Samsung starts updating Galaxy Tab 10.1 to Ice Cream Sandwich

Samsung has now finally started pushing the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to some of its tablets including the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It’s a bit ironic that in times when we’re looking forward to Jelly Bean on devices, the Samsung tablets only get ICS. That irony aside, though, it’s true that Android 4.0 is an essential update and brings compatibility with a lot of Android apps you wouldn’t otherwise be supported on earlier versions.

Samsung now reiterated that the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 7.7 Wi-Fi, Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and Galaxy Tab 7.0 with Wi-Fi are all getting bumped up to Android 4.0.

You can hook up your tablet to your computer and update via Samsung’s Kies application, or wait for the over-the-air (OTA) update to automatically appear in which case you’d need a solid Wi-Fi connection for the download.

Samsung says the next tablets scheduled for the update to 4.0 are:

GT-P6210 Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 WIFI

GT-P6200 Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 WIFI + 3G

GT-P6810 Galaxy Tab 7.7 WIFI

GT-P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 WIFI + 3G

GT-P7310 Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI

GT-P7300 Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI + 3G

GT-P7510 Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI

GT-P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI + 3G

We haven’t yet received the OTA update on our Galaxy Tab 10.1, but we’ll keep on refreshing. Have you gotten the update? Let us know below.
