Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 limited edition devices that were handed to attendees has started to receive the Android 3.1 Honeycomb operating system and rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets reported remain rooted even after the installation of Android 3.1 Honeycomb…………
If you were a Google IO attendee and you got to bring home the limited edition Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, you probably felt just a little bit jilted that you didn’t get the latest Android 3.1 Honeycomb and the update is rolling out to you right now! If you don’t see the update available right away, you can update manually via About -> Tablet screen in the settings and first create a Samsung account to do this, but once done the update will download and should take about 15 minutes to install and reboot. Android 3.1 brings with it the sizeable widgets, support for Google Movies through the Market, USB host support and the improved multitasking screen. But Samsung has a couple of nice surprises with the new update, as well. Samsung is actually REMOVING bloatware with an update. Device manufacturers could sure take a page from this book. Once your update is complete you will see the following removed:
- Samsung Apps
- Music Hub
- Kindle
- Weatherbug
Samsung is also putting out a warning to disable any device locks prior to the update, specifically for the IO tablet. It’s been reported via _mrbirdman_ that you will not lose root with this update either. You will need some requirements and they are below :
