You can read the full statement from HTC below.
We are excited about the latest update for Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, and are currently reviewing its features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. Our goal for Android updates is to give every customer an improved user experience, which means balancing each phone's unique hardware, HTC Sense experience and the Android kernel.

AnonD-16241, 20 Oct 2011this beast can blow other phones out of water. it is so smooth. no lag. and it is ICS android ... moreYour comments clearly show your unconditional hatred towards Nokia and not necessarily your blatant love for Sammys and Android. Cmon dude, get a life; would you? The camera on this phone is puny when compared to N8, its the 1080p video recording that impressed me. As for lag free interface, if you have read the article carefully, you would have known that it does feel a bit laggy, could be a pre-release issue but quite there, none the less. However, N9 is not laggy at all. As for dual core processor and impressive GPU, Android is known to be power hungry and requires more resources to do a similar job than a Meego or even a Symbian. I would like to know the battery back-up of this device. Please appreciate the device for its strengths and criticize it for its weaknesses rather than getting involved in mud-slinging, you have your backyard for it. :0

lambo, 20 Oct 2011I'm sorry, but I don't get the reviewer's comment on how ICS will end Android fragmentation. D... moreUmm.... the skin the UI is using has absolutely nothing to do with fragmentation. Anyone can change the skin of their Android phone with a launcher, the underlying OS is what causes fragmentation. ICS fixes that by creating a baseline for both phones and tablets that will all be supported in the future across tablets and phones.
You don't seem to understand what people mean when they say 'fragmentation'. No one is talking about the manufacturers UI's those can be as different as they want, and the OS underneath will still support what the core OS does.

I'm not sure if this is in the plan but dare I say a more Apple approach may be better i.e. the new OS can be scaled to work on any hardware (within 3 generations or so).

this beast can blow other phones out of water. it is so smooth. no lag. and it is ICS android which is the latest and best OS better than dumb buttonless meego N9. This phone can do magic like touchable holographic, and it has the most powerful cpu and gpu than any other phone.it has bt4, sd card upto 64 gb,HDMI and the camera is much way better than Nokia's shitty N8. RIP nokia. Hail samsung, android , google and fandroids like us.

All new and recent top end devices will be running ICS, setting the path for all previous versions to be non existant in the future.
Eventually in time every android device will be running ICS

Where is it ? I find it unacceptable for a 500-600 euro phone. ios sucks ..so the only option left is windows phone which has no hdmi or gyroscope or usb thetering..damn where is the perfect phone ???

Has anyone else noticed that as the keys on the bottom take up part of it, the usable screen picture looks to be the same as the s2 ?, should have had proper keys as too not intrude on a big screen !

Bar the HD screen resolution, it will be interesting to see how it compares with the SGS 2 once that also gets the ICS update.

How does ICS help fragmentation? May be between new tablets and new phones but I would say that between phone and phone is by far the biggest problem. Unless ICS is going to show up on my old Desire this seems to be adding to the problem without an Android version that has the ability to scale between old and new hardware.
