Um, because it's new?

I understand that. But if that can have 3.2 and touchwiz why not ours?

What he said!
Who says that the 7.7 has Tegra 2? It might be totally different?
Also, they didn't say that the software was ready yet did they?

---

Nevermind. It was late when I read the article. Samsung has something on it called android 3.2v. No one seems to know what that means.

Samsung won't announce when the 7.7 will be released until Oct. I would suspect the 10.1 will get 3.2 about the same time as the 7.7 goes on sale.

---

There was a thread by pershoot about porting 3.2, but there hasn't been any news for a while now.

---

The 7.7 will be running a 1.4ghz Dual-core Processor so it won't be Tegra2.

---

I read that the 7.7 has an exynos processor, so very different than ours.

---

I think the 3.2 update added support for the smaller screen tablets and that's why you see 3.2 on the 7.7

Really easy: Its a pre release firmware that doesnt nessesarily have all the bells and whistles, like optimized battery time, bootup time, optimal 3G etc... Stuff that is not needed in a showroom. 3.2 will come to the 8.9 and 10.1.
the V addon to the 3.2 means that the phone has a dialler, and is a customized build of 3.2.
Here's a small screenshot of the upcomming update to 3.1:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see they have been testing a configurable firewall in a testing build of the upcomming update. (sorry the pic is in finnish). And I surely hope it will make it to the final build.

PhantomHacker will release a vanilla 3.2 ROM soon, without the TouchWiz garbage. Don't forget to donate.

Who would use the tablet as a phone? Hope it has one heck of a speaker.

With Bluetooth, you don't even need a speaker. Sony Ericsson MW600s and Google Voice (via Groove IP) works fairly well on my WiFi-only GTab. If I didn't have the Charge, a 4G LTE GTab might have been workable.

Actually I have used my 7" Galaxy Tab as a phone a few times with a Bluetooth headsed or with the handfree set that comes with the tab.
There are some situations when its useful, especially when you have to read something from the tab at the same time etc.
But I would not do it in a regular basis.
