The reason is there isnt lot of ICS devices
Only the Galaxy nexus , So devs' aren't looking forward to develop apps for it
When the High End devices have ICS update THere will be Tons of ICS compatible apps

If by incompatible you mean they are not working, that's not true. I think the only one I found not working is Viber. Although I haven't searched that much.

We know. This is the 762nd thread about this. Sheesh

I am Very Sorry about this
I searched several threads to find i am repeating a post
And none of them had Confirmed Date

So that means.. Just 9 days left
Sent from my GT-I9100

I don't think it'll release on March 1. The way the betas are going. It might be mid March or so.

If it is true, 10 days left for me. BTW this like the 756th thread on this news...

About the app it's silly, all new-updated app makes update available for ICS 4.0, due to regulations for customers that bought already app.
And, as far as i know, 1 march =100% fully working stock rom with ICS, Samsung have been given before beta's already, now is the time for Sgs2 ICS

Great news if it does nothing else than speed up a full CM9 release

Yea this is great news, I am on the latest ICS beta but annoyingly the official hotmail app isnt ICS compatible yet either, but its a minor inconvenience at the moment.

Well this is great news, I pray they get the MS Exchange straightened out.

Get Galaxy S Updates from twitter

Not sure about you guys but I only use twitter for news/tech updates.
Since a twitter account doesn't exist for galaxy s updates I figured I would make one.
https://twitter.com/TheGalaxyS
I'll be trying to keep up to date with all the galaxy s news and post updates as often as I can.
The updates I will post will be about application tweaks, firmware updates, rom news, sim unlock etc...
Updates will include all of the galaxy s phones.
Galaxy S I9000, Vibrant, and the Captivate.
If there are updates that i've either missed or you think they're very important, just tweet back at me, or email [email protected]
I'll also be posting updates about CyanogenMod.
Updates about cyanogen on galaxy s?

Google may never release 3.0 source

According to Bloomberg
This would be very disappointing...and the reasoning seems to be that they don't want devs putting Honeycomb on phones.
"Rubin says that if Google were to open-source the Honeycomb code now, as it has with other versions of Android at similar periods in their development, it couldn't 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."

Apparently, the next source they plan on releasing will be for Ice Cream Sandwich.

Developers make ROMs that don't work or barely work sometimes! They tweak it, play with it, get it up and running. If they're not sure if it can run on phones, well, leave it up to the huge developer base for Android to do the work for them!
So silly.

that's not the problem (as far as i can tell), as people who root and would flash a HC rom on a phone are a small percent of android users. It's the OEMs they're worried about porting HC and ruining the user experience of the device -and thusly android- with a bad port.
Yeah, I can see that happening.
I can't find the post I found regarding an update on the situation, where a representative said that they just won't release it YET.
Bummer but we've seen these situations already someone will leak it before we know it.

Release Date 3.1

ACER
HoneyComb 3.1 Release
23 June 2011 : FOTA (USA)
5 July 2011 : FOTA (THAILAND)
But you have to note that is a Starting update date and not everyone will get it directly on 23 at midnight... be patient.

Good news would have been "Today". Thanks for posting though.

htf can Google promise anything for a Acer product? I doubt that source has anything to do with acer product range or releases..
You need to get the releases from Acer and for iconia a500 specifically.. What Google does only relate to a possible release of the source code to the 3.1, not what 3rd parties choose to do.

Better than never, as long as it's bug free ; )
Am I the only one who noticed his post said Acer Thailand? I don't think Thailand ranks very high on most developer's list of places to localize first and foremost given their relative position economy wise in the world and their language not being spoken the world over. I'm not saying the US, Europe and other places won't have to wait until July, but we might not have to either.

Would be great to have ics. We already have awesome rom devs,kernel devs,and themers in addition to a fantastic device. This phone is gonna rock for some time now.

Indeed, after reading the article I came to the same conclusion.
In fact the article refers to the GT-N8010 for the ICS Android 4.0 Leak while not much is known about this device currently.

But where in the article does it mention a release of ICS in the coming days ? Or have I missed something ?
Nice. Was waiting for it.
The article is saying that the newest firmware is one of the last gingerbread updates for the note. We should be expecting a leak sometime in the future.

It's got nothing to do with pessimism!
"News" would be that an ICS build has been leaked and is available for download.
What you have here is just a rumour, and should be treated as such!

Would be really cool for devs to get their hands on some leaked camera drivers for ICS.

I find it really odd Google made a point of saying the ota was coming mid-july then released it the day they announced it. I mean I believe its happening it just seems weird, saying that it was out TODAY!!1!1! Would've stolen the news day on every tech site and been free advertising.

It's only released to the people that went to the I/O and received the Nexus. It's not released to the general public yet.

That makes a little more sense, I still think it would've been good publicity to make that known with the official announcement, seems like something apple would do (in a good hype-building way).
They said in the keynote that this exactly what would happen.
You will receive a free galaxy nexus....minutes after booting it up you will receive a ota update to 4.1 preview.....
