Motorola decided that some of its smartphones won’t get their serving of Ice Cream Sandwich. Among users who will be abandoned by the company’s decisions are Atrix 4G, Photon 4G and Electrify. We’re kinda surprised with Moto flip-flopping on this one, but I guess the mentioned trio doesn’t have what it takes to “properly” run Android 4.0 — i.e. it could make the phones slower. If you can’t live with that decision and don’t want to spend extra cash on the new phone, you can always take the “unofficial route” and dig your way to the newer version of Android with the help of the hacking community at XDA-Developers or some other site.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
