Quick answer: No
Long answer: Yes, but you'll have to "root" your device (gain privelaged access to the software in order to install an unsupported update)
You can find instructions on how to update devices to Froyo (Android 2.2) on the Internet, but this will almost certainly void your warranty.
Saying that, if something does go wrong with the hardware, it's trivial to flash the old version back on and there's no way they can know you ever upgraded.0 -
Froyo Android 2.2 is already out and Samsung for one have confirmed that the TAB will be upgradable past 2.2 .
But cheap Android tablets may not be upgradable past whatever they came installed with .
