Last week, Google announced a new flavor of its Android operating system, namely Ice Cream Sandwich, and Samsung, the maker of the first device to run under the OS, has confirmed plans to release the update to its Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether all of these devices will get a taste of the new platform flavor, but we now know for sure that some of the latest ones will.

Among them, we can count the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note smartphones, along with Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet PCs.

Reportedly, the info comes from Samsung Italy, which confirmed that the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade for these devices will be released sometime in 2012.

For the time being, no specific info on whether the update will be released for mid and low-end Samsung Android devices emerged, but chances are that the handset vendor will make an official announcement on this soon.
