The Tab has been a semi finished product that was rushed to the market to catch the first tablet wave. Still good enough for reading and surfing, of course. But why buy right before watershed changes? Would only make sense if the Tab was real cheap, which it definitely isn't.

That being said, it will probably be easy to self-upgrade the Galaxy Tab with help from XDA-Developers or other websites.
Android runs on devices that have different screen sizes and resolutions. The Galaxy Tab itself has no problems running Froyo. Even though Froyo is not optimized for tablets, it works well on the Galaxy Tab. The change(s) and additional support is for the apps which of course use the operating system to render the UI on screen.

The main issues is with "some" applications because when you are a developer and you are writing an app. you need to have the ability to sync your product for different screens: resolutions and sizes. But the Operating System itself runs without issues.
