Honeycomb is on the verge of extinction as yet another Android tablet prepares to be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 on Verizon has finally been approved for the update and users of the device should start to see it within the next week or so.

A bit of good news for Sony Xperia go, sola, and U users. Today, Sony began rolling out Android 4.0 to all three devices and plans to continue to do so globally, over the next few weeks. The update brings all of the great features of Ice Cream Sandwich along with a few new media applications and a “Glove Mode” for sola users.

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.

This next tip is specific to Android 4.0+ and the stock Android browser (not Chrome for Android). There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages to using the stock Android browser versus Chrome for Android. One advantage, many would argue, is the ability to use Quick controls. Quick controls for the Android browser were introduced in Android 4.0 and are exactly what the name implies — quick… controls.

The Ice Cream Sandwich pie slice is steadily growing as we continue to see updates being pushed out. Up next for its Ice Cream Sandwich treatment is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi. Anyone rocking the 8.9-incher can head over to Settings > About Phone and check for an OTA. Otherwise, fire up your Kies software and it should be waiting for you.
