"One OS that runs everywhere." There you have it, folks! Google intends to meld its Honeycomb tablet wares and Gingerbread smartphone software into one delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. Maybe that's why the "sandwich" bit is in the name?Either way, it'll be a universal OS that runs on everything from teeny tiny Android phones to 10-inch tablets and will intelligently adapt to each form factor with things like a resizable status bar. Some other fancy new additions are being demonstrated right now, including face-tracking and camera focus shifting based on voice recognition.

X10 wont go further than 2.3 and we're bloody luck to get that off Sony. I'd imagine a dev will make a custom rom of this so we shouldn't miss out ;-)
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
As The Gingerbread Man says, this definitely won't officially be coming to the X10.
You are just being mislead by it being a "universal OS". It's not universal in the sense that any phone currently available will be able to update to Ice Cream Sandwich. It's universal in the sense that it works on both phones AND tablets without having a seperate OS for each.
Whys it say any sized phone..? Lol

Sony ericcson have already stated that the update to 2.3 will be our last OS update and concidering they were going to leave us officially on 2.1. The only way you will see this on your x10 is by a custom rom by our devs, its that simple.

Look here: Twitter.com/captainkrtek
And here: Twitter.com/r2doesinc

Read through some of the tweets made by all of them. All of which are pretty reliable sources. R2doesinc is a reputable dev and captainkrtek a RootzWiki admin.

I don't know if HTC will officially support Ice Cream for our Evo's. I just remember the issues that the devs ran into prior to the official release of GB. I hope I'm wrong because it would be great to have. I also wonder if our hardware even meets the system requirements.

ICS is designed to help end fragmentation. It should run fine on the hardware. I doubt htc will support it tho.

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.
Evo 4g is close to its end of life the only way we could get this is thru roms
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.

Considering people have gotten 2.3 running on the G1, I think it's entirely feasible that the EVO could run ICS.
It may not be without it's problems, but I'm sure after some refining it could be perfectly usable.

Source was never released (if I remember correctly). So that's why we never saw any roms.

Honeycomb was designed for tablets and plus the source was never released to prevent more fragmentation. Icecream is supposed to bridge the gap between gingerbread and honeycomb.
Looks like it will be coming out around the holidays for the Samsung phones
This is from Gizmocrunch
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/7967-samsung-nexus-prime-android-ice-cream-sandwich
"Now what's interesting is that both Samsung devices are mentioned as getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, leaving the HTC built Google Nexus One out of the equation. So it looks like Samsung will have a big advantage over other Android phone manufacturers come this holidays when Ice Cream Sandwich is set to debut."

more "ice cream sandwich" spotlight!!!
ICE CREAM
Just read the interview w/Andy Rubin. They said they'd open source ICS "a couple weeks" after the Galaxy Nexus's release =)
HTC has said they are looking at ICS and will determine what they will do, because most of the features that make sense great has now been added to ICS. Could be they don't update any of their old phones, and they come up with something totally new for all of their new phones going forward. If they would put sense as it is now, they would cover up a lot of the new great features of ICS. Just a thought.

I can't find anything regarding a version of CM8. I also can't find any CM versions of honeycomb. I have found CM7 with some honeycomb elements, however. Did Google ever release Honeycomb source into AOSP? That is the only place CM goes to build their roms.

Lol.. I was wondering when we are going to see this thread.
I don't need ICS. By next year, we all are going to be upgrade eligible.
By then ICS will be more polished.
As always, Google tends to dish out half-baked stuff. I expect lots of updates for ICS to settle.

If that's the case, then I'm almost positive we could get a port of ICS. I don't really care if it's official.

You'll be happy to know that the head designer of WebOS switched teams to Google during the development of Honeycomb. The "theft" from Palm is entirely public, not that I mind. It will do a lot to make Android easier to adopt and really separate it in function from iOS.
