Do you like Android 3.1? Do you like tablets slimmer than the iPad 2? You might want to talk to Samsung in that case, because the Galaxy creator has put those two features together on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 product page and has compounded the excitement with a tweet saying the tablet is mere days away. Now, there's a bit of conflicting information here, because Samsung's tweet actually promises Android 3.0, but the Tab 10.1 page clearly lists the harder, better, faster, stronger Android version as the one that comes with the slate. Additionally, our conversations with Samsung at Google I/O earlier this month indicated that the June 8th launch date that we've been taking as gospel until recently is a little shakier now, with a slight delay possibly being caused by the desire to install the latest Honeycomb on board. So maybe the tweet's accurate in saying the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is coming in just a few days, it just depends on your definition of "few."

Update: Another tweet from Samsung's US account has reaffirmed that Android 3.1 will be the OS.

@blayze04 you are correct. Galaxy Tab 10.1 original was 3.0 but now it will be Android 3.1 - http://ow.ly/51E07

Good news if not unexpected. They've certainly got the time to do it. I hope some of us see it before the end of the month.

I really, really hope June 8th is still the release date. Why won't they tell us? Transformer is really tempting, because I want a tablet NOW.

Good news. I hope as a Google IO tab owner we can DL this update soon. Love the tablet.

Since the gtab won't have SD card in leaning towards transformer. But as a captivate owner it is nice to see Samsung getting on top of updates

The tweet links to this page and says that it will have a touchwiz + the other software available as a update at a later date

the transformer makes the xoom look a bit dated, i would stick to asus if your itchin for a tab THIS instant. MUCH better display (IPS), working micro-sd, possibility for native keyboard dock with 2x full size usbs & full size sd slot along with 2x the battery life.

Yes good display but poor build quality.
