung from selling its tablet in Australia until courts rule whether or not the device infringes on 10 of Apple’s patents. Apple has a similar case open in the United States in which it has accused Samsung of creating copycat devices of its i...

Apple Successfully Blocks Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 From Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple and Samsung have been in the heat of an intense legal battle across several countries, but it looks like Apple has taken the upper hand. We recently heard that Samsung had decided not to sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android tablet in Australia due to the legal issues with Apple. This time around, the tablet has been blocked from being sold in Europe, giving us a clear sign that things are tipping in Apple’s favor.
The issue originally started when the iPhone maker accused Samsung of “slavishly copying” the iPhone and iPad design, and that the Korean manufacturer lacked any originality or innovation. Samsung returned fire by suing Apple for infringing on several wireless patents. The two ha...

Samsung demands 'optional' UI to get Android 3.2 on Tab 10.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSamsungGoogleGALAXY Tab 10.1Android 3.2
Samsung as part of the kickoff of its TouchWiz rollout for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 revealed that the update wouldn't be optional in practice for real users. Although owners will have the option of declining the custom interface, they won't have the option of upgrading to Android 3.2, Ice Cream Sandwich, or any other patch. The move would leave everyone preferring the original, stock experience locked to 3.1 for the device's remaining lifetime.
TouchWiz had been promised for the tablet from March onwards, but Samsung only clarified that it wouldn't be preloaded relatively close to the launch.
The interface brings some potentially helpful additions, like a more advanced quick control panel, live p...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 kept from Australians by Apple injunction
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple has taken its patent infringement and trade dress case against Samsung to the land down under, as it has now filed an injunction against Samsung with Australian courts. As a result, Samsung has agreed to stop promoting its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Australia until the court case is resolved.
As part of the agreement, Apple will pay Samsung unspecified damages should Apple lose the court case, which is set for August 29. Apple's complaints with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia are the same as it has filed in the U.S., namely that it "slavishly copied" Apple's existing designs with the intent to confuse customers.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Beats Apple iPad 2 In Display Contest

Apple’s iPad 2 has been carrying the torch for the best quality display, but a recent comparison test suggests that it may be ousted by the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The test was conducted by DisplayMate, comparing the iPad 2 display to that of various other Android tablets in addition to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, including the Motorola XOOM, Acer Iconia Tab A500, and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.
The attributes that DisplayMate focused on were color accuracy, viewing angles, saturation, brightness and contrast, screen reflections, backlight power consumption, and battery life of the display. The worst of the bunch was the Motorola XOOM, which scored poorly across the board. In the middle ...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: On sale in UK 3 August
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the super skinny Android tablet, will be hitting UK shops on 3 August.
Well, we say shops we actually mean shop. One shop - the Currys and PC World Tottenham Court Road branch in London, which will open its doors at 5pm to sell the 10.1-inch slate.
The official launch date for the UK is the day after, 4 August, where he Wi-Fi version will be available exclusively for a month both online and in Currys and PC World stores across the country.
Priced from £399, Samsung seems to have learnt its lesson from the incredibly overpriced original Galaxy Tab - the 7-inch Froyo device launched at the end of 2010 priced at £599 before having its price slashed only a couple of ...

Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets Ubuntu OS installed overtop Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
GalaxyTabHacks has posted detailed instructions on how interested parties can install Ubuntu Linux onto the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The hack finds a way to use the distribution without completely overriding Android. Dubbed Tabuntu, the OS runs as it would on a virtual machine.
The mod allows users to run native Linux programs on the tablet. The host Galaxy Tab needs to be rooted, and the instructions are rather detailed, though they are available in the development video (below). Busybox also needs to be installed onto the host Tab. The source site above also has links to the files users will need to download.
The creator of the mod admits the browser exhibits lag but can be used, and is sa...

Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 available for preorder
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Tab 10.1
If you really wanted a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but wished it had mobile data connectivity built it, you’ll be happy to know that the Verizon 4G LTE version is now available in preorder. There are a few caveats though.
The first issue is that the Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 won’t ship for at least a month, as the company is quoting 4-6 weeks before it will get to you. If you love your gadgets as much as we do, that’s going to be a long, long time to wait.
The second issue that some of you may come up against is price. The Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 will start at $529 for the 16 GB model and $629 for the 32 GB version. That’s not much more than the WiFi-only model but these come saddled...

Sprint has just announced that it will be carrying the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 beginning June 24.

The carrier says that the 16GB edition of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available for $499.99. It is the same version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that hit retail shelves last weekend.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 hitting Sprint on June 24th, bring your own 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Samsung wouldn't get any more specific than "mid-summer" when it revealed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 would be coming to Sprint, but it turns out you don't have to wait much longer to pick one via the carrier. Sprint has just announced that the WiFi-only tablet will be available through its website and other channels starting June 24th for the same $499.99 it demands elsewhere (though you'll have to wait until July 24th to get one at a Sprint retail store). It also not-so-subtly notes that the tablet is "even more amazing" when paired with an Overdrive Pro 4G mobile hotspot or Novatel MiFi -- sold separately, of course. Full press release is after the break.
