AnonD-3303, 27 Dec 2011How about Hardware Acceleration? How about Camera Panorama... moreHow about Hardware Acceleration? not all ICS phone are getting hardware accesleration. (mostly on single core phones)

How about Camera Panorama (on ALL ICS devices) dotn really see this as a feature you could do this on ios and android a long time ago with apps

How about real CPU multi core support? gingerbread runs fine on dual core and it really is upto dev to make application multi thread or multi core spport

      If the Nexus S can get the update with the same hardware specs as Galaxy S then why Samsung isn't considering it? Ultimately I think one should only go only for the Nexus line of phones to get regular and timely updates.

                I can see the pressure of all the 15~20 million SGS buyers around the world coming down on them :)
                I hope they come up with something useful for the consumers!
                Good luck!

It's still trying to catch up to Android Froyo and still can't match it. That's how outdated Symbian is. Symbian Belle is bringing features in 2012 that Android had years ago.

                  Symbian Belle = Android 1.6

                      Few devs have chimed in and confirmed what samsung had said regarding their devices not having enough space. Maybe a new system partition is in order along with some tweaked TW

                                  i knew they would do this

                                  look what HTC did with their desire they updated it to gingerbread and sense 3.0 .

                                  first they said the phone cant run gingerbread and people got angry on their facebook page

                                        I'm glad that Samsung has listened to users of SGS and SGT. I hope that ICS can be launched for SGS and SGT.
