Some 16/32GB Tabs have appeared on the rainforest.

At last, my Samsung Book Case has been ordered.

The case is just right:

turns into a stand:

and slightly angled for typing:

All the ports are accessible and just right for travel.

nice...

still set fore August release in UK?

I’ve not heard anything and would assume that it is. Maybe they’re waiting to ship them with TouchWiz UX. You would have thought that production would have been sorted out by now. I really can't see why they are delaying for so long.

Shame it ends up upside down when using it in angle mode, and applications like YouTube cannot rotate by 180 degrees

It's not a show stopper and they'll get round to changing one of these days.

As far as videos are concerned, it plays all the AVI files I have thrown at it (I use Mobo Player with hardware decoding). HD files (MKVs) will need encoding as only 1 of the 7 or so 720p/1080p music videos I tried actually worked, but after a quick encoding job they worked flawlessly.

I haven’t played many videos but those that I have played have been faultless. Again I’ve also been using Mobo Player. I heard that TouchWiz UX comes with more codecs so more encoding may not be necessary.

Someone has received the TouchWiz UX updated and it appears the it will be coming in the next two weeks.

Any recommendations on cases? Got a £20 gift voucher to spend on that rainforest site.

Two of us have the official Samsung Book Case (see a few posts above) but it is not available on the rainforest. There won’t be many around until it’s launched here.

Looks like the UK release date is 04/08 and starting at £399 at the purple shirt place for the 16GB.

Google Video update came in this morning with a 11.22MB download. One minute update followed by a one minute reboot. System message, “Device updated to P7510UEKG4” App called "Videos" has been added.

Android Version:

I might have guessed, video rentals not available in your country but all your personal videos appear in the app.

It appears that the purple place and food shop have delivered UK ones today ahead of tomorrow's launch.

Cosimo · 3 Aug 2011 at 09:08

Is anyone heading to the Tottenham Court Road launch event tonight?

Nope, because I already have my tablet

I was going to see if they had any accessories but it's just going to be too hot to go into town.

I want the USB and SD Card Adaptors, but I am hoping that someone will make an all in one

I want those too but don't mind if they are separate. It's 29°C at present and I'm not going to see what they have. The ad in the paper said the first fifty customers will get £100 worth of free accessories today. It looks like a good deal if you can get it.

Am I right in thinking that currently the purple guys have an exclusive on this to start with? and if so is there any information on when that runs out and it becomes available from more sources?

It looks that way but who can tell. It’s officially out tomorrow so we should see within the week if anyone else has got for sale.
