An Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note is slated for a March 1st release, according to mobile industry insider Eldar Murtazin. Murtazin posted a tweet claiming the official update would roll out next month, though availability will vary depending on country and carrier. He also said that the Android 4.0 update will be made available over the air or using Samsung’s Kies software. Samsung previously announced that an Android 4.0 upgrade would be coming to the Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Note, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

I have added the OP to the ICS Info sticky. Please post all expected ICS ETAs There​

Samsung China will test Note ICS in May.

Note 4.0 experience event
only for SAMSUNG employees who have an i9220(china) or i9228(china mobile)

I am pretty sure Samsung employee in other market got the same invite. This basically means two things.
1. Someone is going to leak out a copy of the ROM as soon as beta starts.
2. Official update is going to be end of May or early June

There's a separate sticky thread for ICS. You should posting to that.

Why would they say april/may if they are testing it in may?
Should just say May then.
April/May is more like end of april and 1 week into may

Jellybean arrives in October CONFIRMED by Samsung

Samsung has finally confirmed the Android Jelly Bean update will be arriving on the Samsung Galaxy S3 at some point during October.
The manufacturer won't commit to a more concrete answer than that as it goes through the final stages of testing.
As always, the update will arrive on SIM free versions of the S3 before it heads to network-branded devices, which will come as very frustrating news to some.
If you haven't already bought your Samsung Galaxy S3, we would highly recommend waiting until it launches in all its 4G glory on Everything Everywhere (EE) later in the year, because that version will come with Android Jelly Bean 4.1 already installed.
The Android Jelly Bean update will make the Samsung Galaxy S3 run faster thanks to the Butter UI, add expandable notifications, Android Beam, offline voice dictation and Google Now.
The update has already been released for the Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Motorola Xoom, but many are still waiting for it to hit on some of the best selling Android devices such as HTC's range and the Samsung Galaxy S2.
More than 500 million Android handsets are in circulation around the world, but most are still waiting for the latest update to arrive.

This has not confirmed anything
Samsung Sweden and Denmark have said October.... doesn't mean Samsung in other countries, namely BTU UK (what all the leaks have been) won't be in September.

Official Jelly Bean 4.1 Update in India Rolled Back

Samsung India has confirmed that the Jelly Beam update for Galaxy S III is no longer rolling out in India. The update reportedly contained bugs and was creating issues for those already updated, thus Samsung has stopped the update.
Company is currently looking into this and is likely to release a fixed update soon.
Samsung had originally started the Android 4.1 OTA update around two weeks ago.
Here is the email reply sent to one of the many S3 owners in India.

I'm starting to hate Samsung even more now. Wondering if purchasing the Galaxy S3 was a mistake and a big one at that, this being my first android phone. To anyone thinking about buying the Galaxy S3 or any other samsung device for that matter, please don't. Samsung's headed the Apple way, and we all know Apple sucks major d**k. Samsung also hasn't release the souce code for the Exynos, resulting in no stable aosp roms for the international version.

Tone down your outburst please. In any case you arent married to the S3, get yourself another device if you are so pissed about it.
And yes, folks here already know about this news (!), and they dont give a rats a$$ since they are busy flashing XXELK4

Exactly. While Samsung Exynos aren't as dev friendly as Qualcomm , etc, atleast they are way ahead of most other Manufacturers when it comes to updating our phones or atleast giving enough leaks.

So you're moaning because they pulled a defective update, and because of that you'll never buy a Samsung phone again? I think the sooner you do that the better for everyone.

Sprint Galaxy S5 Android L 5.0 Update

So we have seen our friends at SAMMOBILE playing with a Samsung Galaxy S5 sporting Android L 5.0, is it possible that we will see an OTA Update soon for our Sprint variant the SM-G900P? Or will we have to wait for the next 6 months for our Lollipop?
Well, not so long ago a leaked document (SEE PICTURE) from Samsung dated October 5th, 2014 showed an schedule of different Samsung devices that will soon be getting an OTA Update dubbed KTU84P (Phase 2). Notice that our carrier variant SM-G900P is not on this list, which leads me to believe that we will have to wait a little longer, perhaps until early next year.
What are your thoughts about this? Can you wait for the candy or will you ROOT your device and have a taste before the OTA it's released to us? Let's hear what the masses have to say!
