QUOTE(Andrew Lim @ Feb 24 2011, 12:50 PM) I think it's only the home screen with all the useless widgets that lags (as in almost every Android phone). I bet most people here will install alternative home launchers or use the widely-praised Darky's ROM that will be ported from SGS. The main attraction is the hardware, the software can be fixed.  It's not just the homescreen. At 2:53, the guy tries to change the resolution of the camcorder recording. Took like 3 taps before the menu came up. Added on February 24, 2011, 1:17 pmAnyhow, this looks like a repeat of the original SGS: awesome specs on paper. This post has been edited by clutch31: Feb 24 2011, 01:17 PM

Wished they'd remove their god-awful TouchWiz "enhancements".

their solution is to migrate filesystem to ext4 and the device works flawlessly after that.

I wonder, if independent developers can fix it, why can't Samsung?

For video enthusuasiasts
Great news for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy S2 owners! It has been confirmed that these 2 devices will get the TwinView technology or the ability to stream TV contents. Plus it offers the dual-screen streaming functionality via Samsung remote which is its second TV Smart Touch TV remote. This big plus technology would be available for those who bought the D8000 or D7000 range of televisions. These information were announced at CES 2011.
At the Mobile World Congress during the launching of their Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung also gave some indications that this technology will also be made available to other devices. Russell Owens, General Manager at CTV & AV marketing, said that the service will be only for just the two mentioned devices as for now. He said “At the moment, from a technology point of view, we can confirm that it will be for the Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S2. The Android app should be out in March and it will offer the same functionality as the upcoming Second TV remote.”
A nice feature of this app is that it allows you to show two screens/TV channels on a Samsung mobile device. Mr. Owen added that there was a slight delay on the availability of the Smart Touch Control TV remote, which was initially decided to go with the D8000 series. It will now be as a bundled accessory after D8000 is launched.

Update : Reply from clove. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hi Eugene, We should have final pricing within the next 7-10 days. The sooner you get your order in the better. Before proceeding with any order however we will be contacting you to confirm the price and offer you the ability to go ahead or cancel the order. There is little point at this time quoting you as the price is likely to change. There will be no VAT charged. Please contact me in about 10 days for this price. Shipping in two shipments of 5 pieces is possible. We do not currently expect any other freebies or offers to be included as the profit on the device is very small. We can accept payment by credit or debit card, but for the best prices payment by Bank/Wire transfer reduces our costs, and allows us to offer better prices.
