Samsung will update the most of their tablets to Android 4.0
We from SamMobile tweeted before that the most updates will come in July and August
If you have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI and you live in the USA you will be able to update your tablet.
You can use Samsung KIES or OTA for this update. Make sure the WIFI is on for OTA updating.
If you want to flash your tablet is this also possible. Go to www.SamFirmware.com and download.
Please flash only your own country

Only waiting on the Tab 8.9 now, I believe.

At least Samsung released it.Motorola still hasn't updated the Xyboards to ICS despite the fact that they were released several months after ICS, are running stock Android so there is no custom skin to port, and are based on the ICS reference platform so they don't even need to port it to new SoC.

Not to mention custom roms are not an option thanks to the locked bootloader.

Aren't the Xoom and Xyboard practically the same thing, except one being Verizon branded with 3G/4G tacked on?
ICS has been available on the Xoom for a while now. Sounds like Verizon is mainly the one to blame here, and not necessarily Motorola. There's certainly shared blame to go around, but I don't believe Motorola is the one mainly at fault.

Verizon's Xyboard has a locked bootloader, but the Wifi Xoom does not? Interesting to know.

No. The XyBoards are very different than the Xoom. The XyBoards are based around OMAP4430s and use IPS screens, and a lightly skinned HoneyComb 3.2 build. The WiFi only versions are simply called 'Motorola XyBoards' while the Verizon versions are called 'Droid XyBoards.' Neither has been updated to ICS. Both the 10.1 and 8.2 have locked bootloaders. And very small dev communities.

The Xyboard 8.2 and 10.1 are the US market versions of the Xoom 2 Media Edition and Xoom 2 while the Droid Xyboard 8.2 and 10.1 are the Verizon LTE models.

I'm sure Verizon is to blame for the slow updates on the Droid Xyboards but that isn't a valid excuse for the Xoom 2/Xyboard which are wifi only.
