Google Chrome Android released: Google Play store
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid 4.0
Google is trying to end the debate over which mobile browser works best for Android by releasing the mobile version of its popular Chrome browser to the Google Play store on Wednesday. The Android version of the browser had been in Beta until Wednesday and is currently only available for devices that have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher. Google says that the latest version “picks up important stability and performance fixes since the last Beta, along with some minor UI adjustments, especially for tablets.” Key features in Chrome for Android include the ability to sync open tabs, bookmarks and passwords from users’ desktop browser to their smartphone or tablet; the ability to send op...

Ice Cream Sandwich update for AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S II delayed for technical reasons
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungAT&TGoogleGalaxy S IIAndroid 4.0
Last night, it seems that word had slipped out that the Android 4.0 update was available for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S II via Kies. Unfortunately, it turned out that the update was available only for a limited time. For those unfamiliar with the process, Kies allows users to connect their Samsung-made device with a PC or Mac using a USB cable. One use of Kies is to install software updates such as Android 4.0 as an alternative to an OTA update.
So why was the Android 4.0 first made available and then apparently pulled? One AT&T customer decided to discuss the matter with an AT&T rep via a Live Chat. And during this chat, the rep said that the update has been delayed due to "Te...

Android 4.0.3 now available for T-Mobile Galaxy S II, get it while it's cold
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleGalaxy S II T-MobileAndroid 4.0
It may be late in the evening here in the States, but for T-Mobile users, your time in the sun has finally arrived -- Android 4.0.3 is now available via Samsung Kies for the Galaxy S II. According to the carrier, the update won't be made available via an OTA download, which means that if you don't have a PC, you'd best shake down a friend at this late hour -- or, at least give 'em a call in the morning. In addition to Ice Cream Sandwich, the update is said to bring WiFi calling improvements and enhancements to the voicemail system. It'd also be wise to ensure that your phone's software is up-to-date before you begin, as Android 2.3.6 is a prerequisite of the upgrade. Ready to dive in? Just h...

Android 4.0 ICS now on 7.1 percent of active devices
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid 4.0
Google's Android Developer Hub released updated figures for the platform's distribution this week, and while Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is still gaining share, it is doing so at a rather slow pace. Last month, the latest version of Android was on 4.9 percent of active devices, but now it has climbed up to a 7.1 percent share.
New devices that come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, such as HTC's One series, have certainly helped get the updated software into more hands. That trend will continue as Samsung's new Galaxy S III hits more markets and becomes more widely available.

Just because it has no “Ericsson” in its name, that doesn’t mean Sony has forgot about its existing Sony Ericsson customers. Quite the contrary, the company is rolling out firmware updates for select devices wearing both names as we speak.
The select devices are Xperia arc and Xperia neo, which users have reportedly started receiving their servings of Ice Cream Sandwich. The phones will be updated to Android 4.0.4 and will remain on kernel 2.6.32.

LG Spectrum Ice Cream Sandwich ROM leaks, update incoming?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleSpectrumAndroid 4.0
There are a number of things you gotta love about the LG Spectrum. To start, it comes with a gorgeous HD display measuring 4.5 inches in diagonal, and you also get to enjoy Verizon's speedy 4G LTE network. There is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor inside it and an 8-megapixel camera at its back. Yet in charge of this potent hardware we still see the aging Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsASUSGoogleAndroid 4.0
The 7-inch ASUS Eee Pad MeMO ME370T we saw in early prototype form during CES just passed through the FCC. It's still only showing WiFi radios with no trace of a cellular connection, although if it's going to be the $249 standard bearer NVIDIA and ASUS were so excited about, that's to be expected. A juicier rumor that has surfaced in the intervening period however, suggests this device will actually be released as a Google Nexus 7-inch tablet (or just sold from a Google store), and could even feature the next version of Android, codenamed Jelly Bean. It could also sell for as low as $149, although the cheaper reworked version might swap out the Tegra processor for one from Qualcomm. We didn'...

Motorola is finally getting ready to unleash Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on its Droid Razr line of devices.
A series of videos released today from Motorola Japan show off the new OS running on a Droid Razr device.
Motorola provided its own skin for Ice Cream Sandwich, replacing most of the smartphone's icons and adding some useful new features.
The biggest change is that four shortcuts now appear on the phone's lock screen, with Motorola adding messaging and dialer shortcuts to the standard Android 4.0 camera and unlock options.

HTC Sensation XL getting its Ice Cream Sandwich dessert
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleSensation XLAndroid 4.0
Users of the HTC Sensation XL, mostly in Europe and Asia, have received the Android 4.0 update over the air. To make sure you have received it, go to Settings > About phone > Software updates and hit that button. You will be downloading a 200MB package which means those with a strict data cap might want to wait for a Wi-Fi connection before installing it. The exact build that you will be updating to is Android 4.0.3 while HTC Sense remains at 3.6. This brings users some of the new ICS features like Face Unlock, the new app dock and the multi-tasking menu. What you won't be getting is the new UI found on devices carrying HTC Sense 4.0.
