I don't see any updates on my Xoom. :-/

4.0 was tested on the ICS emulator, so it had better work on hardware. :-)

That's not a great report, though, as it doesn't list semantic changes. For example, one of the ICS breaking changes we ran across was that prior to 4.0 [0] BroadcastReceivers could respond to broadcasts immediately after installation. Afterward, the apps BroadcastReceiver would not fire until after an Activity had been launched. This required changing Fast Deployment from sending the SEPPUKU broadcast to inserting & launching a "dummy" activity so that the necessary app-specific directories would be created.

I still haven't seen any listing of such "behavioral" changes.
