Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade Now for ASUS Eee Pad Slider in US

By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Friday, May 11, 2012

ASUS recently took to its Twitter account to announce that it would be rolling out the Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade to the ASUS Eee Pad Slider in the U.S. soon.

The company confirmed that the OTA update to Android 4.0 should be available for the device in the very near future, so all who own the Slider should be checking their update button on a regular basis.

ASUS's complete line of tablets are already running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. All four of them, that is.

The Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade should be coming to the Samsung Galaxy Note in the U.S. quite soon.

At a recent media event, AT&T displayed the device running the new software.

"AT&T is currently holding a little shindig at CTIA in New Orleans," said 9to5 Google. "During the event, the company put a Galaxy Note on display running Ice Cream Sandwich."

Android Central was in attendance and filmed a short video of the Galaxy Note running the new software.

"The only real difference seems to be in the menus," added 9to5 Google. "At any rate, if you have held off for ICS on your Galaxy Note, it looks like the update is in the pipeline."

Rumors of the Android software coming to the tablet-smartphone hybrid have been surfacing on the internet since December of last year, and now it seems like it is finally time for the major U.S. carriers to begin rolling it out.

Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades have begun to roll out for many of Samsung's devices overseas, including the Galaxy S2. However, the U.S. seems to be last on the company's priority list.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 will launch at the end of this month in Europe and will come with Android 4.0 pre-installed.
