Hopefully this means good things for the Tab 10.1's bootloader!

I'm pretty sure it's unlocked. Generally Samsung doesn't lock down their devices, plus it seems the first wave of Honeycomb devices seem unlockable - even the Motorola Xoom.

Mine shows the unlocked icon as well. 32GB model.

Same deal, 16GB Grey.

Same here. Appears unlocked. 16gb gray from Best Buy

On a different note, I had a brown, locked symbol on my 16 GB. Bought at Fry's by the way.

Drat.

Could you get a picture to verify that?

Mine looked like that when I turned it on. I have a gray, 32G from Amazon.
