[Download] Samsung-Google Nexus S Gets Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Update

Good news for Samsung-made Google Nexus S owners. Via its @GoogleNexus Twitter feed, Google has announced that they have started rolling out the Android 4.0.x Ice Cream Sandwich OS from today. The OTA update will be rolling out for the rest of the month. Currently, the update is being pushed out the GSM/UMTS capable Samsung Nexus S handsets.

Although the update rolls out OTA (over the air), it will probably take some time until all Nexus S users will be able to upgrade to Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Google has provided any details of Android ICS update for Sprint’s CDMA capable Nexus S 4G handsets, but it should be rolling out in the coming weeks and it shouldn’t be long to take the roll out process officially

Here is the tweet from Google:
