ICS And Samsung: An On Again, Off Again Affair
Stop me if you've heard this one before, a rouge tweet announcing the long awaited release of the official Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S2 lights up the blog-o-sphere. After months of waiting, the latest version of our favorite mobile OS is finally coming to the worst best smartphone.... hurrrra! But then as unexpectedly as the tweet had arrived, it disappeared from twitter.
If this sounds familiar it's because we brought you an almost identical story a week ago. But instead of Israel, today's country-du-jour in the on going ICS update saga is Korea, where local cell provider SK Telecom promised local customers an Android 4.0 update scheduled for 10 AM tomorrow morning.
