[Jesslynh]

Samsung announced on it's Google+ page that the GALAXY Note, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will soon be rolling out ICS.

This is after GALAXY S II update that started yesterday.

Been a loooong wait since November.

Not much to say, what we already know that the Tab is part of the next ICS roll out.

Sadly the blue text and below was the quote. But it did make me happy.

Just saw this rumor on XDA:

My local samsung representative wrote on their facebook that gt8.9 and gt10.1 will get ICS update in May.

Is this the 3G version only or the WiFi as well?

Original article here:

List of Bell Android 4.0 updates appears with timelines for each device

If Bell is rolling it out in June, maybe Samsung will roll it out in May or even April.

We can hope, but my track record with Samsung devices is not great. I'll believe it when I see it, not a second before.

They have made promises they never kept before.....

I haven't had my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 on for the past few days, but when I turned it on today, I'm getting a "Downloading" message on the main screen. It's been on for about 30 minutes. Is this the ICS Upgrade?

I don't know what it was doing, but I did a hard reset and it's back to normal (?).

 

[Jesslynh]

I haven't heard of any updates going out. Perhaps you got an update to Honeycomb?

I think it was just locked up. Hard reset fixed it. Thanks!

The ICS upgrades will be starting very soon in Canada, and then for the rest of us. It looks like Sammy has done their work and now it's up to the carriers.

Galaxy series ICS updates arriving from today, says Samsung Canada

More sad news on the delayed ICS update from Samsung, this time from a user at XDA:

Samsung Facebook has announced July as the release month now.

Typical. Will be September then!

Do you think it's worth rooting it or waiting for Samsung to release ICS?

 

[CafeKampuchia]

Check out the answer inn my signature I think I rooted it about one week after I bought it!

I'd probably screw it up and brick the thing so I guess I'll wait.

Naaaah, this device is easy to work with and hard to brick.

In any case, I missed this article at Android Central:
TELUS offers up revised ICS device update schedule

So it looks like late July.

That's the date for Telus people to get the update right? Doesn't that typically meant that the WiFi version will get it sooner? Without a carrier needing to approve the software, upgrades usually hit WiFi Only versions first.

At this point, were not counting on anything. Sammy has been late on lots of releases.
