Sony’s announced that it’ll release the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for all of its 2011 Xperia phones sometime in 2012. The Cyanogenmod crew are working hard on ICS, with what looks like a planned release for everybody by January.
The HP Touchpad just jumped up a few notches on the tablet scale now that the first public release of CyanogenMod is available for download.
Snagged a HP Touchpad (or seven) during its $98 fire sale in August? Either you’ve come to terms with what webOS offers and its decidedly terminal fate, or, you’ve been hanging out for CyanogenMod to get Android onto the hardware. It looks like CM are getting closer to making this reality, judging by their latest video.
Looks like we’ll have to rely on the efforts of the Cyanogenmod crew for stable Android on TouchPad, with the TouchDroid team having closed its doors. Before it was shuttered, though, the team did release video and walkthrough information for getting rather unstable Android running on TouchPad. You know. For if you’re really keen.
We’ve already shown you how to get Ubuntu up and running on the TouchPad as well as speculation on whether Android on TouchPad is actually real. It’s getting a lot more real thanks to the Cyanogenmod team, who have managed to get an alpha Gingerbread project running on the Touchpad.
Steve Kondik, otherwise known as Cyanogen of the popular CyanogenMod ROM, has joined Samsung as a Software engineer. According to his Facebook account, Kondik will continue to work on CyanogenMod as a side project. [Facebook via Gadget University and Phandroid]
