Gear Diary Verizon Announces 14 Android Devices Are Getting 4.0 ICS Updates This Year! photo

While Motorola threw a wet towel on the Ice Cream Sandwich party recently with a schedule making it look like we wouldn’t see updates anytime soon, while on the Verizon Wireless site yesterday contemplating tablet data plans I stumbled across this news posting detailing which devices would be upgraded this year:

Verizon Wireless will deliver a tasty treat to many smartphone and tablet customers this year – Android™ 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).
It’s a frozen snack that many in the Android community have been eager to try since ICS launched in December 2011 on the Galaxy™ Nexus™ by Samsung. The redesigned user interface includes many cool enhancements, including upgraded multitasking capabilities, notifications and Web browsing.

Wondering if your device will receive Ice Cream Sandwich? Here’s a list of Verizon Wireless devices currently scheduled to be upgraded.

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!

    Awesome!  The ICS update will come just in time for the launch of Jelly Bean!

    And I’m only being mildly sarcastic here…

      So true.  And as was pointed out to me, anyone WITHOUT a 4G phone is totally screwed.  Which is lousy.
