I run ICS on my Galaxy S. Right now the only feature not functioning is video recording. Definitely worth the side-grade from my Droid X (which locked the boot-loader). $100 for the S, sold the Droid X for $90. It looks like TouchWiz deserves most of the blame here — according to Samsung Tomorrow, neither device has enough RAM or ROM to accomodate TouchWiz and all of its Samsung-designed accoutrements without affecting the quality of use. Ah, the vendor screws up vanilla ICS and blames the device for not having the memory to run these "improvements".

I'm very annoyed there is no ICS. Maybe I have to try this out cyanogen stuff. I was at a tech meeting in Singapore where a Samsung rep introduced their android tablet last year. Someone asked him when Samsung would stop putting touch wiz on the phone just give us the vanilla os. He said that would never happen because phone companies want to 'differentiate' themselves. Its plain weird to me that these companies can't accept that these horrible customizations are not giving them an advantage. Their differentiation is going to be on price and hardware. I guess they can't let go of the old business model?
