The TouchWiz update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has gone live, being pushed out OTA to the 10-inch slate this morning just as the company promised. Previewed in an NYC event earlier this week, the new software adds the custom TouchWiz UI Samsung has developed for tablets (and which you can see in video form after the cut) along with various enterprise-centric features, some new apps and the addition of Swype.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 has officially arrived in the UK, with the WiFi-only version of the slate on sale today, while the 3G-enabled variant is due to hit carrier shelves on August 23. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 has found itself a (tentative) release date, in the UK at least, with online retailers suggesting the 3G version of the slate is expected from August 12.

What looks to be Fusion Garage‘s JooJoo 2 has been caught clearing the FCC, the company’s second attempt at the fast-growing tablet segment. Details on the currently unnamed tablet are scant, thanks to a confidentiality agreement that lifts at the end of November, though the test report does confirm the device to be a “smart mobile tablet PC” with dualband WCDMA/HSDPA, WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR.

It appears that HTC's newest effort in the Android business has been revealed in real live photo form. That or there's a rather talented mock-up artist amongst us creating a masterpiece when they should be working for HTC. This tablet takes a step away from their previous tablet, the HTC Flyer, in that it's not White (though it's HTC EVO View brother certainly isn't either), and that it's got one solid piece covering the entirety of its back instead of the EVO-ish three piece situation. This tablet will almost certainly be released before the dropping of Androids 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich this fall, and will therefor be running something along the lines of Android 3.1 or 3.2 Honeycomb upon release.
