Ice Cream Sandwich Ports Come to a Plethora of Devices
Whenever a new version of Android is announced the community gets very excited for ports to start popping up for their devices. One of the great things about the Android community is that you can always run the latest and greatest software without buying the latest and greatest device. Since ICS went open source a few weeks ago devs have been hard at work bringing Android 4.0 to a number of devices. They’ve got ROMs working for everything from the Nexus S to the G1. Check the list below to see if your device made the list!
