Motorola revealed some more details about the future updates to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for the many of its popular smartphones and tablets.
We suspected that Motorola would be very Android-update friendly after Google bought it and there many-a-update planned for rolling out in the future. When we say future we don't mean near future, we mean next quarter and even mid summer.

Wireless and Mobile News analysed all the top best hottest coolest smartphones of the year lists and the results are in. We published the results for T-Mobile and Sprint. Today we look at the results for AT&T.
