HTC
is preparing an Android 4.0 upgrade for 16 of its existing smartphones, but the
company still has few details on when users will get the upgrade. The company is in the early stages of
rolling out Android 4.0 for the Sensation and Sensation XE, and upgrades will
be more widely available in the next few weeks. The update for the Sensation 4G
and Sensation XL will then follow. HTC is working with carriers to schedule
updates for the other smartphones. Besides the Sensation family, the other
phones that will eventually get the upgrade are the Droid Incredible 2, Amaze
4G, Desire S, Desire HD, EVO 3D, EVO Design 4G, Incredible S, Raider, Rezound,
Rhyme, Thunderbolt and Vivid. Google launched Android 4.0, also known as Ice
Cream Sandwich, with the intention of lessening fragmentation in the Android
market, and five months after launch it is starting to take off with upgrades
of existing phones as well as new products running it. On Tuesday, Samsung
Electronics said that it has started upgrading
its Galaxy S II phone. The company also manufactures the first phone to run
Android 4.0, the Galaxy Nexus. Besides planning to upgrade existing products,
HTC has also announced a number
of new products that will use the latest version of Google's operating system,
including the One X, which has a quad-core processor and a 4.7-inch HD screen.
