The ability to upgrade depends on the device. Android version 2.3.5 is the newest available for my phone.

The sync feature is a nice add-on, but for the average Joe I don't think it's a compelling reason to root the device. Unless there's other features on it that I'm missing...

FireFox (the android version sucks BTW) has a similar sync feature

Really like the Chrome for Android, the only bad thing is the lack of Flash support.

Uh, no. It depends on the device. My Droid X isn't going to get upgraded (most likely), so I won't see ICS until I get a new phone. Which isn't going to happen for a while (another year or two).

Not really. If you root, you can put ICS on your device (caveat: unless your device is really old). The Droid X can run the latest miui for sure, and from what I see on xda-developers there are a few other ICS builds you can try. CM9 will also be available soon and Droid X will be supported.

I just flashed my x10 yesterday from the att 2.1 to NA 2.3.3. I don't think my phone can get ICE?

FWIW, I have always used Dolphin Lite as my browser. I find Opera and Firefox slow

AirDroid is another app like WiFi File Explorer, with a better (I think) user interface. It allows file transfers to and from android devices that are on the same WiFI network without using a USB cable. Free on the Android Marketplace and the Amazon App Store.

If you're willing to root it, there are some ICS options for your phone.
