Archos may be a month late on their promise to update their G9 tablets to Android 4.0 but it’s here now and they’re still ahead of many top manufacturers. Archos has begun rolling out Ice Cream Sandwich to their G9 lineup and if you’re the proud owner of a G9 7 or 10-inch tablet, you can expect to receive Android 4.0 in an OTA update soon.


Verizon’s 12-day “DROID Does” sale is winding down and there’s only 4 days left to take advantage of the numerous DROID phones on sale for $9.99. While I’m sure Verizon is doing this to clear out some stock, it’s still a good deal for anyone looking to pick up a solid device on the cheap. Verizon is offering up the 4G LTE Samsung DROID Charge, the DROID 3, DROID Incredible 2, and DROID X2 all for $9.99 on a new 2-year contract. Not bad considering these devices retail for $400+.


If you were looking forward to the major update that was supposed to hit the MOTOACTV today, you’re going to have to wait a couple extra days. The update which will bring 40 new activities along with a few other features is now on for Friday March 9th and hopefully this time it will actually happen. We’re assuming Motorola delayed the update due to a certain Apple event that pretty much occupied everyone’s day today. Thankfully Moto didn’t leave us completely empty handed; a video is now up on Youtube showcasing the new features for all you fitness freaks to sweat over. Give the video a look and occupy yourself with some sit-ups until the update hits this Friday.


It all began with a Dream, and that dream led to over 850,000 Android devices now being activated each day. HTC takes us back by announcing unlock bootloader support for the HTC Dream. You heard that right, you can now root Android’s roots. If you happen to have an unrooted Dream laying around and feel like kicking it old school, head over to HTCdev.com and go back to the future — just try not to create a time paradox while your tinkering around.


Verizon today announced a list of devices they expect to receive the Android 4.0 update. Many manufacturers have already confirmed this information but it’s always nice to hear it straight from a carriers mouth. While no official dates have been given, the list includes devices from HTC, Motorola, Samsung and LG. You can find the full list after the break so stay tuned to see if your Verizon device was given the thumbs up from Big Red.
