Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Android 4.1, JellyBean Update Source Code Released
The Android 4.1, JellyBean update source code for the AT&T variant of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 has been uploaded by Samsung this week.
The company normally makes these codes available to developers just before the launch of a device. They use it to create new applications and programs for the software.
Samsung also released the source codes for the Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
AT&T announced that it would be officially launching the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 on Nov. 9 this week.
The carrier will offer the tablet for $499.99. There will also be a special promotion on the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Samsung ATIV smart PC as AT&T will give customers purchasing a new Galaxy smartphone with a 2-year agreement $100 off those devices.
The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 runs Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and features on-device encryption and VPN access to ensure the tablet is efficient for business.
"Customers purchasing tablets from AT&T have more options in choosing the plan that's right for them and their mobile devices," said the carrier in a press release. "With new AT&T Mobile Share plans, new and existing customers can share a single bucket of data across smartphones, tablets and other compatible devices."
