ICS on the Nexus S

[bclapper]

ICS is supposedly coming to Nexus S devices a few weeks after the Galaxy Nexus launches. Considering the Nexus S has only a single-core 1 GHZ processor and 512 MB of RAM, do you think it will be able to handle it smoothly? The Galaxy Nexus has considerably better hardware with a 1.2 GHZ dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM.

I'm sure it'll be fine, and that Google is fully aware not all phones will be super power house devices, just as Gingerbread can still run on weaker cpu phones with less RAM

Seeing how I can run a full blown Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus S, I think it will handle a small footprint OS like ICS
