Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread update on the way
By Vlad Bobleanta on 31 Oct 11Despite selling many newer tablets, even made by Samsung, it looks like Verizon still hasn’t forgotten about the original Galaxy Tab from yesteryear. The first mainstream Android-powered tablet may be running an OS version designed for phones, but it’s still hanging in there. And Verizon has finished prepping an update to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread for this particular tablet.
The update documents are up on Big Red’s website, which means that the rollout should start within the next few days (if we’re lucky) or weeks (if we’re not). Let’s hope for the former.
Aside from the platform update to Android 2.3.5, original Galaxy Tabs sold by Verizon will also benefit from a slew of performance enhancements and bug fixes. The full list of benefits of the update is available in this PDF.
The update will come over-the-air, so you can apply it without using a computer. For full update instructions, refer to this PDF.
