Today I installed Samsung Kies. Then I connected my Tab 8.9.

When it all seemed fine and dandy, I selected "Apps" in Kies. Then Kies tells me an update must be installed. The update install then fails for some reason.

Next step is that Samsung Apps tells me the Samsung apps are incompatible with the Galaxy Tab 8.9

Has anyone else noticed or knowledge about this behavior? I am using Windows 7/64 bit. Is anyone else using this and also using Samsung Kies to install apps out of the Samsung store?

Both Kies and Samsung Apps work fine on my XP machine; the latter also works fine on the GT8.9 (except for the bug requiring flight mode to be off even with a Wi-Fi connection enabled) though I bought mine in Hong Kong.

They both work fine on mine as well. No problem with either. Kies connects and updates and Samsung Apps has a lot of apps to download. I have the 8.9 Wifi Tab and purchased in the US.

Kies, most wifi transfer programs are sucky at best. its faster and easier just to connect their USB, takes 3 seconds longer then connecting to a kies

That being said, both Samsung Apps and Kies both work on my tablet. even downloaded a Samsung App just to make sure. Heavy Gunner 3D was free in Samsung Apps but $4.99 in Android Market. Both work and connect fine. On Stock 3.1 w touchwiz and rooted with custom 3.2 and 4.0 ROM's

I am using the 7310 tegra 2 wifi version of the 8.9

Kies has only worked once for me and that was the verry first time. It updated my 7310 to HC 3.2 and then It never connected again. Tried on 3 different PC's. One windows 7 64bit and two windows xp.

    Kies is trash, plain and simple.

    Also, the Samsung app market is empty. Plain empty. Just use the Android Market, seriously.
