Good news, everyone who owns a Google Nexus S! Google's Hugo Barra has just confirmed that an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich software update will be provided to owners of the Google Nexus S smartphone absolutely free of charge. Although Barra didn't specify a date, he did mention that it will be made available 'in the coming weeks' so stay tuned for that.
Meanwhile, owners of the Google Nexus One will unfortunately not be able to enjoy the same software update. The Nexus One, the world's first Google Android 'reference' phone, has been deemed too old to run Ice Cream Sandwich. So it will be stuck on Google Android 2.3 which is as far as the official updates roll for it.
To be fair, the Google Nexus One is nearly two years old. It just isn't on the same level, hardware-wise, as the majority of the phones that will be rocking Ice Cream Sandwich in the next couple of years. So perhaps Google's decision to exclude it from the list of devices that will be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich is for the best.
