Well, that sorta explains why the Bionic wasn't mentioned in terms of getting ICS this week.

 

[BroidDrionic]

Well dang.

Well aint that just dandy. Now whoever released this can now get sued.

I sort of hate to say "I told you so", but i've been mentioning this possibility in several forums over the last couple of days.

The one thing that got my attention was the screenshot of the update prompt taken from the leaked Cheesecake build. It said it was an update from MR2 to MR4.

Right from the beginning, I wondered, "Where is MR3?" - this is probably Maintenence Release 3!

" Added easy access to bookmarks through a press and hold on the back key"

I can already do this on my phone. I don't understand the Google Play one. It just says Google Play.

I've never actually used it on my Bionic, but from my understanding it is a hack/program that allows one access to Motorola's Dev servers, where test builds can be downloaded and installed as OTA updates. In other words, one can use it to force an OTA of unapproved software builds.
