[Rumor] Ice Cream Sandwich May Be Released on November 17th

[dgstorm]

Here's a great rumor. Apparently, Rohan Shravan, the Founder of Notion Ink, just let slip an interesting tidbit on their WordPress blog. He indicated that they are expecting developers will start getting Android 4.0/ICS on November 17. Of course, speculation would be that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will probably be released around that same time. Here's a quote from the blog post,

Hello All,

Today we are doing a full system migration and platform test for our support system.

To ensure all the requests/tickets are migrated successfully to our new system, we would be offline for 4 hrs from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM IST. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

17th is when we are expecting ICS to be finally out with the source, and then you will see whole community (aka TabletRoms) and NI pushing in ROMs with different flavors.

With Warm Regards

Rohan Shravan

It won't be long now! dancedroid

This is good news. Bring on ICS ROMS for older devices! :icon_ lala:

Makes sense...the Gingerbread source code was released the day after the Nexus S came out. With the Galaxy Nexus supposedly due out on Nov 17 in Europe, this follows that pattern.

Haha... I remember Rohan! for like a year I was on pins and needles waiting for the adam... It came out, a read some reviews and decided it didn't live up to the hype... such a letdown! amazing concept device though! Other companies need to learn from it!

If the Nexus takes forever to launch, well still have ICS roms! Win!
