Samsung have officially announced the availability of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for it's Galaxy line of devices, most notably the (first) Galaxy S (GT-i9000) and the Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy S was already receiving the Gingerbread update, at least reportedly, in Italy (due to some Blogger issues it seems my post about that story is gone). 

TechPump asks:Do you think the ChromeBook is the future of the laptop? Cast your votes now!

Aside from these devices, Samsung have also announced the Gingerbread update to the Galaxy Ace, Fit, and Mini. 
If you have any of these devices then it is time to connect them to your computers and run Samsung Kies since it will be available via the software. 
This is the news that all Galaxy owners have been looking and waiting for. And good thing for Samsung they have delivered to their promise making less customers angry.
