Samsung Reconsidering Android 4.0 On the Galaxy S

[wraggster]

The original Galaxy S (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Vibrant) was the redheaded step child of the Samsung device line. ... Samsung announced over Christmas that the original Galaxy S was done (http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/12/23/2156205/galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab-wont-get-android-40), leaving its faithful fans in a position of having another year on their contracts with no upgrade path. Users were predictably incensed, and it looks likeSamsung changed their minds (http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/27/2663320/samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab-ics-upgrade-review). There's also the Samsung Vibrant development forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=711) if you want Ice Cream Sandwich running on your Vibrant right now (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961)."The original source is bit iffy and implies that the release will not be fully featured (probably due to hardware constraints). Business Insider contacted Samsung directly (http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-s-android-value-pack-for-ice-cream-sandwich-2011-12) and an official response is expected today.
