I just ordered the eee pad from newegg...got the UPS tracking number today. Anyway...I would assume it would be fairly easy to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich when it comes out, hopefully by ASUS pushing it out, or by rooting and putting the ROM on yourself. Probably getting ahead of myself here, since 3.1 isn't even here yet, but I just don't want a tablet that has outdated software in 4 months.
Now, need to sell my OG iPad. Craigslist I guess, ebay fees have gotten outrageous.

I sold my ipad on eBay but that's only because my city isn't big enough so no one would buy it. Is "ice cream sandwich" referring to 3.1? If so, Asus already made an official announcement that the TF will get it in June

Ice Cream Sandwich is the version after Honeycomb, so it will actually come after 3.1. It is supposed to get rid of the "fragmentation" issue with android and make it easier for developers. Shoot, I wonder if I get the HTC Evo 3D, if I will be able to get Ice Cream Sandwich on that down the road. It's supposed to work on both phones and tablets.

3.1 got released what a week ago? Hold your horses kid.
Anyways Asus announced that they were working on 3.1 the day after 3.1 got released, they said expect it within a month.
So I really doubt icecream sandwhich will take 4 months.
I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I was just more curious if ASUS was proactive on pushing updates out. Sounds like they are. I just don't want to have to purchase a new tablet in say 6-7 months if they decide not to upgrade this model.

No, Ice Cream Sandwich is the unification of tablet-Android and traditional phone-Android. It's meant to be used by both.

yea, this is my understanding as well. and it's version is 2.4 (after gingerbread, 2.3)
http://www.pcworld.com/article/216558/android_24_ice_cream_details_drip.html
it is meant to bring some honeycomb goodness into the phone version. so for the TF to get ice cream sandwich would be a downgrade.

2.4 if it exists willvstill be gingerbread. Ice cream sandwich will most likely be 4.0 and will run on phones, tablets and google tv.
Ice Cream Sandwich, unlike Honeycomb, will be open source. So we'll definitely see it on the TF one way or another.
okay so most of you guys don't know what your talking about let me explain.
Phones: Gingerbread 2.3
GoogleTV: Custom Froyo 2.2
Tablets: Honeycomb 3.0.1/3.1.
3.1 is a honeycomb update that adds a few features and improvements.
Gingerbread 2.3 is the last version of the phone only android.
Ice Cream Sandwich, which will most likely be 4.0 but at least something greater than 3.1 combines Phones, GoogleTV, and Tablets all into one OS.
With Ice Cream Sandwich, all devices will be running the same version of android.
It will come out this holiday first and according to google most current gen devices will get it. There is no reason why the transformer won't get ICS this holiday.

I did some research and I guess I didn't know what I was talking about, but my thing was if it was going to be on a phone wouldn't it have a phone interface. Why would you want a phone interface on your tablet? I think they are going to accomplish this by having different interfaces on different LCD densities as shown here:
http://phandroid.com/2011/05/20/set...y-above-160-get-a-taste-of-gingerbread-video/
I am in no way an Android/coding expert but this is the only way that makes sense.

With ICS the honeycomb UI is being redesigned for the phones.
On tablets ICS will probably look identical to honeycomb just like eclair through gingerbread didn't change much other than images.
But on phones, it'll be a complete redesign of the android UI taking the honeycomb holographic UI and bringing it over to phones.

Two things to consider here:
1. The Launcher - this can be different across different devices if Google wish, because this is essentially just an application.
2. Fragment support - probably the biggest single addition to Honeycomb is the addition of fragments. Effectively this introduces a single consistent API for multi-paned applications (think Honeycombs Gmail etc). Essentially, an application can decide what fragments a particular device can display and adjust its UI accordingly, so there's no need for a tablet and phone version of a particular application.
Ice Cream Sandwich is effectively the unification of Honeycomb and Gingerbread effectively, and will allow the same OS to serve up a different UI and experience between different classes of device.

This will presumably put android on a similar basis as Apple's IOS which is used on iphones and ipads

Not exactly! If anything, it puts it ahead of iOS because it should allow for tablet apps to run on a phone, and vice versa.

True, and you can see now on honeycomb that if you change the LCD density (to show a more dense screen such as a phone) the Gingerbread Interface because default on a reboot.
the biggest thing i've seen and this is what makes it better then the ios is the fact that games that are ment for a phone will properly scale for tablets where as games that are on the iphone that aren't ment for the ipad look grainy at the very least so this will give a lot more freedom when coming to cross platforming
Dead thread stay dead!
Anyone have an inkling on the possibilities of Ice Cream Sandwich for our Gtablet?
I guess anything is possible. Nobody thought we'd have working Honeycomb as of 3 months ago...
Damn, us gtab users are demanding. Ice scream sandwich isn't even out yet, and there's already a demand for it.
Doubt it

Like everything else for the G Tab it will be a hack since Viewsonic told its G Tab fan base to go ef themselves.
Ice cream sandwich will be open source unlike honeycomb. There might be possible that NVidia also can release drivers because source availability. If things go in the mentioned way then we can expect Ice cream sandwich. But ICS will be merge of GB and HC, not quite sure how much value add it will provide to the end users, but for Google and Vendors it great leap because of one version works for all. Lets wait and see...

I guess Google held back release of HC code because of fear of the two separate version of Android code in the market. Google wants no confusion, and so decided to release ICS to the communities and vendors. Again, it all depends ont he company's decision at that moment. Lets wait and see...
Hope for the best always
gTablet done, IMHO
No signs of any life re extending gTablet's life by manufacturer. And in today's aftermarket $MMI conference call another two tablets coming by year's end. No details other than 4LTE. A crowded field, all playing catch-up to the iPad 1/2. If the gTablet gets any further enhancements it will only due to the great work of the XDA developers here.
I was wondering if anyone knew if the Xoom was going to get the update to ice cream sandwich? Ive searched high and low on the net be i havent got any official conformation. Ive seen alot of sites saying "Of course it will, since the Motorola was just bought by google and since the Xoom was the first honeycomb tablet". That may sound good but that doesnt make it official. If anyone knows please let me know. Also if there is a link that has an official list, it would be nice to see.
My Google told me the Xoom will be the first tablet with Ice Cream Sandwich:
Motorola Xoom to get Ice Cream Sandwich
... but without an actual date...
It'll have ICS next year.
Is that link even reputable? I didn't see any sources.

Wow, someone managed to actually port it to the Desire Z !!! Sadly, even the touchscreen doesn't work He was kind enough to post a guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18607221#post18607221
DEVs, GET TO WORK
there's also a port for the nexus s. I'm not sure which would be easier to port but i'm guessing the desire z! I wonder how long it will take them to get it at least useable.
Today morning I was forced to install Custom ROM, so I know how it works now therefore I want ICS bad!

Decide for what? Ice Cream Sandwich is still not available for our device yet you're deciding to choose and what to use? lol. ICS far much better than Gingerbread as it's a combination of Honey Comb and Gingerbread in terms of performance and UI.
if you meant changes, mainly the UI which is kind of similar to Honey Comb but slightly different and ICS works in any devices that can run Gingerbread even on such a small screens smartphones. the ability to use front-facing camera as a lock screen and other stuffs like that. just google it if you are that interested about what's new on ICS

GingerBread is 2.3 and IceCream Sandwich is 4.0 so it's obvious that IceCream Sandwich is better.....
For the changelog, go to the link below.....

alright. just inform me if ICS is already available to our hand set. Thanks
I don't think anyone is going to do the port for our phone, FIT looks like its the ugly one on galaxy line lol.
in 4 years maybe
It may be still possible, look at the X8 and X10 Mini sub forums here on XDA, they are already having an ICS port. as well as the LG Optimus One, it's almost like the Galaxy Fit. We just don't have any devs available and one that would volunteer to work on a port for our device.
It's just really sad we only have a few developers working for our device, it's also sad some like Praytush have move to a new device as well so he won't be able to make ports and stuffs for us anymore (maybe ?)
