google ice cream to be released summer 2011
niiiiice. good things to happen this year.
sure it just didnt happend to my phone wonder if it ever get ported to vibrant
How long does one think it'll take for ICS to make it to our phone after it comes out, and does anyone know approximately when it's due to be realesed? Thanks.
Rumors points to October or November as the OS' launch date, with the Samsung Nexus Prime rumored to be Google's flagship Ice Cream Sandwich device.
Sweet. Thanks
What do u guys think? will we get andriod 2.4 ( ice cream sandwich) for our x10's?
Ice cream sandwich is android 4.0
Who knows, no one knows the minimum specs yet.
I'm sure at the very least the launcher will be ported.
Update on Ice Cream Sandwich
by HTC on Friday, October 21, 2011 at 10:14pm
Since Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich earlier this week, HTC has been looking closely at the new OS's features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. We're a recognized industry leader in providing fast and consistent upgrades to our Android devices (see what Engadget had to say about our upgrades: http://engt.co/qMb9nQ), and Ice Cream Sandwich will be no different.
Upgrades require a careful balance of hardware and software to ensure the best possible performance and usability, so please stay tuned as we assess our product portfolio. Our goal is to upgrade as many HTC devices as possible and we'll be sharing details on specific devices and timing in the coming weeks!
Thanks!
i am very much lookin fwd to ICS for my wildfire
Wildfire didn't get official Gingerbread, so I can't see how on earth you people are linking HTC's posts on ICS, and, "waiting/hoping" for official ICS, no less.
I agree with 3xeno.
When they said they'll upgrade as many of their devices, the meant recent
devices. So what, HTC will upgrade the G1 to ICS? No go. And plus, they declared the Wildfire as end-of-life. Nullifying the chance.
I am not trying to say I don't want official ICS; I do want it very much, but there is a slim chance of it happening.
any unofficial rom's available???
At this point, I am more worried about UN-official ICS, official be damned. (Again, I am repeating, Wildfire didn't get official Gingerbread, so I honestly don't know what makes us think even an iota that it will get official ICS)
Remember, the Gingerbread SDK Port DID run on the Wildfire (Jacob's GingerFire Alpha ROM), which is not the case with ICS, and arco has pretty much confirmed any attempts to have an ICS SDK port up and running are going to be futile, because the ICS SDK doesn't support the old ARMv6 CPU, period.
I completely agree with you 3xeno. The HTC Wildfire lacks GPU and the processor is too slow. So there won't be an Official ICS and probably not even an Unofficial port of ICS AOSP.
Well, even the Nexus One won't get official ICS, as Google says its hardware is too old.
Update for all - Wildfire Ice Cream Sandwich
Sorry for cross posting ... i was reading up on the same question, can wildfire work for ICS. Well good news ... someone has already started - unofficially. Its still being worked upon but seems there is hope.

Officially Ice Cream Sandwich will never be on Wildfire. Its simply not viable for business. No wonder HTC didnt upgrade to Gingerbread.
Just came across this post that stated lenovo now plans for K1 to get Ice Cream Sandwich by May!
