yes, in all probability. but chances are high that it will take some time after the initial ICS release (either via custom rom or via official update by motorola / google). i'd be very positively surprised if it takes less than 3 month, so maybe sometimes around february / march or something...
but i also hope that google really improves the whole update process for non nexus phones to ICS, so maybe you'll be able to get it a whole lot faster (but don't count on it)

Just found the app 'heytel' and am loving it. It's a way to quickly send voice messages. It's a great replacement for texts when you're trying to coordinate between a bunch of people.

Its not quite as fun as Cut The Rope - Om Nom is too cool to be challenged - but its a pure puzzle game thats nicely made.

Awesome thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely check it out. I've been waiting for new stages for CTR to come out. I agree Om Nom cannot be matched!

Bionic finally confirmed for 9/8/11 release. Its been a long wait and I know something better will come out in 2 months or something but I still have the original moto droid and its on its last legs so I'll be getting one for sure.

I think I will 2 but I may wait a month for a price drop

The Bionic doesn't really impress me all that much.

There are more impressive phones out?

I have an upgrade in November, I'm hoping they come out with something sweet between the Bionic and then. I'm sick of my Charge.

Swift key is pretty awesome imo, best keyboard i've used for turbo two thumb typing, the corrections are amazing, got to get better at looking at the predictions though.

Nexus Prime is expected to launch in Oct and i supposed to be the first phone to run ICS. Id hold off until at least that one launches, if for no other reason than to try and find a discount on the Bionic if your heart is set.
