[![ICS now officially available for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II][1] ][2]

While it's true a few lucky [AT&T Galaxy S II][3] owners were able to get their hands on the official upgrade to Android 4.0 just a [matter of days][4] ago, the company wasn't ready to push it out to the masses quite just yet. The initial tests must've gone as good as hoped, however, because AT&T is now ready to make ICS publicly available to anyone willing to go through [Kies][5] to grab it. Indeed, the one drawback to this wonderful news is the fact that ICS doesn't just come to you... you need to go to _it. _As in, no over-the-air capabilities. The silver lining to that, though, is that this may actually work out better for anyone that feels better off sticking with the tried-and-true Gingerbread [TouchWiz][6] experience. On a sidenote, AT&T also reaffirmed its commitment to bringing the next version of Android to [more devices][7] this summer, but refused to specify which ones we can look forward to. Head below (or check out the source link) to learn how to grab the update.
