Android 4.0 has made its mark on yet another device, this one being the Sony Xperia Ion for AT&T. This Ice Cream Sandwich update is ready for download, only problem is, you’ll need to download it from Sony. We really hate when they don’t offer an OTA but I guess it’s better than not getting it at all.

Motorola hasn’t exactly been on schedule with its updates and has missed target dates on numerous occasions. While this has been one area that the new Motorola (with Google at helm) has promised to improve, DROID Bionic users are once again getting the shaft as their chances of receiving Ice Cream Sandwich have been pushed back to Q4.

I have some good news for Galaxy S III owners. Samsung has started pushing out Jelly Bean ahead of schedule. The first batch of updates has already begun over in Poland and is expected to hit other markets soon. With Android 4.1, the Samsung Galaxy III will not only be up-to-date, but will enjoy all the killer benefits and features such as Google Now and Project Butter.

I almost feel guilty complaining about being the last Galaxy Nexus to see Jelly Bean… almost. It’s great that we’re finally getting it, but a little ridiculous considering Verizon was the first U.S. carrier to launch it. If you’ve been patient and remained on stock all this time, you’ll soon be rewarded with Jelly Bean as the SW Version JRO03O support page is now live on Verizon.

PlayLater has finally opened viewing support to Android devices and that should make a lot of you out there very happy. PlayLater is software for your PC that allows you to record movies and TV shows to your hard drive from popular websites such as Hulu, Hulu Plus, Netflix, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Comedy Central and more (provided you have subscriptions to those services). You can then take those recorded videos and transfer them over to your Android device to watch at anytime, without the need for an internet connection.
