The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is due on these shores this time next month and it looks like it’ll arrive with a new update in tow. Samsung has announced that a new Android Honeycomb version of its Touchwiz skin is in the works.

That’s likely to irk Android tablet fans hoping to get their hands on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the unsullied version of Android Honeycomb onboard. Hopefully some of the new features detailed after the break will ease their pain…

With the update, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will get a new multimedia clipboard that will copy and paste pictures and videos as well as text, a Live Panel homescreen widget to pull in news, weather and social network updates and the latest version of Swype.

The new software adds remote and wipe features which could come in handy if you’re prone to leaving your gadgets lying around and unlocks the device’s USB, SD card and HDMI functionality with more accessories.

If you were planning on picking up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, does the prospect of TouchWiz touching down on it put you off?
