but anything to keep the spirits up is more than welcome

here's the link

and here's the quote

More good update news is for the Galaxy Tab 7.7. Samsung says they will update this tablet to Android 4.2.1 called Jelly Bean. We are quite happy that Samsung decided to update their most wonderful tablet till date. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 uses Samsung’s own sAMOLED display.

[Update 20/3/2013]
Some bad news for us, Samsung will delay the update, but at least we have a time frame for such an update to see the light, also we will be lucky to have premium suite, Aren't we ?

There is some bad news for Galaxy Tab 7.7 users. Samsung’s first AMOLED tablet, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, will receive Android 4.1.2 later than planned. Samsung is having some problems with the Exynos processor. A good thing to know is some of the Galaxy Note 10.1 features will be included in the Galaxy Tab 7.7 premium suite update. The Update has been sceduled for May / June this year. There is no further information but we will keep you infirmed.

[Update 25/3/2013]
No more Delays, Software is under testing now, and planned to get updates in Q2/Q3 for version 4.2.2
Source:

The Galaxy Tab 2 by Samsung will receive Android 4.1.2 and end with Android 4.2.2. Samsung will no longer support the Galaxy Tab 2 after the Android 4.2.2 update. The updates must be done before the end of September. The issue with Samsung’s Exynos processor has been resolved and Samsung has, once again, started to test Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmwares for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6800) and Galaxy Tab Plus (GT-P6200).

Everything sounds a bit far away but Samsung really wants to update all tablets in Q2 and Q3 to Android 4.1.2 or maybe directly to Android 4.2.2.

[Update 2/5/2013]
Samsung Thailand set the estimated release date in May 2013
according to this website: http://www.samsung.com/th/article/firmware-update-announcement/

yes, it must be internal source that told them that.
i sent the publisher mail to ask him about his source? and how sure he is?
no reply from him yet, i'll keep you updated if he told me more info

no comment on the galaxy tab 7.7, they did not give.

I live in Ukraine. just written in support of samsung. they have not verified the information about the galaxy tab 7.7

GT-I8160 Galaxy Ace 2 to Jelly Bean 22.04.2013;

GT-I9070 Galaxy S Advance to Jelly Bean 18.02.2013;

GT-I9100 Galaxy S2 to Jelly Bean 03.03.2013;

GT-N7000 Galaxy Note to Jelly Bean 01.03.2012;

GT-P6200 Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to Jelly Bean 22.02.2013;

GT-P7300 Galaxy Tab 8.9 to Ice Cream Sandwich 24.01.2013

In any case, galaxy tab 7.7 update will not start in Ukraine, and the new firmware we get more this week

burhanistan · Feb 1, 2013

I won't believe anything until I can flash it via Odin/CW or it shows up as an OTA.

Seriously, just abandon hope for Jellybean (especially 4.2!) and enjoy your tab as is. If an update comes, it will be a nice surprise.

bassem.mohsen · Feb 1, 2013

sammobile is respectful source, look at the first time he published the update data from samsaung Thailand.
he said he isn't sure, and he will ask Samsung Benelux for a confirmation.
Knowing that it's same publisher "Published by DannyD" who published both topics.

This time he looks sure in the news, like he got the reply or something

if the news is right, we will see more confirmation in the next week or something.

That's What I'm Talking About

Jola013 · Feb 2, 2013

I hope that this rumour is correct, if it is not I will not buy any Samsung Android product again - their slackness with updates is really bad.

The 4.0.4 release is not great, and the wifi is still not 100% even on the latest releases.

I am considering just binning the P6800 and using an Nexus 7 32GB 3G. Will miss the card slot, though.

bassem.mohsen · Feb 2, 2013

even gsmarena trusted sammobile.

Meh.

I wouldn't count on Sammy providing us with a JB update.

They only update their devices which have sold well.

Galaxy Tab 7.7 is newer than the Galaxy S2 yet there has been no solid evidence that JB firmware is in the works.

melorib · Feb 3, 2013

Positive thinking my friends :victory:

By the time they roll out jb in march, google will anounce klp in may :| sigh. Plus samsung have so many other plan for other products in hand, 7.7 will be the least to consider. Either wait for custom rom or switch devices guy

if there is someone you should be angry on, it should be Apple.. the patent infringement case on our gtab 7.7 hampered sales hence the low user base and low dev support and making any kind of future updates bleak

still, if I recall correctly, apple banned this during the launch of the ipad 2, samsung pull this off the shelves during that convention resulting to poor or insuficient advertising. If you may, try searching for a TVC for this unit in youtube, compared to let's say, the original 7.0 and the 7.0 plus

Still, there's nothing for now can compete this tablet, samsaung back selling it again.
still it's the only tab containg such beautiful HW: SAMOLED screen, 5000 mAH, and expandable memory, higher ppi for 7 inch.
and if it's updated to JB there will be no need for quad core where it will be very smooth user experience due to Buttery smooth UI.

So, i can say sammy can start selling it again and reuse the model in this year
