HTC Flyer Possibly Receiving Ice Cream Sandwich in Q1 2012

The Flyer is HTC’s first try on Android tablets. The slate was launched last year in May with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board.

However, HTC promised customers that it would upgrade the Flyer to Honeycomb as soon as Google made it available on the market.

Even though the Taiwanese handset maker did not manage to deliver the Honeycomb on time, over the past two months HTC Flyer owners have been receiving the update.

According to an HTC rep, it appears that the company plans to upgrade the Flyer to Ice Cream Sandwich operating system this year. In fact, the rep said to a customer that the Android 4.0 update would be delivered within the next few months, the folks at AndroidAndMe claim.

Still, given the fact that customer services reps spread false information in the past because of lack of knowledge, there’s no reason to be thrilled yet. Stay tuned for more information on the matter.
