Is there any chance to release "Ice Cream Sandwich" for "Nexus s 4G"

Is there any chance to release "Ice Cream Sandwich" for "Nexus s 4G". I think Technical Spec seems fine and older brother has it.

There is a much better chance for the Nexus S 4G to get it, than the Nexus One, that's for sure. In fact, I would be utterly shocked if Google DIDN'T put it on the Nexus S 4G. Don't look for the Nexus S to get it before 2012 though.

Google already said the Nexus S will get ICS about 2 weeks after the Galaxy Nexus is released

I stand corrected

...unless Sprint (of course) screws things up somehow and we have to wait until 2012 to get it for our Nexus S 4G.

The update comes from Googles servers

Correct, but I have little to no faith in Sprint...so any time I can get a dig in at them, I do

I would be wary of an SDK port though...but at least you get a taste of the real thing! Hopefully we'll see it by Thanksgiving. That would be awesome!

Google has started pushing the update over the air (OTA) to GSM Nexus S devices - i.e. Tmobile. The official release of it for the NS4G can't be too far behind.

Google has also posted, just today, the ICS binaries for NS4G including WiMax (i.e. the "4G" part of NS4G). I'm sure developer builds of fully functioning ICS builds with 4G will be out soon.

I recently installed the oICS ROM from ROM Manager and WiMAX worked without any problems. The only issue I had with that ROM is that the homescreen/launcher will crash if you scroll through the homescreens too quickly. It's a weird little quirk. I decided to wait it out and go back to GB until the OTA is pushed.

Otherwise, ICS is very nice. The UI is excellent (compared to GB) and battery life seems a *little* better. It still died within 6 hours on me, but that was an hour longer than GB.
