It took two tries to get it to install successfully. It took a while for the install to complete, so be patient.
One thing that is not working is Media Hub – my GT 10.1 is not “recognized” as a device despite logging in multiple times.  My phone, a Samsung Infuse, is listed as a device. I can download movies onto the GT 10.1, but they will not “play”, since the player will only work with devices that have been added to Media Hub. Hopefully Samsung will get this fixed soon since the Media Hub is one of the new components of the upgrade.  Overall, very happy with the GT 10.1.

What you do is put everything in it’s appropriate main calendar and/or contacts folder then use tags. So I put all of my contacts in my main contact folder then tagged them. In the new contacts app at the top left there is a “Groups” option and in there it picks up all of your tags. So I simply select the “Group” / “Tag” that I want and boom the appropriate contacts show up that are tagged with the one I selected. Cool!

Weston Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:06:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=169312#comment-128646 Just been using the tab more and really like the update. The only thing missing that I can see so far is in the email app I am unable to tell it what folders I want to sync with my corporate exchange account. So for example it sync’s only my main contact folder but I have 2 other contact folders I want to sync. Same thing with email and calendar. I have multiple folders I want to sync but it is getting only the main email and calendar folders. Argh :)

Weston Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:05:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=169312#comment-128597 I just updated my GT 10.1 to the new software with TouchWiz and let me say… Samsung… Thank You!!!

This update, in my opinion, is totally sweet. The native email, calendar and contacts apps and widgets work very well and are actually cool! The stock apps suck balls so these are a very nice additions. The native email app doesn’t even have HTML. I almost went back to iPad 2 but I thought I will wait to see what the native email app, calendar, contacts look like and how they work in this new update.  Very glad I did.

The UI overall is also sooooo much better than the stock OS. Overlays are easy to use, helpful and are cool :) Just lots of stuff that was added to the overall look, feel and ease of use. Great job Samsung.
