Update: Samsung Canada says upgrade to Android OS 4.0 “will be available today on select devices”

Good news for some Canadian Samsung Galaxy owners today. I just received an email, plus a press release went out, that Samsung and respective carriers will start to push out the long awaited upgrade to Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich today. Samsung stated that “the upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.”

There’s no word on which carriers or devices will be getting ICS today, just a confirmed list of devices, including various smartphone and tablets. We’ve reached out to Samsung for a bit more clarity, but they do note that “The availability and scheduling of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements. For carrier specific details, please visit your nearest carrier retailer.”

Here’s the complete list of devices that will be graced with Android OS 4.0:
– GALAXY S II
– GALAXY S II LTE
– GALAXY S II LTE HD
– GALAXY S II X
– GALAXY Note
– GALAXY Tab 7.0
– GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
– GALAXY Tab 8.9
– GALAXY Tab 10.1

Update: We’ve heard back from Samsung and it looks like the rollout will start later this week: “The ICS update will be available this week and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.”

More soon!
