Still hoping that's not the real deal.
Edit: I wonder how the outage will affect the graph. Nkk?

Hopefully we'll get CyanogenMod 8 soon after. But I might just like stock ICS enough to stick to it.
I'm so excited!!
not to nitpick, but in their progression, wouldn't CM8 be honeycomb and CM9 would be ICS?

+1. i wouldn't be disappointed with that device. i don't know how much "wow" factor you can pack into a black slab phone, BUT i do want a little less bezel. guess that would be a trade off for being thin enough to see through. oh well.

Honeycomb isn't open source and never will be so the cm team will probably not ever mod it so im guessing ics will be 8
Yes, I fully expect to see this in ICS. I would be SHOCKED if it wasn't.

Here you go!
Don't say I never did anything for you buddy.
Is it just me or does the fellow taking this picture look a lot like Mr. Andy Rubin himself? Are they really "angry" that one of their own leaked stuff, or is Google just playing games with us?
J/k, I know that's not Andy taking the picture and I don't want to sound insensitive to the perils of Stevens' source. Just thought the picture looked ironically like Andy himself...

But honeycomb was never open so they'll probably never build anything from honeycomb.. so the likely progression would be CM8 IMO

AHHHH. well then bring on CM8.
Edit: turns out ICS will be CM9. must be saving 8 for if they ever get their hands on honeycomb.
i'm blowing this thread up now that everyone thinks its down and i'm actually posting from my PC instead of my DX with 1X service. we need some kind of PSA so people know that its back up.

You're absolutely right. CM themselves have said that CM9 will be their next version. I don't remember the link off the top of my head, but this forum moves so fast I thought I'd better post even without the link before someone beat me to the punch....

since when? today? No SD slot, larger battery than expected. oh yeah and this thread is on Verizon/ Samsung/ Google's hit list for exposing their greatest new product. sooo. same old, same old.
Edit: and the official announcement is on October 18th (19th if you happen to live in China). AND the ICS statue is on the lawn at Google's HQ.

I am sure glad that Verizon/Samsung/Google is watching. Now they can see what it is like being on the other end of the stick.
They have screwed this up royally, and if they screw it up when it is released I think they will be screwed.
PS..News break, Verizons loyal customers are PO'ed.

World's ultimate pipe dream (only b/c it's the speculation thread and we can dream as big as we want)...
Nexus comes preloaded with CM8 variant which is essentially Vanilla with extended controls and options but no bloat. Kondik (Cyanogen) now works for Samsung. They get together with Google and work up a special deal to start PROMOTING dev greatness, flaunting it as a great thing and much of what sets us apart from Apple.
The phone of freedom.
Verizon buys in because they don't want to be left out of the greatest shift in philosophy to hit the Android scene since it's onset. That would be "something big". Iowabowtech wakes up from dream now but wasn't it the slightest bit fun to envision?

Also Verizon shut us down for an hour and bungled Steven off in a burlap sack but he escaped and got us back up. Other than that same old.

Dear Verizon,
I talked to a Moto employee who worked on the D3/DX2/Bionic/RAZR and he says the locked bootloaders are completely because of VZW demands and not Moto.
In light of that, I will tether the s*** out of you on ICS.
Security out.

I like how they made it sound like an ice cream truck.

Dream? Thats more like an epiphany. Brought a tear to my eye.
Love gentoo, I used to be a gentooist for many years, but switched to centos just for resume/work reasons. I don't miss the long compile of kde any. ;->
Tx for the 411, I think this will turn into my xmas project. I really appreciate it!
