The ASUS Transformer Pad 300 received a much welcomed update over the weekend, bringing it to build 9.4.3.29. Included in this latest update is the snazzy Face Unlock, battery usage details, and considerable performance enhancements. Users will appreciate the performance improvements, which finally address some of the annoying lag issues.

T-Mobile has announced the availability of a certain tasty treat for HTC Amaze 4G owners. That’s right, Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich, is now available for the HTC Amaze 4G. To check for the update, simply go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > HTC Software Updates > Check. Follow the instructions and you’ll be on your way to enjoying the latest and greatest version of Android.

Unless you have an ASUS device, you’re probably waiting to be updated to Android 4.0. While Motorola did manage to bring Ice Cream Sandwich to the XOOM, they’ve left the rest of their devices in update limbo. In an effort to calm user frustration, Motorola has updated their Ice Cream Sandwich schedule — as if that helps. It appears the RAZR brand will see Android 4.0 sometime in Q2, while the DROID 4 won’t be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich until Q3.

Google’s latest Stable release of Chrome now includes the ability to sync tabs across multiple devices. As long as you are signed into Chrome, you’ll now have the ability to take your tabs with you when switching between work, home, mobile (with Chrome for Android beta), etc. Accessing them is quick and easy thanks to the new “Other devices” menu located on the New Tab page, and even the back and forward buttons will work, allowing you to pick up browsing right where you left off.

Last month, Samsung added a new FAQ section to outline which devices would be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich, and while all the major carriers were listed, T-Mobile was the only one lacking any information. That section has finally been updated and we now have an idea of which T-Mobile Samsung devices will be getting the Android 4.0 update.
