AT&T said Thursday that the HTC Vivid update to Android 4.0 is now accessible via Wi-Fi or a PC connected to the smartphone.
The download will carry Face Unlock (it is a technology that allow unlock the screen through facial identification) an updated HTC Sense Experience interface and optimized audio with Beats by Dr. Drew Audio, AT&T said. A full list of Android 4.0 features is available at a Google Web site.
The Vivid is the first U.S. smartphone to obtain Android 4.0, also called Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), as an update, and the first to be issued by a wireless carrier, told by AT&T.
Some of its important & latest Features are:
Beats Audio - improve your music and video experience with Beats Audio.
Face Unlock - Face Unlock is a new screen-lock choice that lets you unlock your device with face identification.
Improved E-mail - Easier to send, read and handle from side to side receiver auto-completion, stored text, and nested sub-folders.
Bluetooth Mouse and keyboard - Use a Bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard with your device and change its settings.
UI Improvements - Access the notification bar on the lock screen. Draw apps/shortcuts on top of one a different to generate folders.
Advanced Voice and Text Input - stronger and can be used to speak an entire email. Smart enough to recognize pauses, breaks and punctuation. Advanced Spell Checker.
But the HTC Vivid is not the just device that will be upgraded to Android 4.0. AT&T has exposed a list of handsets that will be getting updated as well in the upcoming months. It contains the following devices;
LG Nitro HD
Motorola ATRIX 2
Motorola ATRIX 4G
Pantech Burst
Pantech Element
Samsung Captivate Glide
Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung Galaxy S II

No big shock in there, and expectantly this'll all happen on the earlier end of the "upcoming months" level, but it's good to observe that these carriers are aware that clients want to be kept in the loop on the Android update strategy.
