Finally confirmation, no SD card, Tegra 2, white or grey, 3.1, TouchWiz UI will come as a later OTA update:

To be honest I can't why it's such a problem. Just get one with 32GB. You can put an awful lot on one of those. Personally it's fine for my use and I've never gone over 18GB on my Galaxy Tab.
Good question. It's selling point, although just epeen some for geeks, “look at how much memory it’s got”. It’s there because some phones just did not have the memory and required an expansion slot so it’s included in the package. The spec looks good if it’s still there in new devices. There is nothing wrong with having one but if you provide higher spec’d models then why bother. I would have thought that for most of the buying public 16GB would be sufficient. Swings and roundabouts with this topic
.
In this case the desire to have the lightest tablet has probably been the driver for Samsung not to include a slot. I think they've gone in the right direction with this one but should have upped the ante and just gone with 32GB model.
Anyway are you going to go for one of these or something else?
is it a full size SD card on the 3g one? If so that's really useful to be able to view pictures from a camera on the fly on a good screen
No microSD card slot, there may be one on the planned expansion adapter.
Grabs popcorn.

Can you afford to get it replaced or repaired, what if it’s damaged out of the box. Weigh up the risks. It’s probably worth waiting just a little longer. The choice is yours.
More appetite whetting:
It's lighter, sleeker, thinner, PLS screen, and great build quality. In fact it's the Rolls-Royce of Honeycomb tablets. I forgot, I can hold it in one hand.
A first look at the accessories, start at 1:55. Even a case with a bluetooth keyboard:
There may still be hope for some of you. From XDA:
As expected the launch 10.1 WiFi model has the same hardware as the I/O version and has 3.1:

The 3.1 update has arrived.
Downloaded and updating slowly as we speak.
It get it go Settings->About Tablet->Software Update->Check for Updates.
The download is quick but the update is very slow in places.

My only gripe with the update is that they've got rid of the Android wallpapers and added the Samsung ones but I’ve got my old desktop back.

Oh well... at least your only worry is missing wallpapers... mine is not having a tab in the first place
It's not having a case now.
Your wait will be worth it.
The only thing I've seen from the UK about a date is this:

I wouldn't take any of these experiences seriously either. I'm running a 10.1 (with 3.1) and apart from the odd app the daily hands on experience is as one would expect it to be.
