Ice Cream Sandwich For Samsung Galaxy S II: Not Coming On March 10, Despite Rumors

 

  

 

Sandwich, Technology News

To date, over 20 million people worldwide have bought Samsung's smashing Galaxy S II smartphone since its May 2011 release.
That's a lot of owners waiting for their Ice Cream Sandwich.
Since the release of the first Android 4.0, or "Ice Cream Sandwich" device -- Samsung's Galaxy Nexus -- in December, many Android smartphone and tablet owners have similarly been waiting patiently for their upgrades. Though ICS updates have begun to roll-out to some devices, many of the most popular Android smartphones, including the Galaxy S II, have yet to receive their official Android 4.0 upgrades.
According to a post on the Samsung FAQ webpage, the Galaxy S II had been scheduled for a worldwide Ice Cream Sandwich update on March 10; that text has since been wiped from the site, and Samsung has officially backed off the claim (on Twitter, in Korean). The tweet doesn't say exactly when the GS2 will receive Ice Cream Sandwich, only that the March 10th report was premature.
