Subito dopo la presentazione del Galaxy Nexus e di Ice Cream Sandwich cominciarono le scommesse per capire quali sarebbero stati i primi dispositivi ad essere aggiornati al nuovo Android OS 4.0. In questo articolo descrivemmo la posizione di HTC che oggi, in un comunicato ufficiale, indica quali saranno i primi telefoni a passare ad ICS nei primi mesi del 2012. Come al solito c’è qualche dubbio rispetto alle scelte: Vivid (appena messo in vendita in America), Rezound, Sensation, Sensation XE, Sensation Xl, Evo 3D, Evo Design 4G ed Amaze 4G. Molti di questi non sono presenti nel nostro paese e, a detta dei vertici taiwanesi, la lista non è definitiva. Speriamo sia vero perchè pensare a Incredible S, Desire HD e Desire S senza aggiornamento sarebbe quanto meno strano. Ricordate la questione della Sense 3.5, vero? Dopo il break il comunicato originale (in inglese).
Those are first HTC devices upgradeable to ICS
Immediately after the presentation of the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich bets began to understand what would be the first devices to be upgraded to the newAndroid OS 4.0. In this article we describe the position of HTC that today, in a statement, indicates what will be the first phones to switch to ICS in early 2012. As usual there is some doubt as to the choices: Vivid (just released in America), Rezound, Sensation, Sensation XE, Sensation XL, Evo 3D, Evo 4G and Amaze Design 4G. Many of these are not present in our country and, according to the Taiwanese leadership, the list is not definitive. We hope this is true because thinking about Incredible S, Desire S and Desire HD without upgrading would be rather strange. Do you remember the Sense 3.5 issue, right? Below the original statement (in English).
“HTC knows how excited our fans are to get their hands on Google’s latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, so we’re thrilled today to announce the first wave of HTC phones that will receive upgrades.
We can confirm the brand new HTC Vivid, on sale beginning today, is upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition, Ice Cream Sandwich is coming in early 2012 to a variety of devices including the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL and HTC Sensation XE, as well as the HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Amaze 4G through close integration with our carrier partners.
We’re continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich.”
