Samsung Hosting An Event In NYC To Unveil The TouchWiz UX Update For The Galaxy Tab 10.1 on August 3rd (via @AndroidPolice)
Then us "regular schmucks" will need to wait for 17 days for the "general release"
I think this was a reference to the amount of time the GT was available at the NYC location and when it became available to everyone else...Where did you read 17 days?
I would guess we would get it on either Friday or the following Monday
Will we be forced to install this?
Turn off automatic updates and then never manually check and that would probably work at keeping you safe from TouchWiz.
I'm excited for it, from what I've seen TouchWiz is nice. Shame this isn't also a 3.2 update, too.
