Samsung Galaxy S II owners in Europe including Poland, Hungary, Sweden and Korea get Android Ice Cream Sandwich update being pushed to their devices via OTA starting today. The mobile giant assures the update to release very soon among other regions and markets steadily. Android ICS is one software improvement that most users want to try fumble around with, while adding new features and new apps to their smartphones. The company promises ICS updates to be made available soon for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Note, and Galaxy S II LTE.

Clarity on carrier specific releases worldwide for ICS update are among things that we can’t really predict too soon as it completely depends upon specifications and presets by wireless companies, based on which the update would be made available or scheduled across lined up regions. We still wait on more info on the same and would keep you posted on the latest buzz.
