Toshiba's 10.1-inch Thrive to see Ice Cream Sandwich by the end of spring [UPDATED]

Toshiba Thrive

Time to add another device to the list of Android products that'll soon be bumped up to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Responding to a question on Twitter, Toshiba has revealed that it's aiming to update its 10.1-inch Thrive tablet to the latest version of Android by the end of spring. An exact date wasn't mentioned.

The 10.1-inch Thrive originally made its way to market with Android 3.1 back in July 2011, and although we obviously don't yet have a firm Ice Cream Sandwich rollout date to look forward to, it's good to hear that Toshiba intends to push Google's freshest dessert to the slate. Here's to hoping that the company makes its targeted release window for the upgrade. As usual, you can bet that we'll pass along any new details (like an actual launch date) as we get them. Any of you out there own a Thrive?

UPDATE: Toshiba Public Relations Manager Eric Paulsen has told Computerworld that the 7-inch Thrive is also being targeted for an ICS update by the end of spring. Good news!

  • Scot Milolol about 99% of android users are waiting for "ICS" and will most likely never get an update lolFeb 25th
  • Eduardo Ordaz@Paul. Most customers don't care about updates and most don't even know what version of OS it runs. They care about having a great phone and a good OS that has what IOS lacks and that's CUSTOMIZATION!!! no one wants a phone that has an OS that hasn't changed since OS its just icons and more icons and no one wants a phone that breaks very easy.Feb 23rd
