If you’re an Android user, and a Motorola device owner, you might just enjoy this one!
Motorola give an overview of the development cycle of such upgrades and deliver timings by region and by device on their Android Software Upgrade page.
Some of the main 1GB devices they detail their plans for are shown below.
Head over to their site for more information on whether your device can expect an upgrade?

Not even remotely. “Rule All Machines”, MOTO said about my Bionic. Utter hogwash. MOTO (and VZW) prove again and again that their focus is solely on new product development and sales, and not supporting supposed “flagship” devices. They lied about when ICS would be available to us, and then after recalibration, lied again about providing an update schedule within 6 weeks of ICS release. I fully expect I’m being lied to again, and am just waiting for the inevitable renege where they declare they will not, in fact, update Bionic and Razr. Or worse, they will finally update near the end-of-life to give the illusion of a customer support-oriented organization so the easily duped will want another of their products.
These are ridiculous schedules. The US version of the XOOM has ICS already, and the UK version won’t get it until Q2 – yes the US version is a GED but its not that different. Also, the ATRIX UK version doesn’t even have a date listed whereas the US version is due Q3 – again the same hardware. This means that the ATRIX UK is unlikely to get ICS before Jelly Bean is released. A clear US bias from Moto, and yet another reason why my next phone won’t be a moto.

Completely mad to update the xoom before its sucessor. xoom 2 should have been bundled with ics in the first place. It had 3 months to sell before the new ipad. missed opporunity. completely avoidable failure.
