(Update: thanks janish for the time fix)
Google is finally putting the @Android account to use, and seems to be calling all Android lovers to follow. They have opened the floodgates of information as ICS approaches and added a new statue at their campus !
Looks like we finally have confirmation that the Galaxy Nexus Prime and the Ice Cream Sandwich release, which were earlier to be released on the 11th of Oct will now be released on the 19th of Oct 2011. The event has been moved to the 19th and some are speculating that despite Google and Samsung used Steve Jobs’ passing as an excuse the real reason was their FCC clearance delays.
Either way we will have more on this shorty, and expect full coverage during launch time.
A full fist of Android Ice Cream Sandwich screenshots have made it to the leaks section today. Making it even more and more difficult for the world to hold on for the devices launch.
Check em out flavored like Honeycomb:
Google and Samsung were all set to launch their prized possession at their “unpacked event”, until Steve Jobs passed away. The company has decided to pay homage to the Technology Titans death by postponing the launch of the supposed Samsung Galaxy Device.
Samsung and Google decide to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced.
–Samsung
A Spokesperson from Google later commented:
We believe this is not the right time to announce a new product as the world expresses tribute to Steve Jobs’s passing,”
Okay now that the event is not happening, does not mean that some eager individual lacking voice cannot post a sneak peek of the device (Galaxy Nexus)
The Leaked Nexus Prime firmware was still based on rumor, but to avoid its spread , Samsung’s legal department appears to have confirmed both the existence of the phone and rumors that device was built by Samsung.
It has come to our attention that you are wrongfully in possession of, and intend to release or otherwise publicly disclose without Samsung’s consent, firmware for the Nexus Prime

Looks like Google’s dropout with HTC will continue for the coming up proprietary Google Smartphone, Usually dubbed as a developer phone, these devices get the latest versions of Android OS first and also run Stock un modded-roms. This time around the device may be dubbed the ‘Nexus Prime’ and will be manufactured by Samsung, just Like the Nexus S.
According to BGR, the new Nexus Prime will have a “Super AMOLED HD” resolution display which will have a 720p size. There are also reports of the OMAP4460 being used as the main processor in the device.
There are also reports that this time around Google may have a multi device launch for the Ice Cream Sandwich (seriously!) that could include flagship devices from everyone including HTC, Samsung, Motorola and even LG.

The folks from Pocketnow have got exclusive pictures of the upcoming Asus PADFone. According to the images, the android phone will dock behind a Touchscreen shell with a shielded cover. Now the only thing speculating the web-o-sphere is whether this will run Gingerbread or the muti-platform Ice Cream Sandwich.
Google has just officially announced that they are working on the next build of Android that works together on all devices. In their own words “One OS that runs everywhere.” This OS will adapt to its device identifying the smartphone from a tablet and customizing itself to fit the bill properly. The launch of ICS is scheduled for Q4 2011.
