Samsung begins Jelly Bean rollout for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Owners of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 are in for a tasty treat today (and we’re not talking about your Thanksgiving turkey and gravy). Reports are rolling in that Samsung has begun its much anticipated Android 4.1.1 update for its popular tablet. The update is only available for the carrier-less WiFi model, and strangely enough seems to be relegated only to France for now. We’ll keep you posted as the update rolls out to other areas.

If you’re in France and have a WiFi Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, you can manually check for the update by going into your settings menu an clicking “About phone”, then “System updates”. The update is also available via Samsung Kies.

Enjoy the Jelly Bean…and your turkey and gravy! Happy Thanksgiving!

Leaked Sam’s Club Black Friday ad shows Galaxy S III price at $0.96

As we move further into the holiday season, we’re going to start hearing more rumors about phones, tablets, and the occasional Black Friday ad. Sam’s Club has recently leaked an ad for November 23rd with a few interesting deals, especially if you’re interested in picking up a new Android phone or tablet at a great price.

Samsung’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S III, will be available for only $0.96. That’s probably only the 16GB model, but for less than a dollar, who would really complain about that? So far, we know it will be available in blue and white, but there’s no word on carrier availability yet. It’s also worth mentioning that this deal is in-club only, so if you’re a primarily online shopper, you’ll have to do a little extra work to snag this deal.

If you’re not in the market for a new phone, Sam’s Club is also offering two models of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 as well. The 7 inch and 16GB 10 inch WiFi model will be on sale for $179 and $299, respectively. This deal, unlike the Galaxy S III, will be available online, so it’ll be a little more flexible to work with.

Anyone planning on upgrading their devices after seeing these discounts?

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Appears on FCC As SGH-T779

T-Mobile seems to often be late to the party when rolling out devices, or maybe it’s just my perception as an 11-year customer when they don’t offer a device I want on day-one like other carriers. However, T-Mobile seems to end up getting most of the same nice devices as the other major carriers eventually. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is no exception in this case. Revealed through FCC filing, the newest tablet in T-Mobile’s stable will be released as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SGH-T779). As is usually the case with device sightings on FCC, we will most likely see the Tab 2 on Magenta’s network within the next couple of months if not late next month. Is anyone looking forward to this particular tablet from T-Mobile? Let us know.
