Toshiba Thrive Gets Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich Ahead of Schedule

The original Toshiba Thrive 10-inch tablet was expected to get an update to Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich sometime this fall, but a tasty surprise showed up today for Thrive owners. A post on Toshiba’s Thrive forums confirms that ICS is indeed now rolling out, significantly ahead of schedule. Even though Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is the flavor of the month, it’s nice to see Toshiba pushing forward quicker than expected.

Not much of a changelog was posted:

Release 4.0.4 Highlights:

  • Improved video and audio performance
  • Improved camera functions
  • Improved signal strength and connectivity

If you own a Thrive, check for the over-the-air update on your tablet by tapping Apps, Service Station, then Check for Updates and let us know how it goes!

    Got mine a couple of hours ago. Operating normally so far.

    You should fix your headline… It isn’t technically “ahead of schedule” when it was promised months ago… That being said, it has improved the performance of my thrive drastically!!

      It is ahead of scheduled when they said it wouldn’t be out until Fall. That supercedes any previous timeline including your own. Headline is fine, unless you’re impatient. LOL
