I assume it will come as the device has the hardware to support it but any indication of when?

Can any knowledgeable person tell us all why Samsung created 2 great tablets and then seemingly just abandoned them after only 6 to 8 months? Those two great tablets I'm referring to are the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I've read up on this but, still I can't understand why this had to happen.
I personally own two variations of the Tab 7.7 (the P6800 3G & the i815 4G versions) and if not for Cyanogenmod or Paranoid Android I would have no support for these two cool devices. Samsung just gave up on the Tab 7.7 after about 8 months. WHY IS THAT?
If anyone else out there shares my curiosity and frustration please share your thoughts. Oh can someone tell me how to get the 3G and 4G radios working on Paranoid Android version 3+? Because right now I'm stuck with Wi-Fi and that really sucks when you don't live in the USA.
Not to sure if anyone has seen this over at Sammobile, cant see any posts on in this thread in regards to it, so here is the latest update for all Galaxy tab owners.
(Since I can't post links here is the tweet).

Samsung to update the Galaxy Tab 2 until Android 4.2.2, testing on 1st Gen Galaxy Tabs
The last week of March is here and we want to start this week with some good information! Today, SamMobile received some exclusive information regarding Android updates for the Galaxy Tab. Samsung wants to update the Galaxy Tab 2 to Android 4.1.2 and stop with Android 4.2.2! Samsung is even trying the same with the first generation of the Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P7300 / GT-P7500). According to our trusted insider, Samsung is busy testing how Jelly Bean updates work on the Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 processor*. He pointed out that these tests mean nothing for now. We will keep you folks up to date about the first generation of Galaxy tablets by Samsung.
The Galaxy Tab 2 by Samsung will receive Android 4.1.2 and end with Android 4.2.2. Samsung will no longer support the Galaxy Tab 2 after the Android 4.2.2 update. The updates must be done before the end of September. The issue with Samsung’s Exynos processor has been resolved and Samsung has, once again, started to test Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmwares for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6800) and Galaxy Tab Plus (GT-P6200).
Everything sounds a bit far away but Samsung really wants to update all tablets in Q2 and Q3 to Android 4.1.2 or maybe directly to Android 4.2.2.
The insider reconfirmed. All smartphones and tablets based on a dual-core processor will end on Android 4.2.2.
* If the processor could handle the update and the test firmwares are OK.
We agree with the most of the users here on SamMobile about blaming Samsung because of the delay in updates but this sounds really good. Samsung will be the only brand with good reputation of Android updates. Remember, most tablets are already 2 years old and even Google only provides support for its device till 18 months.

Does anyone know if the i497 ATT version of the Galaxy Tab 2 that is so similar in specs to the Galaxy SIII has Bluetooth 4.0 like the Galaxy SIII? If so, it might be worth trying again to get Cyanogenmod 11 working on it since there are many toys that require Bluetooth LE or Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 4.3 or 4.4 like the MIP or AnkiDrive.. I know that the Tegra2 version do not have Bluetooth 4.0 but the i497 has Qualcomm Snapdragon with Adreno 225 like the SIII.
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8013) running android 4.1.2. I really like the software, especially the multi-window. I find that the layout is similar to a desktop. If I wanted to get the newer version of this tablet (Note 10.1 2014 Edition). Is there any way that I can get the same software experience as my older tablet. I'm talking full Samsung (or Samsung like) android 4.1 experience. I don't have a lot of background in this subject but I know that things similar to this are possible.
Ask in the 2014 forum .
I just thinking there a apps than still supports Galaxy Tab 10.1 hardware?
Many will say "Dude stop using 2011 tablet its 2022 outside"
I just ask peoples.
