Buying Apps: Wait for ICS?

I have a Transformer Prime, so right now it is running Honeycomb, but will soon be upgrading to ICS. If I am looking at purchasing apps such as QuickOffice Pro, which cost a fair amount, am I better off waiting for apps that will be updated specifically for ICS, or will those only be released later in the year?
 
Most apps should work fine. However you can just buy the apps now if you need it, then NOT update to ICS until the apps have updated to ICS.
 
thanks for the insight. i guess my main questions though is whether most apps will be formatted for ICS within the first half of this year or not til later.
 
Most likely they would. The SDK for ICS has been released since October, and its been 2mos since ICS was officially out for the Nexus S and GNex, and clean ICS ROMS have been already available.
 
No need to hold off, apps are updated. Most developers for major apps will have app support for all OS versions, especially if it's an app that is bringing in a lot of money. Why take a chance losing thousands of dollars all because you didn't simply provide an update that allowed your app compatibility with another OS version. Only thing you should be waiting for is a sale to be honest, but if getting the app is something urgent just buy it.
