Samsung has done the best job so far at adding Ice Cream Sandwich to many of their unlocked devices -- the Samsung Galaxy S 2 in particular. Samsung’s list shows a lot more on their way, but updates to branded devices seem to stall in carrier-specific testing. Galaxy Tab users outside of Canada are still waiting for ICS.
