Samsung Galaxy Tab may get Android Gingerbread/Honeycomb Update

A bit unbelievable but Samsung India has recently confirmed that they intend to upgrade the Samsung Galaxy Tab to Android Gingerbread and Honeycomb, after Google releases the official updated for the mobile operating system. This is definitely great news as Android 2.2 is not at all a tablet friendly operating system and it needed some serious updates.

The news comes from Samsung Hub, as they mention an unnamed Samsung executive confirming these upgrade plans, later updating the post by saying that folks from Samsung contacted them saying they cannot assure anything about future updates but will be working hard to keep the Galaxy Tab updated.

So,Android Gingerbread is expected to make an appearance by the end of this year and if the hardware requirements by Google are not really intense, the upgrade won’t be much of a problem for Samsung. Also, Samsung has previously mentioned that they would hope to update the Galaxy Tab in the future, but it is very obvious that they will need some time to build their interface around the new upgrade.
