Samsung officially announces ICS for the Galaxy S II as well as "Value Pack" for Galaxy S

Well it seems that someone at Samsung's PR had jumped the gun as Samsung "Officially" announced that ICS would be rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S IIs in Asia and Europe gradually followed by other markets. Worth noting is that they mention the Galaxy Tabs (10.1 and 8.9), Galaxy S II LTE and Galaxy Note will follow suit after and that the Galaxy S line would be receiving a value pack which includes "Facebook Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others". We aren't sure what "Facebook Unlock" means but we're guessing it's a typo for Face Unlock. See the full announcement after the break.

Samsung certainly doesn't seem like they are in the Holiday spirit as news has broke that they will NOT be upgrading the Samsung Galaxy S to Android 4.0.
