HTC confirms Ice Cream Sandwich updates

HTC has posted today on which devices will be receiving the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and some notes, as well.
The devices are the DROID Incredible 2 by HTC, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation 4G, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Raider, HTC Rezound, HTC Rhyme, HTC Thunderbolt and HTC Vivid.



Adds the company: "As for timing, we're in the early stages of rolling out Android 4.0 for the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE and upgrades will be more widely available in the next few weeks. The update for the HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XL will follow."

HTC does note, however, that even though they may be pushing out the updates, "it will take time for all carriers in each country to get the update."

Android 4.0 for HTC devices will come with the newly updated HTC Sense 3.6 overlay layer.

No love for the less than out of contract... Evo 4G? The first 4G phone?

Honestly, I'm so sick and tired of the phone rackets.

I'm thinking, Non-smart phone + Android tablet might be in my future

I guess the early adopters (EVO 4G owners) will have to wait for a kind 3rd party developer to port something...again...

Here's what I don't understand: HTC is always saying that the EVO 4G doesn't have power or memory to handle the latest OS/Sense updates, and yet XDA Developers proves them wrong with port after port after port, all of which run great on the EVO 4G.

Here's a suggestion for HTC -- FIRE everyone on your current development team and replace them with the KIDS porting ROMs over on XDA.
