Motorola DROID Bionic owners don’t have much to be happy about these days but perhaps an Ice Cream Sandwich update will be enough of a refresh to get them through their contracts. Reports are coming in that Motorola has begun sending out emails to members of the Motorola Feedback Network, inviting them to take part in an upcoming soak test for the Bionic. While the invitation doesn’t specifically indicate that the software upgrade will be Android 4.0, there’s a high probability that it is.

Verizon has come out and confirmed an October 18 launch date for the Motrola DROID RAZR HD and RAZR MAX HD. I’m expecting a full onslaught of marketing to accompany these devices as Verizon seems partial to the RAZR line. The next iteration of the RAZR line will feature similar specs, with the only distinguishable advantage being the larger battery and storage available in the RAZR MAXX HD (which I find lame of Motorola).

Atrix 2 users woke up to a nice surprise today. AT&T has decided to finally treat Atrix 2 users to Ice Cream Sandwich. The update, which began today, will bump up Atrix 2 users from that tired ol’ Gingerbread and have their device feeling brand spanking new.

Out with the old, in with the new. That’s how the saying goes and that’s what we’re starting to see as carriers and retailers begin discounting their old hardware in preparation for the newer models. One such price cut can be seen on Amazon Wireless; where the 32GB DROID RAZR MAXX is now only $49.99 for new customers signing a 2-year contract.

Since I’m sure you all stay awake at night worrying about the latest developments in ITC complaints and patent disputes, you’re all probably dying to know that Motorola has withdrawn a complaint it made against Apple back in mid-August. We have absolutely no idea why the sudden change of heart, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. The web is abuzz with theories, but the truth is most likely much less controversial.
