During the last Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona, one of the questions asked by many of the owners of the first Samsung Galaxy Tab was whether their device could be updated to Android 3.0 Honeycomb. For now it is not something that is confirmed, and even, some rumors from Mountain View would have indicated that the tablets that were presented with versions prior to Honeycomb would not advance to the specific platform for tablets (something that, we insist, Samsung has not confirmed to us).
However, power, what is called power, seems to be possible. And it is that as we have learned through the MuyComputer colleagues, a user has been able to install the latest edition of Android (the first for tablets) in the proposal that stood up to Apple's iPad last year. It is true that it is not an official installation, nor that it works with all the precision that one would expect. But at least, it's a ray of hope for Samsung Galaxy Tab users who want to catch up with Android 3.0.
As we can see in this video, the author of the feat has not been able to do much so that the Samsung Galaxy Tab works perfectly with Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The reason, we read through MuyComputer, should be located in the type of files that the Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2 FroYo originally handles and that managed by Honeycomb. These are two different formats, so that the process of converting from one to the other would not yet be optimized to the level necessary for the first Samsung tablet to function smoothly and, above all, one hundred percent correct.
