TouchWiz ... oh dear, an immediate turn off.

I have a Google Nexus S with stock Android 4, and that works perfectly.

I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with TouchWiz which I seriously regret. The interface is terrible, and unless you reboot it every couple of hours it just grinds to a halt on its own. And there's no CM9 for the Tab yet ...

Fully agreed, I had the same setup of phones, went from a HTC Desire with SenseUI to a Nexus S with stock android, to a SGS2 with TouchWiz, the Nexus S with stock ICS was by far the best. I now use a galaxy nexus with stock ICS, imo the best phone around, the SGS2 is purely got Boot2Gecko work now

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 felt pretty terrible with Honeycomb + touchwiz, I would be interested in what a stock android tablet experience feels like, although with androind tablets the lack of apps was also a pretty big factor in why it felt terrible compared to an Ipad

It seems like we're due for a new Google Flagship Tablet device soon, though I haven't seen any news to that effect yet.

There are nightlies, which are pretty solid and usable. http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi

Thanks for the tip. I have now rooted and installed CM9 p4wifi on my Tab. It's like having new hardware, it's that much better.
