The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has now been on sale in the UK for a good couple of weeks, so its about time we see other mobiles getting updated to Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0).

Google have stated on their Twitter account that the Android 4.0 update for the Google Nexus S is now in testing. That's good news for owners of the smartphone, which was the first mobile to feature Android 2.3 when it launched last year.

The Google Nexus S is still a great smartphone that will benefit greatly from the update to the latest version of Google Android. You'll be able to use Face Unlocking, Visual Voicemail, Wi-Fi Direct and much more.
