HTC Will Not Update Tablet Line To Android 4.0

Those of you who picked up an HTC EVO View 4G (Sprint) or HTC Jetstream (AT&T)  tablet over the last few months.  These two, along with the HTC Flyer, will not be seeing an official Android 4.0 update from the manufacturer.  Considering we've not run into more than a couple folks who actually own one of these three we suspect that this doesn't affect too many of you.  Nevertheless, you'll have to go with some rooting and modding if you want to load Ice Cream Sandwich on your device.

Although HTC won't bring Android 4.0 to the trio, it's not to say they won't keep supporting them with updates.  Should you have one of these tablets, you'll find your Honeycomb experience may get better with time.

Upgrades are not the same thing as ongoing support. Devices not being upgraded to Android 4.0 will still get software improvements, security fixes, and technical support as needed.

US HTC Flyer officially discontinued, will the HTC EVO View 4G?

It's official: The US WiFi-only version of the HTC Flyer is no longer being sold by Best Buy, which was the only official retailer of the 7-inch tablet stateside. Since the HTC EVO View 4G is basically just a WiMAX variant of the Flyer - identical to the Flyer in almost every other way - the question remains: what are Sprint's ultimate plans for the EVO View? Leave your comments.

HTC Flyer suprise update brings Honeycomb

The update that most people are seeing is specifically for the 32GB WiFi and 3G version of the tablet. There has been no indication that the WiFi only version is getting the update yet. The update brings the machine to software version 3.55.405.1 and it’s large. The download is 210MB so a WiFi connection would be a smart place to download.

We have also heard that folks in Holland are also getting the update as well. If you find the update is available be sure and let us know how it works and where you are located.
