Samsung Galaxy S i9000 to get Gingerbread in March?

Samsung Galaxy S users in the states must be green with envy now – according to some reports online, somebody at Samsung Germany stated that the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (the version of the Galaxy S that’s been sold everywhere except the states, currently on Android 2.2) will be receiving the Gingerbread update this March. It these statements turn out to be the truth, the Samsung Galaxy S will be one of the first phones to officially receive the Gingerbread update with the other 2 phones before it being the flagship Google phones (Nexus S and Nexus One). It comes as no surprise that the Galaxy S phone will get the update, but seeing the pitiful state of the Galaxy S phones in the US (some are still stuck on 2.1), we wonder if we’ll be going through the same delays that we did waiting for Froyo?

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more. Samsung is responsible for an amazing 20% of South Korea's exports. In the consumer electronics world, Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
