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.

Those Ice Cream Sandwich numbers are steadily rising and next up to receive some Android 4.0 love is the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It’s hard to believe that this tablet has been stuck on Honeycomb all this time, but that’s Verizon for you. It looks like Verizon is set to give this guy a refresh as the support docs for the update have gone live.

As you can see by the numbers above, it’s still a sad state of affairs when it comes to Android devices being updated to the latest platform version. The majority of Android devices out there are still stuck on Gingerbread — a version of Android released almost 2 years ago. We, of course, can’t blame Google for this, but the lack of updates by OEMs and carriers is downright disgusting.

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.
