Samsung thinks a ‘Value Pack’ will be a good ICS option for the Galaxy S and Tab

There are only a few times when I see the words ‘Value Pack’ that I take a look. When I am buying meat at Safeway, and when I am shopping at Costco. When I hear value pack when it relates to a phone, I think ‘Cheap easy way out that will leave you dissatisfied and disgruntled.’ That’s just my opinion. The latest news out of Korea regarding any hope and dreams of Ice Cream Sandwich landing on the flagship Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab has been drastically reduced to a Value Pack.

We can only hope that the streamline version will receive a new name by the time it gets around to landing on devices. Hopefully they can pull something descent off. I fear that it will just be a themed version of Android, offering the ICS blues and tints to Touch-Wiz. So much of what is ICS is locked into the AOSP code. Don’t expect to see the cool Rolodex widgets or task manager.

What is your thoughts on this potential approach? Is Samsung taking an easy way out to say ‘Something is better than nothing’? Looking for a little way to ease the pain of loyal Galaxy S owners? I know a Value Pack won’t make me happy in the slightest. Thankfully we have developers for taking over where the OEMs continuously fail.
