The lead device for ICS is generally thought to be called the Nexus Prime, and will once more be made by Samsung, which seems a bit harsh on those OEMs yet to get any Google special treatment, such as LG and Sony Ericsson.rofl ... at the thought that SE would get a device that, by definition, has to be kept software current.

I've got two hopes for ICS:
- That's it's a LOT better than Honeycomb - especially the bundled browser, which appears to be widely regarded as a nasty POS. According to the postings on Android Forums there doesn't seem to be anyone who thinks it's fit for purpose;
- That it appears on tablets (because they're Honeycomb'd) as soon as possible. In my case, an Asus one.

A shame really, as I am still using my Nexus One and much prefer it to my Xperia Play.
I want the Nexus Prime for the NFC capability. Are there any UK banks which support Android?
For me, the most interesting thing I discovered after following the links in this story was that ZTE are planning on making a 7", 1024x600 tablet with a Pixel Qi display. Given the price points ZTE normally aim to hit, it could be this year's budget tablet to look out for (that or the etouch 702et)
To be fair to SE once my X10 finally got 2.3.3 its been great - almost a new phone (and a newer version of Android than a friend's HTC desire). I think SE have begun to realise that updates will help them win the game and I think the attitude with the company has changed. I guess the real answer though will be what updates the ARC/Play get...
