There is a petition of 2.2 that is signed by 24k people, but Samsung didn't care of it. I don't think that Samsung really cares about people. CM9 (Android 4.0) was released for spica, check my thread here or development forum on samdroid.net.
Thanks!

Spica can handle ICS, the development will pick up as soon as we get a stable 2.3

What I'm thinkin' is - they are so much more interested in sells process or cooperation's with other companies, that they have us - users of "middle, low end" phones somewhere, where even sun don't wants to go to...

but samsung is not the only one who doing this - htc is just the same.

nokia - for example - without any customer surveys mad decision about finishing all of production of "E" (business) series, and created different code names and lover quality products - for example something like asha.

For me - personally - spica was first and last smartfon operated by android - all of this fragmentation is making me sick - samsung is developing 3 models very similar to each others, and then they are lying that every of those three is to slow, to low to soft upgrade. motorola is even better - there's a sub page which is informing every "pre-cunsomer" which model will get upgrade and which will not (wtf? - a care of public relations?).

htc - in 2009 they were developing few new models at one year, now - i don't have any idea how many models and sub models they have made in every three month :-|

apple - i really respect, that all of their product is unix based - but i don't like prices and balls-handling-policies - of using their soft (what i mean: apple - U don't want to users use your system in any way it is possible? start selling only hardware!).

i don't have really believe in all of new techs, so i don't expect miracles, but it's very nice to see, that all around the world - there are peoples/users, who thinks more/less like me

Take care all and stay Mind Clear for or this marketing/sells and public relations brain washing!

Would certainly be good if Samsung could at least release a kernel. The main bits missing are drivers for camera and megnetometer etc so with those we could easily make it work...

Added my name to the petition.

even if every owner of spica signs it .it is very unlikely that samsung will respond.......
just see their premier product two years back galaxy s was denied ics which still has better hardware compared to the current phones running ics.............

the thc desire c which has 90% same specs as explorer has ics........
and explorer was denied ics....this should give a idea of the situation........
