http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate/39361-froyo-just-around-corner.html
This looks promising. Everyone would like a translation though.
Korean is my native language.
Summary:
The email says that the Froyo tests on Galaxy s phones have been completed.
And then it says there is no problem with sending out Galaxy S phones shipped with Froyo.
The attached photo there shows the test results for reference.
Updates will follow...
So, it looks like as of Sep 27, Froyo has been ready to be released to Galaxy S phones.
I would assume that Sprint likely has the update at this point. No doubt they'll take some time to add/test their bloatware. Here's hoping we see a leak soon.
i am waiting for a leak
You realize, of course, there's a difference between the international Galaxy S (that this most likely applies to) and the US variants (that it most likely does not). Not to mention there are differences BETWEEN the US variants themselves. I wouldn't take any document concerning a Galaxy S phone to be applicable unless it names the Epic or at least mentions CDMA somewhere.

Yes. It would still be a fair assumption that our build's development would not be far behind if not in lockstep with the build mentioned in the email. It would look very bad to have half of the Galaxy S phones running 2.2 while the others remained on 2.1. Samsung has done worse things though.
I'm thinking they wouldn't care too much about having the I9000 updated for a while before any of the US versions considering it was released a few months before any of them. I do agree that the Vibrant and possibly the Captivate will most likely see their Froyo release within a month of the I9000, but I'm thinking we won't see any action until a bit after that due to our CDMA radio.

CDMA has been natively supported in Android since 1.6, so I'm really hoping that doesn't become the case. There just wouldn't be an excuse for it and would be terribly bad form on Samsung's part.
EDIT: One thing that I thought Samsung did very well was, while making the phone available on virtually every major carrier, keeping the 'Galaxy S' branding on them all. I think that the update becoming available at different times for each carrier would serve only to confuse the consumer and really hurt the brand. Hurting the brand would not be smart while they simultaneously launch the Galaxy Tab. That's just my two cents though.
If anything they should hoard the updates until they're all done, and then release them all at once. Perhaps that's what they're doing and how the Captivate's leaked build originated. </speculation>

I read that Samsung is trying to update all Galaxy S (worldwide) at the same time. However, the actual time in US will be determined by the carrier.

has been 2 weeks since 27 Sept. No official news from Samsung.
If the email refers to JPK, then I'm very worry, because it simply won't work with Exchange.
Well, this news and including the fact that they are releasing the Samsung Galaxy 551, a Samsung with slide-out keyboard, in Europe with Froyo in November:

Thanks.
FYI, this phone has no relationship to Galaxy S line. There are many Samsung Galaxy lines: A, S, U, etc. They all have different hardware.
One good sign is that they got Touch Wiz 3 in landscape mode.
I have a concern regarding future update. I recently read an article about a Samsung Galaxy K phone coming to Korean with 2.2. I'm just curious how long do you think Samsung with support the current Galaxy S platform? Or is this Galaxy K going to replace the Galaxy S phone and Samsung will drop support for the Galaxy S? Will we even get 3.0? Samsung promised 2.2 by the end of the year but never said anything about 3.0. Anyone?

Just read about Galaxy K. It's a lower spec than S series but with 2.2.
Samsung can't promise 3.0 because nobody has seen it. No manufacture has promised 3.0 yet. There are rumors about 3.0 requirement and if it's true Galaxy S satisfies it.
If Samsung can't deliver 3.0, I'm sure the dev team will. That's why I have bought Epic over Transform.
From ComputerWorld
"Samsung Galaxy S [UPDATED 4/7/11]: All signs point to Gingerbread being in the cards for Samsung's popular Galaxy S line of phones. That includes the Samsung Captivate on AT&T, Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint, Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile, and Samsung Fascinate on Verizon (which as of now has yet to even receive Froyo). Rumors started popping up in January that some Galaxy S phones could see an Android 2.3 upgrade as early as March or April. Samsung's official Samsung Mobile India Twitter account, meanwhile, has stated numerous times that the Galaxy S will receive Gingerbread -- version 2.3.3 -- but that a definite launch date has not been set. Samsung's Romanian Facebook page has issued similar promises. In late March, software said to be a leaked version of Samsung's official Galaxy S Gingerbread update surfaced on an Android developers' forum, heightening speculation that a rollout could be near. In addition to all of that, Samsung's Finnish site has now posted a news release stating that Gingerbread will reach Galaxy S handsets "in mid-April.""
Another good article to read from Lifehackerwith a spreadsheet of release dates.
-Troll
lol "Troll".
Well, let's see, even if gingerbread were CLOSE to being released, don't think of the Galaxy S as a sign.
First of all, the Galaxy S is Samsung's MAIN FLAGSHIP device, AND Galaxy S's are only released in Europe, I believe.
So therefore, even if Samsung had a finished product of 2.3 for us by mid-april, Sprint's going to have to add their crap to it and **** it up some more, make it even more buggier than Samsung achieved, and send an OTA that will have to be pulled the day after it comes out because it'll fry people's phones. SOOO, if we WERE to get Gingerbread, I'd say by August-Mid September at the earliest.
Sorry for bringing your hopes down...just stating the facts.

It says Galaxy S, I know. But we do not have the Galaxy S i9000, we have a phone in the same "family" as the Galaxy S i9000, but that is the first and main focus of Samsung's Galaxy S family. And I know we will get the update sooner or later, I'm just saying don't give your hopes up for a release this month.
I think Im more excited about cm7 than an official gingerbread from Samsung

Looks like more pundits taking 'twitter' as a valid source... and one for OTHER COUNTRIES that use the i9000.... the SAME as the rumor about froyo from what, samsung Twit UK??? None of the Twits in the article said anything about the US variants, just the writer of the article... typical... tech media reach so far for a story. Besides, I wouldn't even trust a US Twit, look at the SamsungJohn thing... they could just be sharing their feelings like when they talk about how good their sushi was today... social networking crap isnt news, its crap. Facebook is not a government insider... its just a site for douchebaggery.
+1 on CM and MIUI! But GB source for them would be good, no?
I'd expect a GB port from the Nexus S 4G long before we get anything official...

Seeing how long it took the Galaxy S to get Gingerbread, I'll take this chart with a heaping tablespoon of salt.
Also, no way will the Nexus S get ICS after the S2 (one of the benefits of a pure Google device is quicker updates).

It's certainly a nice table someone put together. The site's done in broken english and there's no source for the information. The info's not provided anywhere else on the web and while all the devices listed were previously announced by Samsung as being upgraded they refused to provide a timeline. And ICS for the SGS2 in four to six weeks, seriously? The Nexus, the ICS launch phone, isn't even going to be released in the U.S. until December. Color me skeptical.

As much as I would love to believe this, I can't.

However I think January 23 is when it will be rolled out.

They refer to Verizon. What about WiFi-only GT 10.1 devices? ICS this yes? LOL
The Verizon version will have camera drivers which are basically all that is lacking from making CM9 perfect.
I think it´s sad that the mobile providers are this slow pushing new software to their customers. Google already moved on to Jellybean :-/

ICS will never be released for galaxy tab 10.1
I think that ICS will never be released for galaxy tab 10.1. The main difference between galaxy tab 10.1 and galaxy tab 2 10.1 (besides mechanics) is that it works with ICS. If the old tab will have ICS there is no reason to buy tab 2. Since they want to make profits from tab 2 they need to keep older OS on older tablet.

Im not in marketing deparment but im related to android development of tablet and cellular devices. And I strongly beleive that the same ICS version that runs on tab 2 should also fit older tab. So the only reason they delay it or postpone are marketing issues that im not aware of. Also the anouncement is hardly mentioned on the internet and the ICS should have been delivered along time ago.
Have you ever thought why Samsung released ginger breads for Galaxy S on all international versions, while TMobile vibrant version still runs Froyo?
Meh...
If we get a working camera driver out of it, not that big of a deal. We have several ICS options that kick ass and the only thing missing really is working cams
