While most CEO’s and upper level executives rarely spill the goods on upcoming products and services, Google’s ex-CEO Eric Schmidt is one exception. Today during the Dreamforce Conference in San Francisco, Schmidt slipped a more concrete release time frame for Android 4.0 (aka: Ice Cream Sandwich) — “sometime in October/November”.

While we’d certainly love to see an October release, we’d also like to see Android 4.0 (ICS) be as awesome as possible. That means developers need time with the new SDK and phone manufacturers need time to (regrettably) do their in-house UI work with custom skins and such, and carriers for testing. Not to mention, the late-2011 Samsung Nexus Prime which is supposed to be the first device to showcase the new OS isn’t slated until November/December anyway. The more we think about it, October is looking less likely.

Estimating and theories aside, hop past the break for Eric Schmidt’s entire Dreamforce keynote…
