Toshiba Thrive receives Android 4.0.4 ICS update earlier than expected

We know some of you Toshiba Thrive owners were a bit bummed when the manufacturer announced that the Android 4.0 update for your tablet would be delayed. Well it seems that whatever was causing the delay has been resolved and there are now reports of the Android 4.0 ICS rolling out to Thrive owners earlier than expected. This was announced by a Toshiba rep on the Thrive forums and several improvements that users can expect from the Android 4.0.4 update includes improved video and audio performance, improved camera functions, improved signal strength and connectivity just to name a few. The update should be rolling out but if you haven’t received the notification to update, you can try to pull it manually by accessing the “Service Station” app on your tablet and check for updates. In the meantime if you’re a Thrive owner who has already updated their device, let us know in the comments below on how it is treating you!
