Impatient would be if the update was release a month ago. This is just plain ridiculous. At this point, I could care less about the ICS update or the GT10.1 anymore. I'm anxiously waiting for the Nexus tablet to come out this summer.

Jay,

I agree with you. This Tab is a mass market consumer product. It's not a niche developer product. Samsung must make sure it works properly for the masses.

Also, I have ICS on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. While I like it a lot, as you point out, there are plenty of apps not ready for prime time on ICS and there are a number of complaints about the phone which almost always are traced back to such apps.

I think that once ICS is rolled out to the big audience of Galaxy Tabs there will be complaints about problems that users hadn't seen before. But this is natural with a dramatically new version of the OS. Samsung might be trying to mitigate that with the rollout and that might be why it's taking longer than those here would like.

You're all being way too impatient. Samsung isn't taking any longer than any other manufacturers to get ICS onto its devices. ICS is a major rewrite of Android, and getting it to run smoothly on devices that weren't built around Android 4.0 is a huge undertaking. Even unofficial ports are taking longer than normal on most devices. Sure Asus has been pumping out updates faster than most, but you're effectively beta testing their software. I'd rather wait for Samsung to deliver a polished update than get something that is halfway broken and ridden with bugs
If I'm going to complain about ICS updates, I'm going to mention my Motorola Droid X2. I bought it less than year ago, and Moto has confirmed that it's not getting ICS AT ALL. The X2's sister devices (Photon and Atrix) are both likely getting updated, but the X2 IS SOL. So if you don't mind, I'll skip this pointless baww-fest and save my disdain for a company that has earned it.

Yeah, I'm sorry to repeat myself, but the people complaining about the delay are making me nuts. The Galaxy line has received the ICS update consistently during a month and a half; the Tab 10.1v seems to be the last one..so what ?
That are litterally DOZENS of phones out there that were never updated or never will be updated to ICS. Phones sometimes that don't have any custom roms support for very little.

Don't you guys have lives ? You can't wait two more weeks ?
Honestly, you are an insult to the many users stuck with never-to-be updated phones. See the LG 2x, the first dual core phone, that's still stuck in 2.3 and it was announced yesterday than it's ICS update will be delayed for several months. See Motorola who releases phones with Gingerbread today (or the Atrix with Froyo) and takes MONTHS to release a major update but it is already outdated by one version when its out, see the completely dropped support for the 10.1v...

You HTC and Samsung are spoiled kids. And you dare to complain. Shame on you.

ics for galaxy tab 10.1

The update will come soon. I think samsung is making sure to make it work properly on this device.

Lol @ samsung no junk policy. That whole post sounds really fanboy-y.

You would moan if it wasn't stable. The A500 in the UK got it's update around 2-3 days ago and that is running stock Honeycomb. Samsung has a lot more work to do. First, It has port Touchwiz to Ice Cream Sandwich and on top of that make sure it is stable enough for real world use. I know you could Argue "Well, just don't put Touchwiz on it then!" but I bought it knowing that it was a TouchWiz tab, not a stock Android one and that I think Touchwiz enhances the experience.

It was. I am a fan and avid consumer of Samsung products. Having used them for as long as I can remember and never having much of a problem with them, I consider my fanboy-y ways perfectly appropriate.

Thank you for the compliment

I'm no Samsung fanboy - I buy what I think is the best device for my needs. Except the X2. That was a momentary lapse of judgement.

You don't get to the point where carriers start adding it to their upgrade lists and then just not release it. We all know manufacturers take a horribly long time to update so just sit tight and find something more useful to worry about.

Do we really need more pointless speculation about whether the inevitable pointless speculation will continue?
