Samsung Galaxy R, which is an Android-based smartphone that sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, is getting its serving of Ice Cream Sandwich as we speak. Actually only users in select countries like Sweden are included in the first batch, but after that “test phase” (or whatever) is over, it’s pretty safe to assume other users from all around the world will get the same treatment, too.
However, it’s also worth adding that the new software is still not available to the general public, even in Sweden. Rather, Galaxy R owners are forced to visit a local service center to get the Android 4.0 goodies. That said, we think the Kies rollout and OTA updates are next in line to follow. Nothing stops you from checking for update right now and if nothing is found – try calling a local Samsung support. They may be able to help.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
