Yes ICS has been released for these devices.
Well, I've found this on the web
HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks.

I'm using IceColdSandwich as well, but having camcorder working is a big deal!
Just 2 days ago I was burning inside for not be able to record my drunk friends xD
IMHO official ICS= camcorder working, I can't figure out what else could mean...
I can't wait for the official release too! One of nu friends had the official ICS on his Nexus and it's amazing, just amazing.
Last few days I'm checking for the ICS update every hour...

The stock ROM from HTC will have all of the appropriate drivers for wifi, bluetooth, camera, cam-corder, etc, so those apps should work better on. HTC doesn't have to release the source code for these drivers.
CM9 and AOSP based ROMS generally have generic device drivers that don't always work correctly or as well as the stock ROMs.

"Like the Desire S software update, the software update for the Incredible S will bring with it Sense 3.0, along with its goodies like a 3D launcher, and a widget-izied lock screen. The Android version will also be bumped to 2.3.5, and will also bring Google Talk with video chatting capabilities to the handset."
How come no one have posted these links?
So, looks like HTC won't ignore the IncS owners! For now...

Read the twitter link from PaulOBrian.
"So Saga and Vivo (Desire S and Incredible S) have official Sense 3.0 builds now. "
If the builds are done, it shouldn't be long before they release it.
But then again, you never know with HTC. For me it seems like they're pretty slow at updating their phones...

Agreed. I had the original Samsung Galaxy before the Incredible S. The updates from Samsung were buggy and slow to non-existent. That was what prompted me to move to HTC since they seemed much better.
So why does desire s have it and inc s doesn't? They are virtually the same.
And saying there are a lot of phones not having it is a non-sense argument. VIVO is not an old phone. So it is our right to expect better service

As someone with 16000 S-On Im really glad to hear this .. as for the banter on HTC's speed or lack of for updates ... HTC builds are cranked out faster unofficial or official than any other phone models I own ... Normally I don't care much for official rollouts but as there's no s off working for me atm ,knowing that there is confirmed rollouts coming I'm quite happy to wait ... Definate worth waiting for solid n stable than quick n buggy fota...
Can't wait for this to hit, Mike will have a new base for his Android Revolution HD Rom.
Yes that's fantastic news. Hopefully with the new official Sense 3 ROM, more custom ROMS will be available for us IncS users instead of having devs and cooks port ROMs from other handsets. Perhaps soon we'll have more choice of custom sense ROMs! =)
Yeaa, can't wait. Hope they don't put the project on hold, because of the resources they need for ICS device updates.

Does anyone know the exact differences between Sense 3.0 and 3.5? I've tried both ROMs before and there a few UI changes (e.g the tick and the checkbox is different) and you can jump from dialer to contacts, favorites etc directly from the jog dial and the bottom.
Hey guys,
Thanks to Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo we now have a full system+recovery dump of the Galaxy Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich.

This is really cool.
Wow, hopefully now developers can create ICS inspired custom roms. Cheers!
there's like 10 of these over at the dhd section lol
No ... This is a system dump from the phone ... Not an SDK dump ... This good ...

Where did you hear this?
These are the files you need to port a device. They need to be altered severely to run on the incs. Extreme development knowledge is needed to make use of this. However a developer could grab bits and pieces from it if they have greater knowledge in one area than another.
The ics update will be coming to this and many other htc devices as stated yesterday to myself in a bell store by an htc rep.

Let me quote myself:
"Right now[...]"
You see? I'm talking about what they've said so far, but what'll happen in the future; sorry, I can't tell and therefore I won't do anything else then hope that HTC will give us an official update to 4.0.
But from what Google said when they showed 4.0, I think that it'll come to the IncS. Sometime.
And to your last part; no, they didn't.
"We’re continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich."
From the same link that I linked in my previous post. So, I'm fully aware of the fact that this only seems to be a preliminary statement from HTC.
Hello everyone, I've a little question for you ? I'm wondering when Cyanogen Mod Team will release 9th version of it ? I'm a bit confused, I check daily Twitter/Cyanogen site.. But nothing.

I do agree and I have been playing a lot with this ROM. However the camera issue is related to HTC. They didn't release the source code of the camera drivers yet.

CM9 is a long way off. There was a post just recently on Google Plus about the way they're trying to work in the options. This is why the tree is still at early alphas. Yes it's ICS, but it's lacking much of the nuances that would make it CyanogenMod including most of the options that we've come to know and love. I'd be surprised if we saw CM9 nightlies for the IncS before late February/early April.

i guess HTC said "later this year" for Incredible S
First of all, HTC must release Drivers for the Incredible S to fully function on ICS. As soon as they release, our developers will start making their ROM. Custom ROM will be atleast 2 months before the official release. But yes, There will be some problems in the start and will get fixed soon. Till Then i can say "Wait for 6 more months if you want to taste the fully functioning Ice Cream Sandwich in your Incredible S"
And then it is the end of the year and everybody looking for Android 5.

I found devs custom rom is always superior than official HTC rom. If HTC will release official ROm i won't go for it. HTC sense doesn't matter for me. Custom roms by devs are always rocks. What you say??
Hi I just want to know if someone has any news from HTC or is following other device's thread and just want to share something that might be interesting to us. It's so sad that development is on hold for a while but let's hope that official ICS release will bring back activity of developers. We need them!

Because there are some glitches, bugs and things not working, I will stay on gingerbread. And I like sense But the features and improvements in the ics roms look very promising, I liked sense 4 very much
Just make a nandroid backup and flash it, then go back to your backup when you are bored lol
I like to go back to a stable rom where everything works
I'm currently running IceCold Sandwich 7.2 and the truth is I'm in love with AOSP/AOKP ICS. Since I bought my IS I've been always a huge fan of Sense recently I flashed back one of Sense 3.5 roms but it's something that don't surprise me anymore. Given that I'll stick with AOSP until the day HTC decides to come out with something great for us.
