Samsung Italy says that ICS update is coming to the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, and other tablets

Obviously, we can drool about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Nexus in our dreams, and even the razor thin construction of the Motorola DROID RAZR, since both of them are the poster childs of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Not surprisingly, there are some people out there who are probably slamming their heads against the wall for picking up a top-notch Android smartphone right now, say like the Samsung Galaxy S II, rather than waiting to pick up those aforementioned devices.

Fortunately, there might be some good news headed their way – well, we’re crossing our fingers that it’s going to be happening everywhere. Specifically, Samsung Italy is reportedly confirming that the Ice Cream Sandwich update is going to come to some of Samsung’s devices next year. From the sound of it all, Android ICS is expected to be delivered to the following devices sometime during the second quarter of 2012:

• Samsung Galaxy S II
• Samsung Galaxy Note
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

Needless to say, there are going to be some ecstatic owners out there, but it’s not certain for sure if Android ICS will be coming to all devices in markets outside of Italy. Regardless, it’s one serious undertaking by the Korean based company to follow through with this anticipated roll out, but if they’re able to do it, we’re sure that they’ll be able to concretely reel in some loyalty during the whole process.
