Your kidding me right Samsung?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) officially announced at MWC, 3.1 extra inches of Ice Cream Sandwich -- Engadget

They repackaged the 10.1 with ICS, nothing new. I sure hope this doesn't mean we get the shaft on ICS

Galaxy Tab now = lower end tablet (ie Galxay Tab 2 in 7" or 10.1" models). Galaxy Note besides phone is also going to be their premiere tablet line going forward (ie 5.3" Note phone/tablet hybrid, 10.1 Galaxy Note tablet). Yes, Samsung has effing terrible naming systems for their products. The bad boy who is the successor to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 out now is the Galaxy Note 10.1. Leaked pic of an ad of one on Slashgear.

Looking like our original Galaxy 10.1's won't be getting ICS until after the new lineup of Galaxy Tab's hit the market.

Custom ROMs are the answer

That press release made no mention of Note 10.1 or s-pen for new tablets. Its actually called the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
I hope the Note tab is a reality because I think the s-pen would actually be more useful in that size. But I can't see why they would release a Tab 2 10.1 and a Note 10.1.
Edit: I see the pics on slash gear. I'm excited to see what's revealed. All we've got now is an ipad 1.

I'm hoping that they're announcing this 10.1 as the lower end Tab and then will show off the new super thin 11.6 inch tablet as their new top of the line tablet.

Hoping...but not convinced.

I was hoping for the Galaxy Tab 3 announcement at WMC. What a big disappointment.

 

[whiteshadow001]

I was hoping for a quad core tab from Samsung but they're offerings so far are weak compared to Acer and ASUS, heck even Huawei

 

[dylan808]

Samsung had a weak showing at MWC. Two 10.1 tablets that look and operate almost the same as the current 10.1. Why not just make one tablet that is compatible with the S-Pen but is an optional accessory instead? Kinda like HTC and the Flyer.
Here's to hoping they have something up their sleeve like they did last year when the 10.1 was announced.

I'm hoping they have something planned, but it's really confusing to the buyer now. Samsung's should have just stayed with the tab series or at least differentiated the two. The note and the tab 2 look identical. I'm really hoping for a quad core 1080p tab

Without the 11.6 inch + "retina" display, Samsung has no chance of competing in the tablet market.

Agreed. With the iPad 3 almost certain, Samsung needs something to keep itself afloat in this rising sea of Tablets. (terrible metaphor lol)
Maybe it might end up like last year when Sammy announced the old 10.1 and then tweaked it once iPad 2 was released.

I couldn't agree with you more. Although I think ASUS has the whole tablet thing down to a science. They have some nice offerings at MWC

I will ditch Samsung for Asus if the original Tab 10.1 doesn't get ICS update by March latest as promised by Samsung.

Already, the Tab 10.1 2 is almost simlar like the original version, they really have no excuses of not giving it to us now. Corporate greed might make them delay the ICS update till after the products have been in the market for a week or two.

Tell Samsung this.

I think it's looking likely that Samsung learned from the iPad 2 debacle (when it made their Galaxy Tab look like a joke, so they redesigned it in a month). So they're waiting to see what Apple offers first and then quietly making a competitive Tablet to the iPad 3.

Thankfully I could care less about Ics update for my tablet. When it happens it happens. My tablet does everything and more that I need it to do with or without Ics. I don't understand why people get so nuts over these Updates. Yes I know certain things will be improved upon but to actually get angry because it is not on our tablets yet is something I guess I won't ever understand.

I'm not angry I'm just peeved that tablets that just came out get the update before the older tabs do. The acer a200 got ICS so why can't Samsung get it together and release ICS. I want ICS because it makes everything so smooth

People (myself included) just want the latest and greatest of whatever out there. To be on the bleeding edge of technology
I just would like this update to at least address some of the lag I have in my Tab. The sooner the better.

The tab is good im just tird of all the lag that i see daily. I just want things to work. Maybe i should switch tabs who knows maybe get an ipad(kidding), i think im going to switch to asus if we dont get it soon. Im not jumping ship, i love samsung and all, butthis to me at least seems like repeat of the galaxy s phones.
