Toshiba Thrive gets ICS update earlier than expected

The last we all heard from Toshiba about the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Thrive (AT100), was that it wouldn't be showing up until this fall. Toshiba missed their mark, but in a good way -- the Android 4.0.4 update is rolling out now to the 10-inch tablet. Besides all the greatness that comes with Ice Cream Sandwich, the update for the Thrive also has a few performance improvements.

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

There's no detail on the rollout itself, but we know it's available as a reader sent in a pic through the old Android Central app. With Jelly Bean being released already it's a bit late to the party, but it's nice to see Toshiba coming in earlier than expected. Still waiting for the update? Or did you get it and want to discuss? The best place to do either is in the Thrive forums
