In case you were ever in doubt, HTC is upgrading its Android devices to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ... one day.
Last week, HTC said on its Facebook page that "HTC has been looking closely at the new OS's features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans."
The company stressed, however, that "upgrades require a careful balance of hardware and software to ensure the best possible performance and usability, so please stay tuned as we assess our product portfolio. Our goal is to upgrade as many HTC devices as possible and we'll be sharing details on specific devices and timing in the coming weeks!"
Last week, Motorola confirmed it would bring ICS updates to smartphones six weeks after Google's public push, including with the Motorola Droid RAZR in early 2012. Sony Ericsson also confirmed it will upgrade 2011 Xperia smartphones, like the Xperia Play 4G, to ICS, without commenting on timing.
Samsung, the most popular Android manufacturer in the world, declined to comment, but it will be the first manufacturer to ship an ICS device, the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung, coming to Verizon later this year.
Last week, PCMag mobile analyst Sascha Segan said Android 4.0 could make fragmentation—Android's biggest problem—an even bigger issue. For more, see Why Ice Cream Sandwich Might Make Things Worse.
Google also assured developers it would eventually release the source code for ICS, which it didn't do with its tablet-centric predecessor, Android 3.0, aka Honeycomb.
