Report: Samsung Re-evaluating Ice Cream Sandwich Support for Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab
Word is, nicely the rumor as of proper now, is that Samsung is supposedly re-evaluating assistance for Ice Cream Sandwich for the Galaxy S line and the 7-inch Galaxy Tab. They previously stated it was not going to happen, but if Samsung can somehow change their mind on this, a lot of men and women will be very happy!
We understand that the Galaxy S line of phones has significantly less specs then what is required to run ICS, but maybe Samsung can perform some magic and get ICS on your Galaxy S telephone. I don’t expect them to alter their mind, they have the Galaxy S2 line to perform on now, along with a handful of other flagship phones. And this is just how the engineering ecosystem operates.
Even if Samsung does make a decision to give Galaxy S owners a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich and update these phones in a timely manner, what will the US Carriers do? Like we’ve observed in the previous, carriers have haulted and even created updates not available for certain phones to force you to purchase a new phone.
But for rooted users, this is all just a waste of time, as I am confident there will be several custom ICS roms for the Galaxy S line and the original Galaxy Tab seven-inch, especially since ICS is open sourced and Honeycomb sadly never got open sourced.
Are you excited about Samsung perhaps changing their thoughts about giving Galaxy S owners some Ice Cream Sandwich?
