HTC announced that 16 of its handsets with get the ICS treatment, although details on exactly when that will happen are spare. We do know that HTC is in the “early stages” of pushing the update to HTC Sensation and Sensation SE devices, with Sensation 4G and Sensation XL to follow shortly thereafter. Considering that it will apparently take weeks for all Sensation and Sensation SE devices to get the update, it might be quite a while before owners of other handsets see ICS. The full list of HTC phones destined for Android 4.0 is as follows: DROID Incredible 2, Amaze 4G, Desire, Desire...

Looks like HTC has quietly slipped its users a spying app that tracks an alarming amount of user behavior and sends that data off to itself and perhaps others via a mysterious service in the cloud. The snooping app came nestled with the 2.3.4 Android update pushed out to some of its smartphones such as the Sensation 4G and EVO 4G.
