With the recent availability of the Galaxy Nexus directly from Google for $399, I am very tempted to make a purchase. However, the phone has been out since around November which means there is clearly something else on the horizon. Has anyone heard any rumors about when the next Nexus device is supposed to drop? If it is more than 6 months from now I have no problem spending the $399, BUT if we might get something sooner I will hold onto my cash! I am ONLY interested in discussing pure Google Nexus devices, so if you have any info leave a comment.
Well I suspect it will be around November again as that's generally when new android versions are released

Interesting. So we really might need to wait until November for another AOSP Android phone to be released? If that is the case I see no reason why I wouldnt buy the Nexus. Does anyone else have other info regarding a Nexus device release date?

I hope so, but based on past Nexus phones I have no idea
Nexus one: January 2010
Nexus S: December 2010
Galaxy Nexus: November 2011

That a long time from now, I might just need to grab a Galaxy Nexus. There is no way I will be using my Sensation then since I got it last June.

Hello!
I got very excited when I saw yesterdays presentation of android 4.0 too.
But it keeps me wondering when we'll see the sourcecode being published.
So my question is does anyone have any idea whatsoever about when we can expect the android 4.0 sourcecode?
How did that go with gingerbread, how long did it take for them to release the sourcecode of that?
Thnks!
most likely around the same time as galaxy nexus is released
IIRC 2.3 source code release was about two weeks after the 2.3 release.

Great thanks for the infos.
: )
you can expect to see devs working feverishly to get rooted recovery zips posted as soon as there is a proper dump, as well....so at least you may be able to use bare-bones vanilla ICS soon If you've got a nexus you'll have it almost immediately!
yep iam trying to repo sync it but nothing is happening yet....
too bad i really wanted to build it today.
7:24AM Well, he said that they'll open-source it "a couple of weeks" after it lands on the Galaxy Nexus in November, so shortly after that. Probably before Christmas, if we had to guess.

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.

Thank you for the heads up. Hope GS2 will not take a long time to upgrade like the Samsung did for Galaxy S.
seems to match up with this
http://www.lifeofandroid.com/news_detail/ice-cream-sandwich-to-debut-on-android-handsets-in-weeks/
The worldwide release of Android 4.0 will begin in time for Christmas with Google’s Nexus S smartphone meaning the new OS should be broadly available for all compatible handsets by early 2012.

They hvn't even released the 2.3.4 update in India.Jan 2012 s too early a date for us i guess .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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?

Wow this is great news. Now android is a step closer to WP7 and iOS in handling resources. +1 HW acceleration
Even if we are not getting the official update, i am sure xda developers will cook one for us.

Wow - official in 3 months? Testing should be out soon - shouldn't it? =p

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
When will JB ROMS be coming to the samsung vibrant, i know that there is already some work for the g-nexus but nothing about the sgs models. Does anybody know when?
I'm assuming soon after Google releases the code for it.
android 4.1
I hope sooner rather then later
When it gets to devices such as the Nexus S, I9000, or basically any Galaxy S family device (first gen)
IT has the potential to run on the Vibrant.
I am also hearing that the Nexus S is getting an official google update, so if that is true, we will get it for sure.

The NOTE will get it for sure, no doubt about that, it just won't be through Samsung as they will want to put Touchwiz on top of it, which will take about 1 year, and by then the new version KAKA will be released.
haha
There is already an alpha version that was released

Looks like Google just released the JB code into AOSP..
Roms will happen when they happen If I were to take a wild guess, I would say in the in the future sometime.
Patience! Count your blessings that we have awesome devs that gave us ICS!

^ Ha, very punny sir... Very punny indeed.
Yes, and we should really encourage them by donating anything for their cause. They're not really getting paid to do this, but they are doing it anyway. I recently just donated $5 to a dev that has helped me through a couple of problems, may not seem much but a little can go a long way
I can't wait to see what all these developers and going to create now that the source code is out. It will be a while with some dev teams starting from scratch but it will be worth the wait.

Currently it is speculated that Google will announce the new Nexus in November, some say on the 5th to celebrate Android's 5th birthday. But if your looking for specs and stuff take a look at this article:

Thanks, I have't seen that yet...
Is there reason to expect that there will be a new edition of the Nexus 10 anytime soon?
I've been wanting to purchase one since they were released, but now that I'm in the market I'm hesitant. I don’t want to purchase the device only to have a newly upgraded version announced shortly after.

There are only rumors to go off of right now but if you really want the upgraded version (if there is one which many people think there is) you might have to wait until holidays or next year around February? I don't think anything will come out soon but earlier there was talk of a November release date.
