An unhappy Motorola DROID X2 customer decided to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau over their locked bootloader policy and lackluster update practice. Motorola eventually responded to the complaint, passing the bootlocker blame onto the carriers and then informing the customer that the DROID X2 was not on their list of devices to receive Ice Cream Sandwich. This information is very disheartening to DROID X2 owners whose device is less than a year old. I find this to be unacceptable and completely goes against the pledge Motorola (and other manufacturers) made as part of the Google Update Alliance back in May of 2011. The alliance was formed to ensure timely updates would be provided to consumers for at least 18 months after the launch of a new device and this BBB response isn’t a good sign of Motorola’s commitment to that pledge.

Samsung Galaxy S II users in Europe, Korea, and other select markets around the globe are being treated to Ice Cream Sandwich thanks to an update that began rolling out last night. Unfortunately U.S. users will have to sit tight as it hasn’t landed in the states just yet. It’s great to see devices being updated and we welcome all new users to the exclusive Ice Cream Sandwich club. Samsung also announced they would be updating a slew of devices to a newer Gingerbread firmware:

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.

Sprint is touting their “truly Unlimited” data and giving away 30 Samsung Galaxy Nexus devices in their new Data Storm Sweepstakes. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is set to be one of Sprint’s first LTE devices and with a pure Google experience and truly unlimited data, it just may be the best stateside Galaxy Nexus available.

Google and the Android team have been working hard to provide all the necessary tools for developers to create beautiful looking Android apps to fit the new Android 4.0 theme. That’s the reason they created Android Design, a central location for developers to go for UI tools and tips. After its launch, the Android team began to receive numerous requests for Ice Cream Sandwich stencils. Being the amazing Android team that they are, they have made these stencils available and they can be downloaded now by heading over to the Android Design site.
