Samsung has revealed that its Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab 7" tablet will not be getting the new Ice Cream Sandwich update.
The company explanation:
The company explained
that the devices could not be updated due to hardware limitations
that would not be able to run the new Android ICS alongside
Samsung’s custom TouchWiz user interface.
The explanation,
however, seems inconsistent since the Android 4.0 update is already
out to Samsung’s Nexus S, which features similar specs. The Galaxy S packs the same 1GHz Humming-bird
processor and enough memory for ICS.
Therefore, what’s
really preventing the ICS update is Samsung’s custom TouchWiz
interface and a host of other “ enhancing” software
that already take up a lot of resources. Nexus S, unlike the Galaxy S, need not deliver
TouchWiz, carrier services, video calling software, and mobile TV.
