Thunderbolt Apps have been updating a LOT

I wonder if the apps are all being updated in anticipation of ics being pushed through soon. Anyone else noticed this?

All apps will be updated no matter what the device is. I currently have the rezound. Updates improve the apps.

sent from either my HTC Rezound or my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet

I might be wrong, but I think the apps are being updated to accommodate 4.2. In other words, an app is updated so it will work with every version of android.

You're not wrong. I have a Nexus 7 and a lot of the apps that are being updated are maintenance fixes to get the programs working under 4.2 - it has nothing to do with a potential ICS release for the Thunderbolt (much as I'd love it to be so).

There would be no reason to release any app fixes in relation to a Thunderbolt ICS release - ICS has been out for a long time now and there won't be any Thunderbolt-specific fixes to apps.

personally, I don't care if the T-bolt ever gets ICS. just for the fact that it's taking so long to get it ready, when we've been waiting 6 months now, speaks to the fact that this is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. I'm expecting any day now that we will get an announcement that we're not getting ICS.

This phone is never going to get ICS and I am ok with it. At this point, I am ready to throw it through a wall and will never, ever buy anything HTC again. The data drops and the resets make it seem as if my phone knows it is about to be replaced. I have 2 months left until my upgrade and can not wait. See ya HTC!!
