It’s from the US but that doesn’t mean that the news won’t be just as good here. Android Police have captured Facebook updates from HTC regarding the status of Ice Cream Sandwich updates for the list of announced devices. In Australia we are still waiting on some Ice Cream Sandwich updates which have been approved to be pushed out(EVO3D and Rhyme) and some updates are still yet to be approved (Incredible S and Desire S) but according to the HTC US Facebook page, HTC intend to get all their Ice Cream Sandwich updates out for the end of August which is good news for everyone. I’ve just put together the status of announced updates for HTC devices so far :
| Device | Schedule | Status |
| HTC Desire S | June-July | No Information available as yet |
| HTC Desire HD | July-August | Cancelled |
| HTC EVO 3D | June-July | Delivered |
| HTC Incredible S | June-July | Optus :Late August – Manufacturer delay |
| HTC Sensation | March-June | Delivered |
| HTC Sensation XE | March-June | Delivered |
| HTC Sensation XL | April-June | Delivered |
| HTC Rhyme | June-July | Approved pending rollout |
| HTC Velocity 4G | March-June | Delivered |
So it’s not terrible, I’m still chasing information on the Desire S but I can only assume that if HTC are working on it for other markets then they will surely be working on it for the Australian market as well. Now once they have finished this round of updates we may get some information on which of these phones if any will be likely to see a Jelly Bean update.
Looking forward to finally be able to run google chrome on my google phone!
