Samsung Galaxy SII Ice Cream Sandwich update - when will I get it?



Now Samsung has confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich android update is landing next week, here's our constantly updated hub of all information for the next level of Android on your flagship Samsung phone.
The issue with Android updates is the method is so staggered, leading to consumers getting angry at the length of time it takes them to get the next generation of program.
One time Google throws out the source code to the manufacturers, it is up to them to divert resources to combining the latest version of Android with their hardware- this can take longer if there is a skin walking atop the OS, as is the case with the Galaxy S2.
& one time that is complete, the likes of Vodafone & O2 then must make sure there's no issues with the new firmware walking with their networks- it may sound trivial, but you don't need something like this happening - so check below to see how long you'll be likely to wait for the next generation program to land on your Galaxy S2.
Update: It looks like you need to plug your Galaxy S2 in to your computer & access the new Ice Cream Sandwich update by Kies. The update won't show up in the Settings > About phone > Program update > Update option on the handset.

Motorola driod 4 (Latest)


Design
It is clear to me that the Droid 4 takes its design cues from other devices in Motorola's current 2012 lineup. The phone sports the black obelisk motif, complete with slightly rounded corners and beveled edges, as do the Droid Razr Maxx and Droid Razr. It is a classy look sure to fit in equally at the office or out on the town. There is no getting around, however, the large size of the Motorola Droid 4. I mean its girth stares at you right in the face practically begging for trouble. This bruiser measures 5 inches tall by 2.65 inches wide with a full thickness of half an inch. Weighing 6.31 ounces, the Droid 4 is also hefty. Compared with the wafer-thin trend modern smartphones are taking, this handset stands out.

User interface
The Droid 4 runs Gingerbread 2.3.5. Motorola does its best to perk things up with its own UI on top of Android. It is not a bad attempt with five home screens, a helicopter view of all at once, and some support for social media.
Features and performance
Despite the Droid 4's sweet keyboard, the smartphone has other standout features, such as access to the Android Market, which now contains over 300,000 apps. I did notice that besides the usual array of Motorola, Google, and Verizon software, a few tittles looked intriguing. First is the Slingbox application, which lets you stream live content from home cable boxes directly to the phone and even lets you change the channel. You do have to have optional Slingbox hardware installed in your home for this to happen. Netflix is onboard too, saving me the trouble to download it myself. Motoactv software is here as well, an application that enables Motorola phones to connect to the company's line of fitness gadgets.
