The good news is that, so long as an app follows standard interface cues, it should make the leap to ICS with little issue. The OS will scale Honeycomb's Action Bar to fit a smartphone's screen, but there are steps developers can take to ensure that their vision remains intact; options include repackaging the app to exclude devices with non-tablet-sized screens, or building multiple versions of the app into one APK to be optimized for displays of varying sizes.
One of the problems, though, is that for now there's no way to see just how ICS will scale apps to smartphone screens. Google hasn't released the SDK for ICS to developers, so for now it can only offer some general tips on preparing for the update, and developers will have to sit on their code until the time comes that they're able to actually test it.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is just a couple of days away from its U.S. launch and the manufacturer has released a commercial to build up the buzz and create momentum for the phone. The general idea is that it is the best phone out there because it was built by a company "wired" to deliver such products.
