Have you had enough news about the Nexus Galaxy yet? We haven’t either. Here’s some more good news to piggyback on. If you’ve watched the press event and you’re now wondering why in the heck your smartphone looks so old compared to Google’s new flagship, we’ve got some news that might cheer you up. Some of you anyway. If you’re rocking a Nexus S, it’s possible you could be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich on your device sooner than later. According to Engadget, they managed to get some 1 on 1 time with Google’s Gabe Cohen and Matias Duarte to confirm that the Nexus S would be receiving ICS. In addition, Gingerbread 2.3 devices made their way into the convo as well.
“Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device.”
I don’t know about you, but a mighty fine rush just shot up my spine. However, one question still remains. How is ICS going to work with devices that have hardware buttons? It’s obviously not impossible, but it definitely has to pique one’s curiosity. Stay tuned as we dig a little deeper. Penny for your thoughts?
Update: The folks over at Engadget also inquired about the Nexus One receiving ICS. They say there are “no clear plans yet”.
