Engineer lists potential HTC devices to receive Ice Cream Sandwich OTA’s

The continued coverage of Ice Cream Sandwich will be running well into next year. With every new device that is launched and with every device that gets an update, you can be sure we will be letting you know. A new list of devices has been revealed is sure to entice you. The list is by no means a 100% “will happen” type of list. It is more so a list of devices that should easily receive an ICS update in the near future. An employee of Google and HTC, Samarth Rasiwasia, put up something we can all at least hopefully look forward too.

Technically all the Android powered devices capable of running of Android Gingerbread will be able to run Android 4.0 ICS but Practically all devices may not give an overall good user experience . So all the manufactures are reviewing ICS on their devices to check the user experience and will release the latest OS according to the results.

HTC’s list of devices that will surely get ICS :
* HTC Sensation (XL,XE,Original)
* HTC EVO 3D
* HTC Incredible S
* HTC Desire HD
* HTC Flyer
* HTC Rhyme
* HTC Desire S
* HTC Salsa
* HTC Desire Z
* Google Nexus One

Does this mean that all of these device will be receiving an update. Probably not. If I had to bet on which devices I felt that HTC would upgrade, I would say the Nexus One is top of the list. Followed by the Sensation variations, EVO 3D and Rhyme. The others listed may find their way to a delicious icy treat, but I would think that the newer devices would be first priority along with a completely new device or two before the updates even started.
