Sorry if this is a noob question but do we think this guy (and others like it in the next couple months) will get the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA? That is something I am trying to hold out for...

As far as my sources indicate, there is no info regarding this right now. It's up in the air as to which devices will get ICS, and nothing has been confirmed at all about it yet, except that the Samsung Droid Nexus Prime phone will be the first device with ICS. Perhaps someone else might have heard more...

Thanks man. I read the Toshiba Excite will be getting it also whenever it shows, but of course that isn't confirmed, just that someone heard a Toshiba rep say it second hand. Something tells me that it will be worth waiting for though.
