HTC Announces Initial Ice Cream Sandwich Rollout Plans

A while back, HTC announced the first suite of devices that it would be rolling out Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich updates to. The devce lineup included the entire HTC Sensation line (XE, XL, and 4G), followed by the Rezound, Amaze 4G, and new EVOs (Design 4G and 3D). Today, HTC has announced (also on its Facebook page) some further timing on just when devices will get those updates, and a few more devices making the cut.

First to the fray will be the HTC Sensation series (XE, XL, 4G, and sans moniker), which will get their ICS update before the end of March. Other devices getting an ICS update will see their update by a slightly more ambiguous and underwhelming "later this year." It's nice to see HTC committing to a date here, even though it's only for the Sensation line of devices. Hopefully as updates for the rest of the lineup draw closer those respective phones will see update timelines as well.

HTC also added a few more devices to its official list, which brings the tally to the following:

Patent deal exposes LG Chromebook plans

LG and Microsoft have inked a patent agreement that covers all of LG's Android tablets and mobile phones, and – oddly – any devices running Chrome OS.

Since LG doesn't have any devices running Chrome OS we're assuming that means there's a Chromebook on its way from the company in the near future.

The new agreement, which builds on a pre-existing deal, sees LG join the throngs of Android manufacturers paying Microsoft for use of its patents, including HTC, Samsung and Acer.

So long and thanks for all the cash

In fact, as Microsoft's corporate VP Horacio Gutierrez gleefully points out, "more than 70 per cent of all Android smartphones sold in the US are now receiving coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio".

The terms of the deal are under wraps, but it's likely that LG is paying Microsoft a broad licence fee, as well as royalties on each Android (and soon, Chrome OS) device sold.

Microsoft may be finding its approach a little more successful than Apple, whose rigorous protection of its intellectual property has seen it battling competitors in court rooms around the world - and that's a colour that doesn't look good on anybody.

As for the mystery LG Chromebook, we'll have to wait and see what the company has up its sleeve.

EVGA Plans to Enter the PSU Market with the NEX PSU

While we won't see final hardware for a couple of months, EVGA is teasing its entry into the power supply market with a 1500W sample of its upcoming NEX PSU. The NEX lineup will also include 650W, 750W and 1000W models.

EVGA is being purposefully quiet about the NEX's featureset other than to say that it'll feature an innovative new cable design, "configurable" +12V rails and an easy to use dummy mode for dual-PSU systems.

A number of PC component companies have entered the PSU business as it generally comes with decent margins and it's a good way of building up additional revenue. The question is, how will EVGA differentiate in a crowded market? You could argue that it has a lot of experience with that sort of problem given that its primary business involves selling video cards. There are simply a lot of unknowns at this point.
