Samsung Galaxy S owners who've been impatiently waiting for the Android Gingerbread upgrade can rest a little easier now. The smart phone will be ready to accept Android 2.3 later this month.
Funnily enough, Samsung has kept pretty quiet about last month's failed upgrade attempt where Google pulled the plug on the Galaxy S update due to "an issue".
UK users with the Galaxy S should be able to upgrade from "late May". Owners of other Galaxy phones, including the Tab, will have to wait a little longer as Samsung works on Gingerbread software updates for those devices. An exact timescale hasn't been given, and it's made all the slower because each network has its own software approval process.
When moving from Froyo (2.2) to Gingerbread, you should see a noticeable improvement in the performance of multimedia and 3D apps, thanks to a reduced load on the phone's CPU, and a faster, more intuitive user interface, including updated copy and paste.
