I've grown to distrust Manufacturer or OEM dates, but nice find there anyways.
$1 gets you a reply

isnt nexus s gonna get before galaxy s2?

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 took the Galaxy S 4 months to get gingerbread, not as long as it could of been

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.

May I know, what crap you found on site? It will help me to improve site

As much as I would love to believe this, I can't.
I'm expecting ICS in forever and a day, that way if it comes a day earlier than expected the wait will still seem like forever.
However I think January 23 is when it will be rolled out.

Omg if this is true i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are just guessed dates right??
yes samsung and others have confirmed ics for some of their devices already out but no dates have officaly been confirmed have they
that site is very misleading to me bbecause come december everyone is now going to be going where is ics , when really that date has been picked out of the air as a random date by someone
i cant see an offical samsung build coming till next year , now the devs on this forum on the other hand are making great leaps to getting a full working version on the sgs2

Official ICS slated for a Q1 2012 release !

Samsung has cemented its plans for the roll-out of Ice Cream Sandwich, and it looks likely to land on most of its top drawer Android devices. This (unsurprisingly) includes the Galaxy S II, its LTE variant, the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy R and whole range of Samsung tabs, from the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The update is penned to arrive first on both the Galaxy S II and Note in Q1 2012, with other devices following, although the Korean giant says that separate announcements will be made on the finer points -- depending on the "market situation and carriers' requirements". Source: Engadget
I for one, cannot wait for this - BUT to be honest, I am actually looking forward for a pure AOSP ROM of ICS on the Tab 10.1

From what they've implied, Touchwiz will mainly be support software for better hardware. It will fade as a UI.

waiting for it badly

I hope they roll out OTA a bit quicker than they've managed with 3.2.. Sure, we are many who know how to download a release to flash with odin, but that's still kind of a bother compared to just accepting an OTA ;-)

Honestly, with CM9 coming to the GT10.1, I really don't care about what Samsung is pushing (except, of course, the improvements it may bring to custom ROMs...).

As someone who owned two Samsung supported phones before my Nexus S (Moment and Epic 4G) how is Samsung with tablet support? My experience with them for phone support is that they have no clue what they are doing with software, always late with deadlines, and what they do send out is lackluster. Hence I grabbed a Nexus S since Google supports that.. I took a gamble with the tab..

They're getting the hang of the software thing, but they also add quite a bit of good stuff to their devices that you can't see. (codecs, drivers, etc...)
Hopefully what that guy ^ said is true and they don't focus on the UI at all this time.

So we will be getting ics after march as galaxy s2 and galaxy note will get it the first 3 months and only after that to the other devices ie galaxy tab
So my bet is still with cm9

I'm with you here. The support on the Galaxy S I had was lackluster, if it wasn't for custom roms I never would have kept that phone long.
Im waiting for the ICS ROMS for our tabs. I just got a beta ICS on my Mytouch and I'm in love.

Has the Official Icecream Sandwich rom been previewed yet?

Has anyone here seen a preview of the officiel Samsung icecream sandwich rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Scheduled to be released by end of next month?

Unfortunately no. There's a number of preliminary roms leaked from samsung for the Galaxy II, but so far none was leaked for the GT 10.1. We anxiously wait for a leak, because drivers can be extracted from it and solve the non-working camera problem in recent CM9 builds and other problems as well.
In the meantime, if you want to feel ICS in your GT10.1, I really recommend the CM9 kangs in the dev forum. You'll feel like the tab worth the money after trying it

Not yet

you can find some videos where are (some) samsung tabs with ics... and with touchwiz there,, sadly

I just installed kangs. Its nice but no camera which I can deal with.

This thread is asking about the official release rom, not the kangs. Please post accordingly.

Whennn ??
I hope as soon as possible. I want a stable ics rom.

Although the Kangs are very very good over honeycomb, battery life in the last few builds has been horrible to say the least. I have been using ROMs from mabalito & pershoot since a month now but both seem to drain the battery pretty quickly even after all the wiping, etc. Even personal hotspot is very dodgy. And WIFI issues are far too many since the last 5-6 builds. It is very irritating to keep checking every morning whether a new ics build with a fix is out or not. I am going back to honeycomb until the samsung leaks start happening.

To bad your second link is irrelevant to the op asking about 10.1 tab.

I'm guessing we wont see it officially until Samsung releases those new old tablets.

I would like ICS too. Like ASAP!

Don't think we'll ever see ics . The only to is to buy the same tab again...

Waiting for ICJB - Ice Cream Jelly Bean

Can´t wait for samsung ICS, i use AOKP since months and i am very satisfied.
Now i actually use build 28, on the 10.1 TAB and on my Galaxy S Handy,
same look and feel on both devices.

The preview should basically be the same as Galaxy Note 10.1 with touchwiz Icecream Sandwich...coz more or less GTab 10.1 and GNote 10.1 fall in the same category of tablets...but however I prefer a full stock experience of AOSP...Hope touchwiz ICS won't disappoint like the touchwiz HC... ...still looking forward to Jellybean..!!

Galaxy S II ICS Update Rolls Out Today in Select Countries

See at source:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/12/2...-4-0-update-korea-today-sweden-poland-hungary
"As promised, Samsung is finally rolling out Android 4.0 to Galaxy S II users in South Korea today, and has also announced the first details of European availablity. Poland, Sweden, and Hungary will also be getting the update today, with more countries on the way — and the UK could be one of the next up. A tweet from Brendan Arndt of UK carrier Three has revealed that their final build of Ice Cream Sandwich is currently undergoing internal testing."
I'm sure all of you know what this means for us Note users. Can't be much longer now before we see ICS. Looks like Samsung might make good on its estimate for ICS delivery.

Taken from Twitter
Well March 10 came and went without the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II, but hey what’s a few extra days? If you remember, we posted that earlier today a tweet was pulled by SK Telecom announcing that ICS would arrive on March 13. It was pulled because Samsung wanted to make the official announcement, which they just did via Twitter and Facebook. Here’s what they said on Facebook:
We’re thrilled to announce that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be served to GALAXY S II users in the European countries including Poland, Hungary and Sweden, as well as Korea today, and gradually roll out to other markets.
ICS for GALAXY Note, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow soon.
In addition, we’ll also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7″, GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD) and GALAXY W from end March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others.
The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradeable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements.
I would expect to see the Galaxy Note and others to get ICS by May. If you’re in the U.S., you’re probably wondering when ICS will make its way stateside. Unfortunately I don’t have any confidence that we will get a taste until at least the Summer.
Also the Gingerbread firmware update for the Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, etc. is quite interesting in that Face Unlock and Photo Editor will make it’s way to these devices. It’s unlikely these devices will ever see ICS, but at least Samsung is trying to bring some its features to these devices.

ICS in the USA is at the hands of the CARRIERS. I wouldn't count on Verizon or AT&T releasing it unless it snows in July LOL.
Another reason to buy full price, international versions. Most will get any updates way before (if ever) a carrier branded version.
Heck, I got my note in late December and have had 3 updates (GB). The carrier notes have had how many updates? Not sure, but are they even on 2.3.6?

Cosmetically different.
Does not seem to add much in terms of function for most users.
Imilka's asop is something worth trying out. It has somebugs but not a big issue. However still find GB roms to be better and faster.
@Taptalk-GalaxyNote

New browser and hardware acceleration alone makes me want ics, not to mention the other features.
Shame it's got touchwiz all over it.

This is new to me! I´ve read several posts about GB being more stable etc, but faster? I just tried one ICS ROM for testing purposes, and hell, Nova launcher on ICS is FAR beyond every launcher on GB (even stock TW) when it comes to speed...

I really dont understand what makes Samsung take so long for Note, if they have already done with SII. My opinion: except the S Pen app remaining things on Note are similar to SII. Porting S Pen should not take much time.

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
