Only if/when the CyanogenMod team do a version of it. By that stage Samsung will almost certainly have declared the GS2 well & truly obsolete.

Yeah, they will. Samsungs one of the many manufacterers that are taking part in the 18 month update policy enforced by Google.

Of course SGS2 will get ICS, but it will probably take a while, my guess is Nexus Prime for sale in december, and ICS update for SGS2 maybe 3 months later in march.

Update: The whole demo relies on third party software add-ons to make the phone only appear to be running Ice Cream Sandwich. It's an impressive feat, but it's not the real deal. Stay tuned for our coverage of the official Android Ice Cream Sandwich unveiling that's set for October 19.

hrm. not sure when they posted that "update" to the article, but it wasnt there at 9am or so EST 10-17-2011..
guess they got an influx of people yelling "fake" so they needed to put a disclaimer hehe
Yea the update was added later, and they hooked me a little, but also knew there was a good chance it was a fake.

Take this with a pinch of salt as it's far from official but:
Gaurav Hasabnis, an industry analyst and contributing editor of Fonearena.com posted on Twitter: “Something gonna come in Jan 2012. #sgs2 users gonna rejoice!”, followed by a second tweet: “Soon Mali400 gonna be in full use.”
The mentioned Mali 400 is the name of the GPU on the Samsung Galaxy S II. Rumors states Ice Cream Sandwich will utilize the the full potential of high-end smartphones better than previous Android OS, which leads us to believe that the ICS will be making its way to the Galaxy S2.

If they won't release it officially, I'm sure we'll get a custom rom with 4.0 running as soon as the Galaxy Nexus is launched But good news, anyway!
Just think. If it's January 'officially,' then it could be December (or earlier) for us!
That's a great news. Though I think we'll get ICS unofficially before that. Anyone?

Didn't Samsung drop development of 2.3.4 as they started 2.3.5
I still haven't got any official updates from 2.3.3 on a SIM free handset here in the UK.
Samsung UK have also tweeted that there is no time frame for getting ICS on the SGSII (read in to that what you want)
Think custom roms will be the only way forwards on ICS for some time.
Well that announcement is about Official release, NOT unofficial one. 70% users use Official ROM and like them, existing use this and that. Without a Stock ROM there won't be any Custom ROMs? Would there be?
Count me in those 70%.
We'll sure have some custom rom runnig ICS before the official one but I wonder what they'll do about touchwizz...
Looking forward to it
hey guys, I called Tmobile today for a replacement Amaze because mine decided to have a not so sexy dead pixel lol.. and while i was waiting i asked the tech. representative about the ICS 4.0 update (he also owned an amaze) and he said he heard early June ... just thought id share that with you guys lol
Ahh that sucks but honestly I have no problem with that. My phone is amazing and its not even rooted . Thanks for the info man.
Mhm June... Just in time, that month will be awesome! Official ics for devs to use and bf3 map pack lol thanks for the info, let's wait for Wednesday, that's what HTC told me

Meh, don't care what version of Sense it uses. I'll just be excited that the Kernel source for it will have to be released, which SHOULD fast-track AOSP development, also, it will be based on Linux 3.x, and could (most likely will) update the radio.
early june is too late. consider sensation is getting the update already.

The sensation came out a couple of months before the Amaze, so it makes a little sense that it would get it first.
I'm perfectly fine with waiting a couple of months, I'd rather have a official update that's more glitch free than a early one that hasn't been properly tested.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ean-will-be-coming-to-the-galaxy-nexus-first/
Google's let a bit of info slip a little early via the Play Store. When purchasing a Galaxy Nexus via the site, while checking out, the device is listed on your order as "Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ - The latest smartphone from Google, soon the first phone with Android 4.1 Jell..." This marks the first time the name Jelly Bean, and the version number 4.1 has been referenced publicly.

I would'nt be surprised if galaxy s2 doesnt get the update. Im guessing at&t will eol(end of life) the galaxy s2 before jellybeans is out.
Atleast i can guarantee my galaxy s3 will get it
Oh My....I'm in the middle of an ICS update. Should I pull the USB cable from my phone before it's to late?
i will get it before all of you on my galaxy nexus. then i might think about bringing it to my sgs2.

not sure why you would want to update to an outdated, buggy, tw version of ICS. OTA's from ATT are pretty much useless. we've been ahead of them for months now.
As the One X on our beloved AT&t received 4.1 today, I take it as a sign we too shall receive it!
In 8 to 10 business months.

AT&T wont release jelly bean for LGOG til the pro comes out. they want people to buy a new device and renew their contracts with the pro. less people would with LGOG having jelly bean.
Personally, I don't think AT&T cares what devices are out, they make their money on contracts, not devices.

I personally don't agree with this.
The vast majority of consumers don't know what version of android is on what device.
They won't even know.
And it shouldn't matter what device people buy, as long as they extend their contracts.
Also, stock isn't too bad on this phone.
I seriously could not care less when we have a ROM that's pretty much exactly what the stock update is going to be with SnowJB. Plus we've got AOSP, AOKP, and CM10 on the way. Not to mention The Base and other ROMs I'm neglecting to mention. If you're on XDA you likely don't need an official Jellybean release. I'm not a huge fan of this news being posted all over. We have better updates than what will ever come out. Who cares?

I don't know any android user that doesn't know what version of android is on their device. I can think of atleast 20 people. Most people are educated enough these days to know what they have and what newer version is out. They may not know how to root or modify like my sister but she does know when her iPhone doesn't have the newest iOS.

Then it seems most of my acquaintances... are not super bright.
But in all honesty, the everyday consumer really doesn't know. With Android so fragmented and most devices hardly receiving updates, I can think of a lot of people I know that don't know. They aren't tech people, they just want a smartphone.
I've had to walk friends through getting to the about phone settings just so they could find out what version they were on.
On iOS devices, everybody (or just about) has the latest update available to them; and even then, they really don't know what the hell is going on.
It is amazing how many people out there don't know much of anything about technology, and have no idea what their devices are capable of.

Funny thing is, neither AT&T nor HTC said ICS was coming to the Inspire, only HTC said it then retracted it for the Desire HD, international version.

It's clear from what we've seen from other carriers around the world, that the lack of official Jellybean is totally on AT&T. I love this phone, but it looks like the only way to keep current is to depend on our devs and with brand new shiny coming out very soon I suspect we will lose quite a few of them. I realize brand new shiny phones are always coming out, but the next crop of devices are slated to be real power houses.
