The guys over at Android Police have confirmed that Motorola’s recent “project” for the Motorola XOOM is, in fact, Ice Cream Sandwich. It seems one of the lucky testers didn’t understand the word “confidential” and spilled the beans on the project.

Sprint has announced a minor maintenance update for the HTC EVO 3D. Software update 2.17.651.5 should be available starting today for anyone who wishes to manually pull it up, otherwise an OTA should begin rolling out on Jan 17. To manually check for the update, simply hit Menu > Settings > System updates > HTC software update > Check now. This update is very minor and includes:

Google introduced a nice little update to their search app for Android users running 2.2 and 2.3. The update brings a more simplified UI and new color scheme among other things. The search app on Android is probably the single most used feature and I’ll admit, one we probably take for granted, so it’s nice to see it getting some update love. If you haven’t grabbed the update yet, you can head on over to the Android Market and start enjoying:

Although Gingerbread has been available for over a year now, the Samsung Captivate hasn’t seen the update until today (who says Samsung doesn’t update their devices). That’s right, while most people are wondering when Ice Cream Sandwich is going to be ready for their device, there are still some people out there just hoping for Gingerbread. Not an optimal update schedule for most, but I guess it’s better late than never, right?

This will probably be the best news to come out of CES for ASUS Transformer Prime owners. During the NVIDIA CES event, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) would be made available tonight, and is in fact rolling out now. I’m sure you’ll all be up checking your device for the rest of the night so I won’t bother you and your precious anymore than I have to. Cheers!
