A few days ago, Samsung had no plans for delivering the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system to the owners of a Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab device, but things might have changed recently.
New reports on the matter suggest that the company is currently reconsidering its position towards these updates.
Soon after having announced that it would not provide users of Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab devices with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS due to a series of hardware limitations, the company started to receive a lot of negative feedback from users.
As one can easily imagine, people were irritated by the announcement, since Samsung was actually expected to provide them with the update without a fuss.
The South Korean handset vendor claims that these devices do not sport enough internal memory to accommodate the latest Android release from Google, but users beg to differ.
As a result, the vendor decided to take a closer look into the matter, so as to determine whether there is a way in which Ice Cream Sandwich could work on Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab.
After all, some unofficial ROMs for Galaxy S were already spotted into the wild, offering users the possibility to upgrade their devices.
Chances are that Samsung will deliver the Android 4.0 upgrade to users, but that it will remove some elements from its TouchWiz interface, which is most probably the reason why said devices lack the necessary memory amount required for the upgrade.
Nothing has been officially unveiled on the matter as of yet but, if things are indeed so, it should not be too long before the handset vendor makes a formal announcement.
After all, the Galaxy S was the first successful handset in the series, with millions of units sold in a rather short period of time, and Samsung should rewards its users by delivering the Ice Cream Sandwich platform to their devices as well.
