Mr. Schmidt in a 2 second quote confirms ICS to be released in October/November of this year. We already knew sometime in Q4, but it's good to hear an official confirmation!
Droid Life News: Eric Schmidt: Ice Cream Sandwich Coming In October/November
Just looking out!
hopefully that equals nexus prime and/or xoom2 being released by thanksgiving
For some reason I've been pretty much banking on the fact that ICS is coming out in October. I can't remember where I heard it (or even if I heard it), but October/November cannot come soon enough.
I had my mind set on December for some reason, so keeping to that so not to dissapointed by the delays.

But will the Xoom get it?
That's the big question, especially setting as Google now own Motorola too.
I'm hopeful.

Not to be anal about it but Google does not own Motorola yet. Google as entered into a definitive agreement (i.e. contractually binding) to purchase Motorola Mobility but it still has to go through regulatory approval in US and EU before it can be completed. The acquisition will probably not be complete before Q1 2012.

I must admit that this would be a smart move on Google's part. I mean... I love the Droid's: I think they are the best by far. And with Verizon's network and their 4G LTE speeds, and with the release of the Droid Bionic, we have another epic phone joining Team Droid.
If Google were to buy out Motorola Mobility, would this make the Droid family the new Nexus? Meaning... the Droid brand would then belong to Google? If so, I am looking forward to that! The Droid's would become the official Google devices that get all the updates first.

Well Google has said that Motorola will be kept as a separate entity and they would still have to go through the same process as everyone else to be able to make the next Nexus phone.

Yeah after looking at an article about this I see that now. Still would be a neat thought if the Droid family was the official name brand for the official Google devices.
anyone see that news saying thyxe think the nexus prime will now be called samsung galaxy nexus?
rubbish name IMO makes the Nexus phone sound more like a spin-off of a Samsung Galaxy range and not a Google phone... pft.
anyway I think and hope that the Xoom gets an update - there doesnt seem to be any big 'a new ICS tablet' rumors really around the corner - not like there was with the HC Nexus tablet of the past... and didnt they show ICS on the Xoom at Google I/O?

So Google now own Motorola, who else thinks we'll ne seeing much more support regarding phone software and possibly more lapdock support ?
Also I believe Jelly Bean will be featuring a lapdock like feature so this may be enhanced for all us Lapdock users

Yes I understand that Google wanted the patents but being the highly respectable and profitable company Google is, I don't think they would allow Motorola to keep losing money like they were for the past few quarters so I'd expect Google to make Motorola grow further.
I think that google will do nothing, and in the next 3 months it will sell motorola to another company, like Hawuei or w/e

If anything Google need Motorola to compete with Apple, all this time they were competing without actually having there own manufacturing and design process(apart from the few nexus phones)This could actually allow Google to excel further than Apple as they would be in charge much more than just the OS.
No lapdock for sure. Tablets are too popular. And not to mention netbook/laptops. Even now with the ultrabooks. Yeah, not gonna happen.

i think you're right also the next nexus phone should be motorola
The future of the lapdock is really a huge question mark.
The good news is that Motorola's CEO is now out and a new Google surrogate is in. Motorola will move in whatever direction Google wants it to. That probably means going Nexus, if not in name, at least in software development. I.e., less Blur and faster releases.

I did say JellyBean not ICS, we've all seen the ICS beta for the Razr which i'm guessing was down to Motorola not Google, I think Google will see that there is a market for this kind of thing so they will probably take advantage of this by expanding the software found on the lapdock
I don't see how anyone who owns a Motorola could be dissapointed, I can only see good things ahead. That may just be because I'm a very optimistic person

Have to agree. Not sure about the reasoning though. Motto and at$t shoot themselves in the foot on this one. Overpriced the product and tried to get more money for the same data plan. our beloved carriers in the states will not allow two or three devices on the same data plan without charging you more for the same amount of data. Devices like the lapdock or the(greatest device yet) "padfone" will maybe never be accepted here in the states like over seas.

That's true. But so far each new version has followed that pattern. I don't think they'll add a .1 or whatever to ics. Most companies do change it to the next number for new versions. Ie Microsoft, all the android flavors to date, even Apple.
I don't understand the reason why there's not a Motorola Xoom 2 ME thread. In the Motorola Xoom 2 (10.1) rom the same of the ME? Thank you guys!

The ROM isn't exactly the same, but close enough that any exploit for the Xoom 2 would also apply.... like the root method.

The is no custom ROM's or leaks for the "XOOM 2" at the moment due to the locked bootloader, you can only root at the mo. However Motorola recently has been hinting on Twitter that an unlockable bootloader tool is coming, so if they are telling the truth this time then development will come after they release the tool. If you want a dev friendly Xoom tablet I would go for the original but if you fancy waiting a while then I would go for the Xoom 2.

I will say its worth the money. The XOOM 2 has a sexy display, design and weighs lighter than the original Xoom. Plus Motorola should be rolling the ICS update next month hopefully. I will say buy it if you want a device which does the job. But you can always read the reviews from tech sites.

Huh? Google has nothing to do with the Xoom 2 whatsoever. The original Xoom was Google's baby and is the Google Experience Device that showcased Honeycomb. It was a Nexus in all but the name.
The Xoom 2 is all Motorola from the customized ROM to the bootloader that's locked down tighter than a gnat's ass. Google does not support the Xoom 2 in any way, shape or form.

True, but they didn't when the Xoom 2 was first released, and Google has made it abundantly clear that, for the forseeable future at least, Motorola is going to continue to run as its own independent company.
It really has to be that way if you think about it, because the last thing Google wants is to piss off their major OEM partners like HTC and Samsung by putting all their marketing resources into Motorola and having Motorola release nothing but phones running in stock Android configurations. That would put an enormous dent in HTC and Samsung's sales and that's a calculated risk that Google can't take because without HTC, Samsung, and Motorola, Android is a mere drop in the bucket as far as the smartphone world goes; and don't think for one minute that HTC and Samsung wouldn't find alternative operating systems or platforms to use if their Android phones weren't moving units.
Nevermind the fact that Verizon is Motorola's bread and butter right now, and Verizon would happily give the DROID trademark license to another OEM if Googarola went to Verizon and said "From this point forward we're releasing nothing but stock Android devices with no bloatware." How do you think that'd go over with Verizon? Yeah, exactly. haha

I know, but maybe companies have access to the source code.
I could only hope Motorola can make a dev preview for us too. I know it is a long shot, but I can only dream.
Regardless, all APKs will be taken out of the Nexus 5 preview and will probably work for every phone (new Gmail for exemple).

I think it's quite likely that the X will get Android L when it's done, as even the Moto E is promised to get it. There will always be CyanogenMod and thelike, but I won't give up touchless controls and active notifications :/
As for the beta - Don't think so, but one can hope. Maybe kind of like motorola's soak-tests.

I think it will get 7.0 by the end of the year. It got 6.0 pretty fast, and is still pretty much the flagship of Motorola. People just lost hope because of the ignored 6.0.1 update. I'm hoping to switch back to a Nexus anyway so I don't have to worry about updates anymore.

Well, if they abandon any real support for this phone in one year, I won't be coming back to Lenovo/Motorola. I'll just have to decide if expandable memory is still a deal maker/breaker with the next gen and go Nexus or something else.

Agreed!
Android 7 will be there!!!
With X-Style there aren't any technical/hardware issue or even a minor reason for not supporting the Android 7. So with this the liability of providing or not providing Android 7 will be with Motorola (Lenovo). Providing with Latest Android version being a USP of Moto phones, there is very chance that they will not risk reputation with this phone by excluding the update.
In-case this is not done for some reason then my steps would be:
1) Root and install Android 7 rom.
2) Buy a new Nexus phone.
3) Collect Invoice of all my Moto phone (Namely: Moto G (8gb), Moto G (16gb), Moto E (4gb), Moto G3, Moto G Turbo, Moto X Style).
4) Submit the collected Invoice plus the nexus invoice to Motorola with update as why they lost a loyal customer.
*Infact I was planing this for the delayed patch, and made my disappointment by tweeting the same to motorola. Were they assured me of early notification of update.*
[rant] motorola sucks/how to kill a perfectly good device
Motorola/Lenovo service has been horrible both in replacing defective hardware and with software updates even though they committed to timely release! They will probably at some point release Nougat on this device but really how long will it take (see where we are with MM updates!!) ? And as far as custom roms are concerned we're seeing so little developper activity for this device that I think everyone has already moved on! This was my first non-Nexus device in a long while and I'm not eager to duplicate the experience. It's really too bad as I really liked the Moto X pure. :crying:
Ffs these threads need to stop. Yes the Moto x pure 2015 will get 7. IT WILL TAKE TIME release of n is rolling out give it a few months
