Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread leaks for Samsung Galaxy S

[brock1]

Not every Galaxy S user around the globe even has Froyo yet -- but Samsung's ready to move on, it seems, crafting a ROM based on Android 2.3.2 (in other words, quite recently) for the i9000 model that just leaked across the giant faucet better known as the internet. The darned thing is nearly a quarter gigabyte in size, so Samsung's not playing here, but users haven't fleshed out everything that's changed just yet. Of course, if you're using one of the millions of Galaxy S devices that aren't an i9000, you've got more waiting to do... but we're certain hackers are already well underway tearing this bad boy apart and crafting custom ROMs for various SKUs. Hang tight! - Engadget

is the galaxy s 4g considered an i9000?

No, the I9000 is the international Galaxy S. But this leak is good news for two reasons:
1) the files in this leak can eventually be used to get Gingerbread on other Galaxy S devices, like the 4G
2) Gingerbread is being developed by Samsung, so hopefully an official version for the 4G is not too far off!

Wait, Gingerbread is not available for 4G now?

 

[ragnarokx]

Not officially, no. There could be now or in the future an unofficial port based on this version though.
