Ice Cream Sandwich

Just been reading an article about ICS as was keen to see what it is like in anticipation of an upgrade for the 10.1 Tab.

Surprised to hear it currently has no Flash support?!
It did say it should be coming soon, but, considering Adobe are allegedly abandoning 'mobile' support it could be an issue?

Appreciate on a phone maybe less of a deal, but given ICS is also their new tablet OS where people are more likely to use heavier sites with Flash it could be a problem.

I am not thinking of 'dodgy' sites, but things like BBC etc that still use Flash videos.

Can this be installed on a HTC Desire?

I'm still on 2.2, is that right? My phone says it's fully up to date!?

The latest version of Android officially available for the Desire is Gingerbread (Android 2.3) but according to Wikipedia you can't update through the phone, you have to do it by downloading and flashing the OS image.

HTC almost certainly won't officially update the Desire to Android 4.0, but I have heard an unofficial port is in the works.
 
Android 4.0 to run on x86

sn't it nice when different generations get together without bickering? Google's x86 version of Ice Cream Sandwich is finally ready for developers and it promises to do exactly that, by playing happily with Intel and AMD's 33-year-old architecture rather than just those young upstarts from ARM. The union isn't entirely harmonious just yet: Ethernet and camera support won't function, while Wi-Fi, sound and hardware acceleration are currently AMD-only. Devs who remain unfazed by such trifles, however, can download the source code via the links below.

Cloud support is half-assed and doesn't bring anything we don't already have, chrome bookmarks? Wow great. I want cloud based storage so my application data is synced whether I pick up my tablet or my phone!
 
Soz to hijack thread but which one would you buy HTC One X or HTC One S??

Seeing O2 doing them on a £36 p/m deal, will go and check them asap but just wanted to hear from the pros first :)
