Its a little more cartoony compared to stock honeycomb and the sci-fi look but overall not bad. Hopefully it doesn't slow down the updates like touchwizz does on Samsungs smartphone offerings. Time will tell.
How do I get touchwizz to work, like get the weather and what not to display?

I had to do a full erase, no biggie nothing important saved. My Tablet got real SLOOOOOW. Once I performed the full erase I got the weather and few other things to show up on my main desktop. Love the new dock.
The weather thing is just a widget. Long press on the screen and you'll get a menu for that stuff. The rest of touchwiz, the new browser, the quick links at the bottom of the screen, the toggle widgets in the system tray...all are automatic.
Rod likely got his automatically because he factory restored his...and that'll be default from the factory from now on.
DB I used the tablet to check for an update, it found it and that's how I did the update. Like I said my Tablet got real slow so after the update I just did a factory reset.

Umm...that's how it's supposed to work. My point is...the weather widget doesn't show up automatically for those of us who updated that way and just left our tablet as is. You have to add the weather, email, gallery, etc. widgets yourself when you do this. You however, factory reset your device w/ the new software on it, thus you get it how you'd get it from the factory with those weather and other widgets included as part of the original software installation.
Is this the stop gap to 3.2? I thought there was going to be a 3.2 update like the Xoom got?
It's not a stop gap...it's just a firmware update to add software features that Samsung didn't get finished in time for release. 3.2 will hit eventually.

Here's a question for those with tablets and Honeycomb I thought of this morning. Is there a way to have separate accounts, a la Windows on the tablet?
I haven't heard anything, but thought someone might know who's used them.
I was thinking this morning that if I got a tablet, of course I'd have to share it with the wife. (booooooo) So I was wondering if there was a way to have each of us set up with the way we like the homescreens, the gmail accounts, etc, or if it would have to be shared across the board, with us manually signing in to our mail, facebook, etc accounts?
Yeah...you can't have separate accounts really unless the app supports it. A lot do...but the tablet and market are only associated with one Google account which could be an issue.

Too bad they don't have a logoff button. One thing I didn't try was creating a non-google account to see if the Tablet would let me switch between both.
Do you guys notice a slow down after awhile? After i'm downloading apps, opening them etc if I try and move a shortcut it's not very smooth almost like a videogame that's suffering from framerate issues. Even if I clear memory via task manager or close running tasks it doesn't help. The only thing that helps is restarting the Tablet.

Thanks for confirming the slowdown and yeah I forgot to mention NO more force close. DB hasn't mentioned any slowdowns so I assume he must be overclocking his Tab.

Mine doesn't slow down so nnot sure what you are doing or what software you installed that is causing it. Must just be you. Lol. Rookies.
The slow down is where if you try and move icons to a different place on the screen they move real sluggish and slow. Overall the Tablet gets bogged down until I do a reboot. It happened right after I did a system update and it's happened again after the update.
What do I have on my system? Aldiko book reader, Kindle, Angry Birds, Tunein, and a few other games.
