Back in December of last year, we’ve told you that a number of LG smartphones will get their servings of Ice Cream Sandwich. The Optimus 2X — which is the world’s first Android smartphone with a dual-core processor — was on that list, too. However, LG decided to flip-flop, saying that the original upgrade announcement was “general statement issued from HQ.” The Canadian arm of LG turned to Twitter to share the sad news, leaving those of you with the Optimus 2X to try out to cram unofficial ROMs onto their devices.
I really don’t get it. We see new devices with single-core processors running Android 4.0, so it’s safe to assume the Optimus 2X can handle the task just as well. Yeah its processor is kinda old these days, but it still has 2 m/f cores. That gotta count for something, right?

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
