[Q] Question about wi-fi only galaxy tab

Can I install any ROM on the wi-fi only Galaxy Tab? or do I need to use a particular ROM for it?

Wifi-only Tab (P1010) is a completely different beast from 3G (P1000 CDMA or GSM) Tabs.
It has different CPU (Texas Instruments OMAP) and other hardware and no 3G ROM will work on it. It requires different kernel and I am not even sure whether partition layout is the same. All it shares with P1000 is form factor and name.

@technomancer. Dude, im from philippines and im using a galaxy tab gt-p1000 korea. Can i change it to gingebread 2.3?

Well that really sux. So unless devs pick up the wifi model its not going to look so great in terms of rooting and development. I will hold back and see what happens first.

Being a complete noob to all of this I'm confused about the hardware differences between the wifi Tab and the phone Tabs. The PDAnet database lists the wifi with a Samsung-Intrinsity S5PC110 CPU which is apparently identical to a bunch of other Tab phones (ie. Verizon Samsung SCH-i800 Galaxy Tab 7.0, NTT DoCoMo Galaxy Tab 7.0 SC-01C). Is the database wrong, or is there something about CPU manufacturing I don't understand?
Again, I'm just askin' cause I'm completely new to all of this stuff. After one week I really love my brand new wifi Tab, but I can see how I might like to play around with it after awhile. Hopefully you guys won't have to start from scratch for wifi development?

[Q] Which is the best model for hacking?

I discovered there are multiple models of the Galaxy Tab 7", and I want the best one for rooting/romming/modding etc. Basically I need to root it, allow it to connect to an ad-hoc network, take out some unnecessary features like Samsung's pre-installed software that I can't uninstall, and make the most out of the tab because I plan on keeping it several years.
I currently have the GT-P1000, but I live in America and it's not the most convenient version with the European power supply and constant request by the tablet to put in a SIM card. I want to get the Verizon version but I've seen various things on how well it's been hacked. If I were to get an American version, which one would be the best for modding?

Definately get the ATT version. Its basically like the European tab with some branding. Most of the firmwares and kernels are made for GSM tabs and work perfectly with this tab. Its super easy to root and upgrade the firmware to gingerbread. I know from experience (its the tab that I have)

[Q] Wifi only vs 3G

Hi, just seeking some advice.
I currently own the Samsung galaxy tab 7" p1010 Wifi only,which is think is brilliant. however i have brought vaious accessories such as a bluetooth keyboard and the offical Samsung video out cable that are said to work with the galaxy tab, but after trying they donot work with the wifi only verson.
I live in the UK but will soon being going to america on holiday, im considering buying as 3G verson while i am out there as it should be considerably cheaper.
Can anyone confirm either of the the following issues i may encounter?
will it work in the UK with a UK sim if i buy it in america?
will the accessories i have already pucheased actually work on the 3G verson?
what is the Latest Offical firmware for the 3G verson?
(I do not wish to Root my device just incase anything goes wrong)
Any help would be greatly appericated.

3. The 1010
4. 8.9 inch version
5. 7.7 inch version
6. 5.4 inch version
7. A new 7 inch version SGT + (or is this the same as the 7.7 ??)
