Same here. Asus made it a lot hire on my list because OMG they update their stuff in more timely manner.

Samsung promised ICS 1Q for Galaxy 10.1. Now we 1/2 way threw 2Q and still no real word on it.
Samsung does not have the carrier excuse on this one. It show volumes that they really do not care. It is quick way to turn me COMPLETELY off against any samsung because they are badly failing to deliver on basic promises.

I know, which is why I'm still thinking it over.

Problem is, my Tab is all that's keep me sane at work just now, so I wouldn't want to be without it for an extended period of time.
I'm going to try the fixes next time I have a couple of days off and take it from there.

since the galaxy tab 2 is out already, y can't we just port that rom over and flash it instead? yes a root will be needed but I ran CM9 for a while and actually liked the android 3.2 more (CM9 crashed way too much and i missed some of the samsung apps)

Tab 2 is not identical in hardware to Tab. Porting of that ROM will not work too well. Alas...

Basically I fully agree. Without custom rom I would sell my Tab. HC is simply not acceptable.

I would say AOKP is as good as overcome. I am running my tab now on AOKP on milestone 5 P37 and this release is far better (smoother) than milestone 4 P31 (the first AOKP I tried).

With other word: it is usable now.

shame on Samsung for their update policy.

I've tried not to be frustated with the delays we are facing, but after soo much mornths pased, eventually I got frustrated.

When google releases a new version, the manufacturer needs between 2 and 6 months to apply the update to their devices, if those devices meets the requirements for this version. Then if you bought your devices from a carrier, there is a chance that you will need to wait another 2 months for the update to reach your device. This happened to me. My carrier needed additional 2 months, because they have a custom app store and another crappy app. I assume that they needed those 2 months to update those two to the new version. Funny, ha?

Don't get me wrong, I love my adroid phone and android tablet, but compared to the way new versions are released to apples products, android is loosing big time.

For apple, we do not have the delay because of the customization of the manufacturers. Appart from that carriers customizations are apps that are updated in the app store and do not delay of the new OS version release.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi/3G > ASUS Nexus 7 - stock 4.2

Forgive the "newbie" comment but isn't this thread for updates about the "ICS Release" hence the Title, "ICS Release Information ". Perhaps there needs to be separate thread for the, I'm whinning about the lack of an ICS update. Just saying?

EVERY LAST WORD OF THIS^^^

What I **REALLY** don't like is that the people here can cry a river against samsung, but as soon as someone steps up for samsung and defends them, the post is deleted without comment or explanation. It's all coming back to me now why I LEFT xda in the first place. Completely forgot the crybabies had won.

Well I ask. what is the defense for Samsung here? The first promised a 1Q update for a list of device none of which got it. Then then the 10.1 had gotten nothing not
