Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, originally announced with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) on board, will now ship with the updated Android 3.1 operating system. Samsung has updated its Galaxy Tab 10.1 product page to reflect the update, and a representative for Samsung Mobile confirmed in a comment on the firm’s official Facebook page that “the original had 3.0 but now it will [ship] with Android 3.1.” The new operating system should include support for Google’s Android movie rental service, Adobe Flash Player 10.2 support, USB-connected peripherals, resizable home screen widgets, and more.

    I’m not sure this is a good thing; you can’t give Xooms away.

      Yes you can.
      I have seen multiple radio stations and websites giving them away.
      You know you are a real buttface.

    Just got the infuse and I love it. I never thought I would become a Samsung fan. If they can overcome the updating issues I think they will become the new handset maker to beat.

    I have a 10.1 from Google I/O and the tablet is really solid. 3.1 brings some nice features and I’m guessing a decent amount of stability increases. Should be good. I’m just waiting to be able to download it.

      I also received a tablet a I/O and my Tab crashes all of the time.  I’m really looking for the 3.1 update to hopefully correct these issues.  Also looking forward to cases being available so I don’t feel like I need to carry it around like a newborn. =)

    Does it come with a USB peripheral dongle?  Please tell me it does… I want to not need my laptop anymore to download photos from my DSLR when I’m on trips!

      Not sure about the shipping version. The 10.1 didn’t. I’d love to have one, and I’d also love to know if the 10.1 is a USB Host.

        *the 10.1 Google I/O didn’t

    This is pretty remarkable for two reasons:
    1. Someone will be shipping an Android product with the *current* OS on it and not one 6 months old.
    2. It’s *Samsung* updating their device!
