All updates come straight from Google. Sprint / Samsung don't get the update before releasing it to test it or approve it which is why updates take longer on other devices because Sprint and the phone maker take forever to do carrier and hardware testing to make sure the device can support it, etc. The Nexus S is also a developer phone too so that helps. It will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update as confirmed by Google.
