If this is true, it's unfortunate. However, I think we would all appreciate a solid ICS build, rather than a buggy, nonfunctional one.
Hi!
Would be very nice to be true !
Jeezus effin' christ... if I'd treat my customers like Archos does, I would be out of business by now.

Well if you think about it, only a small portion of archos customers are G9 user, and even a smaller portion even know or care what ICS is and if their tablet is getting it or not

While I won't/can't dispute this, I don't really think that has any bearing here. Now, if archos hadn't ever said anything relating to releasing ICS at all then that would be a valid argument, but since they did, and have now failed to meet 2 deadlines, this argument has no bearing. Now that being said, I don't think we need to get into a rage about it. Yes we all want it, but it's just gonna happen when it happens.

Multiple people have emailed archos and been told that those about the 1st week of feb date, and as far as I know, the end of Feb date actually appeared on the scene because of a different reply to someone who emailed them. In my opinion that is confirmed, even if it's just tech support who emailed them.

Well they have just posted on the facebook page about ICS that it will be finished in 2 weeks and they apologize for the delay but don't want to give a buggy version .
I have been checking on samsung galaxy 8.9 tab and they also don't have official Ics still , so we are not alone
"Official ARCHOS, Inc.
Regarding the upgrade to ICS: We apologize for the delay, but it is important to us to deliver a smooth transition over to Android 4.0 and to make sure that your experience is a positive one. We fully anticipate deploying the upgrade within the next two weeks. Thank you for your continued support of ARCHOS."
On what facebookpage? I see nothing.

Oh never HTC? Are you out of your mind?... Just because HTC got a day or 2 late makes u feel uncomfortable enough that.u won't buy most reliable brand?...
Talk of Sony.. I bought X10 mini launched in 2 010, they didn't even update that to Froyo...
Yeah.. The wait was excitement for a better software... I kept my phone running one Rom for 2 months... I don't waiting a day or 2 more...
There must be solid reason they got a bit late... I can imagine what could be going through their developers...
Just relax.. Chill out... Wait another day or 2...
at least they announced that u will get update...unlike sony who strictly said..No Updates...
Talk about Apple...I had the Iphone for more than 2 years. The updates to the OS never bring something really new, the main reason I figured Apple does then is to keep the phones locked. At least Android is much more flexible. You cannot compare a huge company like Apple that has to develop an update for just one product to an update for Android that has to be adapted for hundreds of different devices.
Actually this whole gingerbread fuss is becoming funny after a while...The only reason I want to have the official update is to see if it will be more battery efficient. I am runnning different Gingerbread Roms ( with Sense because I really like the integration) for a few months now and none of them really brought more battery life to my phone...

Good riddance. Both of you.
I have seen the amount of highlanders HTC support has to deal with daily in the past few days and I genuinely feel sorry for them.
Well at least you can root the phone and use a custom rom to get gingerbread now. Wait, you are using a custom rom - why are you complaining?
damn it all.. what is the actual release date?.. I highly doubt it will be Black Friday because then everyone'll say "why no Black Friday discount price?"..
and please tell me there is no 16GB version... that it was a joke and it's going to be the 32GB for $299.99/contract

the Bionic & it's release date was a total disaster. This phone however, will not be. Sure they are dilly daddlin' about with the release date, but have assured us it will be out before years's end.
I primarily want a confirmation on the 32GB model/pricing... and of course, since we all know about the RAZR & re:Zound release dates, it's just bizarre that Samsung is still not giving a definite answer on this one.

LOL you've got to be kidding me. Unless this is delayed 8 months, it won't "Bionic itself". Even if we knew what the release date of the GN was, it wouldn't be out yet (it won't come out before the 17th). How come everyone insists that it's delayed when we've never had a release date in the US?
And how can the first phone with ICS launched be obsolete at release? lol.

Hi Everyone,
I was just on the phone with Acer Support to replace a broken charger (The tip of my current charger just sort of fell off once night, and I had to pull it out of the charging port using a small pin) and asked about ICS update.
The fellow mentioned that ICS should be out in Canada for May 3rd of this year. Sounds pretty reasonable? I think I'll stick to the official firmware for the meantime...

Just off the phone with ACER
Just got off the phone with ACER. Asked about the update for the A100. I asked when is it scheduled to come out, and have you an exact date on the OTA Update? I was told No. The customer service person was very Rude i might add. Also, i then followed up with, well your press release states it would roll out in mid April sometime, is that still the case? The response i received was Yes, well Maybe... Maybe I said, he said it may be in May sometime or it may be in April. He would not give any more information on this. Anyway, figured I would let the owners of the A100 know that we still are likely not to get this in April, given ACER`s track record for pushing back their release dates on previous tablets and updates.
Why do people think the zombie tech support people know when things are coming out or much anything else besides what is given to them in scripts to read off to customers -_-
ICS will come out when it comes out the leaks despite gaming bugs are great. Atleast we have leaked firmware the one phone I have (Sidekick 4g) ended up being a samsung shunned child that never saw the light of day getting official gingerbread let alone ics :c

Acer has posted some FAQs about when to expect the ICS update for their tablet models, which was why I was asking. Of course I was dealing with a different issue and the CS had the option to say "sorry sir, we don't have that information". I always expected to get the official update around my birthday; which is May 4th

So I ordered a galaxy nexus the first day of I/O after the price drop and the announcement they would ship with Jellybean. I got mine an hour ago and surprise it has 4.0.4. with no update available. WTF. So I try multiple times to call google support and it hangs up on me every time. Just thought I would let you guys know, it may not actually come with JB. I'm pissed off right now.
From what I've seen and read, they announced it to be the first phone to have jellybean. I didn't see any indication that it would ship with 4.1 Only the freebie phones were expected to have JB preinstalled
Just flash the new build or wait a few days for the OTA to come in.

They never said it would ship with JB. The Nexus 7 ships with JB and the participants to the conference received units that would update to a "preview" build of JB. Again, they never said the Galaxy Nexus was going to ship with JB at this time. They also clearly stated that they would be updated OTA in mid-July.
its not supposed to come with Jellybean officially until mid july. where did Google say it will be shipped with JB?
Maybe I dreamed I heard that but they sure do make it look like it does if you look at the product page.

Its a developer version and not the final product. I would advise doing that unless you want to hold his hand on maintaining his device when it comes to flashing.

Thanks but we're both experienced with the end-to-end process and have done it many times. I was just saying that as a "surprise" for him I would have it done already since I know that's the first thing he would do anyway.
But yes... in general I would agree. I wouldn't do this for a regular user who doesn't care about unlock/root/etc.

I was going to get the S3 for my wife, but considering the lower price of GN (by $200) and minor differences in features and functions that would not mean much to my wife, I have decided to get this phone instead. The prospect of putting the new Jelly Bean OS really did tip the balance for my decision, though. I like that buttery smooth operation of Jelly Bean. I'll probably put the custom ROM on hers before giving it to her. I don't think providing customer service for her would be a problem for me~
My advice, patiance. Let's just hope they keep providing the URL's. So we can download and manually flash the rom.

I love that we are getting JB now just after a couple months the rest of the world started getting ICS.
In 2-3 weeks there will be released versions of JB. It seems like a pretty short wait for the official version. If you are running stock, I don't think it is worth putting the hacked version on your phone unless you know what you are doing.

Well not that old cos It's still a good device that provides great user experience. I agree but when we're talking about such fast developing technology and update policy two years means a lot!
As far as I remember Google hasn't officially announced devices to get KLP yet so we can just speculate. But I wouldn't be much surprised if we didn't get it.

Gnex was released october 2011 iirc, that makes about 1,5 years, by the time android 5.0 comes the Gnex will almost be around for 2 years, yes.
Non-google phones of that age have been supported. There's more reason to thingk the GNex will be included than not.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The Nexus S got Jelly Bean, I see no reason why the G Nex wouldn't get KLP
Didn't Google promise to support nexus devices over at least a set month period? Around the time ICS came out I want to say they said 18 months, or maybe more. Even if they don't, we will see ROMS worked up for them. And if you look at the old nexus devices, updates didn't happen due to hardware limitation. Unless they got some new feature that demands a hardware feature be on the phone and we don't have it, I doubt they will stop updating us.
In terms of CPU/GPU GNEX is unfortunately not even close to 2012 flagships (not to mention 2013 beasts). I am not saying that our TiOMAP won't be able to handle KLP but it can be used as an excuse. I hope not.

I am not saying anything. I've no idea about KLP's requirements. No idea what google decides either. We're all just speculating here. I was basically trying to figure out a possible excuse not to give us KLP. And CPU/GPU is GNexus' weakest side comparing to 2012 and newer handsets. That's all.
* In 2012 HTC One S with S4 Krait was also considered a mid end device.
It may or may not come out for our devices, technology advances pretty quickly, if we get it, good, if not, too bad, Google did not owe us anything.
