Probably not soon. Samsung is notoriously slow with their updates. Also, I would assume they'd push out their TouchWiz update (which is not out yet) before a 3.2 update so I would expect it to be a while... Pure speculation though.

The release date was Aug 11, 2013, so no, no one has. I know in a year I will need a new faster one to keep up, it can't run some high in games and apps NOW. It's great LOW end tablet (low end but worth the $$). It runs JB 4.2 , 4.3 came out no update, KK 4.4 is out no update. With some games and apps using the latest new add ons from the newest android platform, makes older versions unable to run the game or app. Had mine since Oct 23, 2013. I learned the SD slot location sucks and the flex on the plastic body will make the sd card unmount. SO sd is backup and not something to count on 100%. I learn to do lots of cool stuff you got root it and void the warranty (otg cable, can plug in any usb now, keyboard, mouse and or joysticks)but that's most tablets. I learned how well a 7in fits in the hands compared to phones 4in and bigger tablets. I learned how much I love playing Gin Rummy in the outhouse and how much fun and mental work out puzzle games can be (Lazors). I learned that it will another low budget Asus that I get in 7-11 months to upgrade this one. I got my nephew 1 for Christmas, he loves it, wish I would have got another when the where on sale for $129 on here in Dec. I use it everyday but not heavy use. In a year it will not be obsolete but if I could sell it for $50 and get a new $150 2015 tablet it's worth $8 and some change a month for less headaches and a new and improved tablet.

I have updated the OS on my T103 to the 2.2 with no problems. It does work a lot smoother, however it still has most of the same quirks as before

According to this list, posted on Samsung's web site, the Galaxy Tab 3 will get a KitKat upgrade. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00059206&fm_seq=82024 You can indeed update it now, but to do so will require hackery. You could read about how to do that on www.xda-developers.com. If you're willing to wait for the official upgrade from Samsung, it should be a much easier process.

Thank you for asking this question. I ordered it forgetting there's a difference between Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab. (Did they make a Note 10.1?) I have a Tab 2 10.1 :) This saves me from having to worry about re ordering the right one because this one will work. Thanks ;)

Go to Samsung office website and search for the tablet information. They have an official update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. This is the oldest version of Jelly Bean. I did read that the 10.1 is on the list for a later update to Android 4.3

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

Officially? No. This tablet has no support by their manufacturer so that means that it won't be getting ota updates unless they decide to patch it which, last I heard, this company abandons everyone after they purchase it. The hardware is good if you happen to get one that isn't doa. If you do get this, be prepared to root it and load whatever it is you want onto it

At the present time you cannot update this tablet to Android 2.2 (or even 2.1). Unless Velocity Micro decides to make an update of the OS and decides to use Android 2.1 or 2.2 for that upgrade, you will never be able to use the later versions of Android (you could, if you knew how, root the device and try to update the OS -- I don't know how myself, and I believe that there are no instructions on the internet to do so with this tablet. Some users are pessimistic about the likelihood of there being updates that consist of a more modern Android OS. You might want to wait a while until tablets that use Honeycomb come out which should make a tablet much more functional -- since Google is designing Honeycomb to function on tablets. As you know, Android 1 and 2 were made exclusively for cell phones.

Minor updates, but not major. It will not go higher than 4.2 "Jelly Bean". I do not think ASUS is investing any time in this tablet because of its age.

From what I've read on the web, the company had initially intended to allow upgrade of the OS to Honeycomb & Ice Cream Sandwich when those roll out, but according to their website this will not now be happening. Apparently, the new OSs will not be compatible with the TC970 hardware. (They are also planning to introduce a 7" tablet in the near future, but I'm not sure of its intended OS.) Food for thought: There are tons of apps for Android 2.2 (Frodo) and TC970 is optimized to use it very well, while even Google admits that Honeycomb is glitchy and was rushed to market to keep the public interested while ICS was being fully developed. First-adopters and those whose life-interests revolve around tech toys will not care for the TC970; but for those like me who like what it does, the fact that it is not on the bleeding edge of tech development should mean very little...

This tablet is rooted so once Android releases new updates, then it should be able to apply those updates. But you would have to go into SETTINGS and check and download updates, it's not going to updates automatically.

You can't update by yourself. Irulu engineer is working on it. If they got the driver out, they will release on their official website. For now, all of tablets have been upgradet to 4.4 at this model.

I honestly don't know. My previous tab was an Ideapad. Don't know anyone with a Xoom either.

Guy in my office has the G-Tab and said this very thing. He feels there is no need to root it now unless you feel you really need more "freedom" like the full Android marketplace etc. I'm ordering mine tonight now.

They just came out with HC Alpha 7.1 with a lot of fixes..I have the 6.0 running and love it. Market is opened up and this version of HC is overclockable to 1.4 Ghz. Will be going to 7.1 soon. Flashback is the way to go on the Gtab if you want Honeycomb. I am also using cpu tuner to overclock it to 1.4Ghz (Performance setting) and it outperforms the Moto Xoom in benchmarks at 1.4 and using only 512 MB of memory vs the Xoom's 1G! This is GREAT!!!
