I doubt anyone has any actual information on this, but I'm still curious whether you believe the N1 will get an official update to Ice Cream Sandwich, or is it going to die with android 2.3.x?
all signs point to icecream sandwich dropping the hardware buttons like honeycomb, so it seems weird that ANY phones will get icecream sandwich
or if they do, youll have this useless row of buttons there? i dont know
I bet there will be a different version with no software keys for existing android devices.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Im sure the buttons will still work.
Yes I think so
Google said that Ice cream sandwich will be to integrate all the android devices into a single OS platform. They said that it'll not have any minimum hardware requirements and will work with all android devices. So lets hope all the phone get an update!
If the nexus s gets ics then the nexus one should too, they are practically the same. I think we will get ics
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
No one can say for sure as Google hasn't said either way.
But, the Nexus One IS still the official Google developer phone, so if I had to make a guess at this point, I would say yes.... unless they plan on launching a new Nexus device with Ice Cream, kind of like they did with Gingerbread... but I think we'll still get it, just have to wait a bit as with GB.
At least I hope. I love my N1 and I still have yet to fine a phone worthy of replacing the Nexus One.
I'm not very sure it will get it. As of GRJ22 there are 17 MB available on the system partition. And there are a lot of APIs to catch up to (honeycomb+ICS)
Not really sure on if it will get official ice cream either, well officially. It will definitely get here through a custom mod.
I hope we get Ice Cream too

They ARE, NOT THE SAME! NOT EVEN CLOSE! yes they both have 1ghz processors and they are nexus phones but that's all they share one is made by htc with a snapdragon processor the other is made by samsung and has a.hummingbird processor. (i should know I have both) even with the same ROM and settings they feel very different... imo...
Do I think the N1 will get Ice Cream yes. But please for the love of all that's good STOP SAYING THEY ARE THE SAME (ALMOST THE SAME)

put it this way... the G1 runs 2.2, we walk on the moon, we give millions of dollars to Justin Bieber, Obama got elected (had to)
Anything is possible.
Leaked specs show it to be just another Galaxy S phone but with Gingrbread. Also, since it has support for T-Mobile's AWS bands, the modem should probably work, too. It's basically the Vibrant but with a front-facing camera (which we can mod in anyways). I'll be shocked if there isn't a port within days of the Nexus S being released. And hell, Samsung and T-Mo should make the damn firmware downloadable to us! (OK, that last part will never happen...well, not officially

I mean, this is the exact same phone we have but with the front-facing camera installed.
So can we get the rear camera to work with no banding with some firmware from this being ported over? I think that's the best thing of porting over some stuff from this phone.

Not directly @donut, but...
The point of it being a NEXUS is that it is the most open phone. The nexus is the android development phone. It is pure android with all support coming straight from google! Everyone should hope this is not just a rumour. This would hopefully get us 2.3 & more on the fast track.
Of course there are specifics that may not translate but here's to hoping : cheers:!

Well said. The phone is real. All we need is to confirm the hardware is exactly the same (except the camera part). If the hardware is the same, that makes things easier. As the ROM chefs/devs here have shown, porting is doable among Galaxy S phones with the hardware being so similar.

If this (http://androidandme.com/2011/08/news/13-things-we-might-see-with-the-release-of-android-4-0-in-q4/) is correct, any phone running 2.3 should be able to handle ICS.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's interesting at least that we may start getting hints as to what lies ahead for both Android phones and tablets. I'm sure the CM folks will end up porting, so we'll likely see it on the EVO 4G at some point.
Looks like it's mostly UI changes though. Wish they'd posted a screenie of the Gmail app changes; I love the app but the look of it is plain and ugly.
I honestly doubt the Evo will get ICS, we barely got GB, and its not like that OTA was welcomed with open arms.

The Nexus S supports ICS so our Vibrants should run it just fine. A Nexus S is basically the same hardware as a Galaxy S with NFC support. Unfortunately I don't think we'll be getting any official ICS from Samsung. We have yet to even see Gingerbread, although Tmobile also has a say in it. I've already decided to either get the Samsung Hercules or Nexus Prime to replace my age old Vibrant. I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime simply for first-served updates directly from Google.

I could really care less about Ice Cream Sandwhich for the Vibrant.

Touchwiz already offers GPU-acceleration in its launcher and browser, and for the most part, the current Honeycomb GPU acceleration is still lacking compared to that of iOS or WP7 (app drawer, screen rotation, and homescreen animation still lags a little).

Yes, it is going to make Android the same across all Nexus branded platforms. Touchwiz, Sense, and Blur are not going anywhere and the manufacturers still have to modify ICS for each individual device. The Galaxy S is done for official support, period. Samsung is not making any more money from the original Galaxy S compared to the SII; most owners of the original have or will already have switched devices so Samsung has no true need to update the international version. Google's 18 month update suggestion was what it was, a suggestion, and by the time December comes, the Galaxy S is about 18 months old anyways.

Ive also heard that any device capable of running GB will be able to run ICS, however the only thing that may hold the phone back is the limited ram :/

Maybe here ?
"At Google I/O I asked the Android team if Ice Cream Sandwich had any special hardware requirements that would prevent it from running on existing smartphones. They didn’t name specific handsets, but we were told that most phones which could run Android 2.3 would be able to handle the update. That doesn’t guarantee anything for current Android smartphone owners, but we expect Google’s own Nexus One and Nexus S will be some of the first devices upgraded to Android 4.0."
source: androidandme.com
This is interesting too:
"If you are a fan of custom ROMs, then you will be happy to know that Google plans to release Ice Cream Sandwich to the Android Open Source Project. Google typically releases the source code to each version of Android a few months after it debuts on a new device, but they chose not to do this with Honeycomb. Andy Rubin said Google wanted to prevent developers from putting the software on phones “and creating a really bad user experience. We have no idea if it will even work on phones.”
Ice Cream Sandwich will be available for the development community to hack to their hearts’ content and I’m sure we will see CyanogenMod 8 a month after the source code is public."
...............And maybe that Samsung could surprise us with a ICS firmware for i9000...
I think our SGS will get ICS officialy, btw I don't think it will bring any major improvement (as happened with gingerbread).
However it would be better to be updated because some new apps probably will only work on ICS.

One big: Hardware accelerated UI (and the sgx540 still a really good gpu).
After that, i think you can say it's smoother than ever on your i9000
Why would launcher need to dial out? You have a dialer / phone apk for that, I guess.
