Following the release of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich software update for the HTC Thunderbolt, Verizon has also released a software update for the HTC Droid Incredible. The Droid Incredible which is exclusive to Verizon features a 3.7 inch touch display, 8GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, an 8 megapixel camera and is powered by a 1GHz processor

It isn't a major software update which we would like it to be, rather a software fix for the random reboot issues which have plagued the device. The software version will be upgraded to 4.08.605.19 but you will remain on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Since the device is over two years old now, it is unlikely that many of you will still be using it, but for those you do still rely on this device or if you have the device around somewhere the update will surely be a welcome sight.
