ICS time lines updated by HTC, June - July look like big Months

When Android first started to make its name known there was little to no information coming out from manufacturers and carriers except the next device announcement. As things progressed from Donut to Froyo to Gingerbread and now to Ice Cream Sandwich, people want to know what the heck is going on. The OEM’s and the carriers are now under even more pressure to keep their customers happy than ever before. Which is a good thing if you ask me. Seems HTC is doing the best they can to keep the public up to date on future ICS updates to their current device line up. While there has been a few changes here and there, they look to be on track for some major updates soon.

They currently have a list of 17 devices with timeline listed for each. Granted all the time lines span everywhere from 60 days to 120 days, it is still nice to have something to go off of. HTC makes note to mention that all the devices in the list are expected to have their updates available and completed by the end of August 2012. Every device is slated for Android 4.0, but all will only get Sense 3.6 UI updates.

We expect HTC to adjust some of the updates a little based on progress, completion and potential carrier requirements, but we think they can pull it all off by August pretty easily. If your device isn’t part of the following list then you are not going to be seeing an update. That list includes all of their tablets as well. Take a quick gander at the timelines by device below and see how long you might just have to wait for your update.
