Ouch: No Ice Cream Sandwich for Galaxy S

[stanfills]

Samsung's Korean blog explains why the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab didn't make the ICS cut - Android Central

Not a big deal, as you can root your Fascinate and install it yourself. A couple of guys here on the forum have already done so (philly, I believe, did his).

I did to mine, but it's just been sitting here since I have a GNex.

I haven't even bothered with mine, I keep it around as an emergency backup (and to play games on it sometimes).

It sucks cause the nexus s gets it but the galaxy s doesn't. Samsung says that is because the nexus s run pure android but the galaxy s won't be powerful enough to be used with touchwiz....lol

Just admitting how overly cumbersome these skins really are...

That's a crock of you know what. My nook color is running ICS. The devs on XDA stated that ICS' minimum requirement was an ARM v7 Processor. If I'm not mistaken, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab can reach and/or exceed 1GHz. Don't buy into this horse hockey. Come over to the Dark Side, we haz cookies ;D

I used to have a forum signature, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Dear Samsung,

Thank you for informing us that the Galaxy S Fascinate is not worthy of an official ICS update. I hope you don't mind if I call you out on the Android Central Forums for spewing total BULL !

The reason I'm calling you out is because I already have ICS on my Fascinate. I actually had it on my Fascinate before you even released the Galaxy Nexus and let me tell you, ICS runs so well on my Fascinate that I considered NOT even buying the Galaxy Nexus. So while some folks might buy your line of crap, I know for a fact that the Fascinate runs ICS way better than it ever did Froyo or Gingerbread. It's too bad you don't see it that way.

Sincerely,

Me

Um, who cares? Why is this in the Galaxy Nexus forum?

Well, plenty of people care, but you're right, why is this in the Galaxy Nexus Forum? LOL

They need a shoulder to cry on and this is where the uber geeks roll
