Sony Xperia Ice Cream Sandwich update given thumbs up
Sony has posted a quick update on how the roll-out of Ice Cream Sandwich to its 2011 Xperia line up is going.
The short answer? It’s going pretty well considering the Android 4.0 roll-out only began in mid-April.
The Sony Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo and Xperia Ray updates are all "progressing as planned" with the global roll-out spreading across various countries according to schedule.
What a treat
If you’re wondering exactly when, where, how, and at what strike of the clock you’ll get the upgrade, you can head on over to the support forum which features a list of software kits that are customised to each handset on each network and do a spot of cross-referencing.
If you can’t see a mention of your own handset/network combo, it means your kit isn’t ready yet and you’ll have to check back later for the update.
After the neverending saga of the Gingerbread update for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, it’s excellent to see Sony being so on it with the Ice Cream Sandwich release. See, Sony fans – dreams do come true.

Sony Xperia P and Xperia U release date ‘confirmed’ for UK
It looks like the Sony Xperia P and Sony Xperia U will be washing up on UK shores a little later than expected, as a May 28 release date appears online.
We had originally heard, via online retailer Clove, that the Xperia P would arrive on May 7, however the website has now updated its stock prediction to May 28.
The Xperia P is currently available for pre-order from Clove for £330 SIM-free and the budget focussed Xperia U can be nabbed for £204.
Sony’s trio of new handsets is almost complete
The Sony Xperia P will give you a 1GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch display, Android 2.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich coming later in the year), 8MP camera with HD video recording, 16GB of internal storage and NFC technology bundled with a few of Sony’s NFC SmartTags.
If you’re on a tighter budget then you may want to opt for the Xperia U which features a 1GHz processor, 3.5-inch display, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, Android 2.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich coming a few months later too), a 5MP camera capable of taking 3D images and 720p video and 3D surround sound audio technology.
The Xperia P and Xperia U complete the trio of new handsets from Sony, which released the high-end Xperia S earlier this year.

The update for these three phones will make its way to global markets in the next 4-6 weeks, so hold on tight if you’re not in Scandinavia.
But wait, there’s more
Sony will roll out the update to more of the Xperia range towards the end of May/start of June including; Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, Xperia Neo, Xperia Mini, Xperia Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Xperia Active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman.
Sony, like many manufactures, has been slow off the mark with providing the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade to customers and now the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation XE are receiving the upgrade, the pressure is on.
When Sony does get round to pushing Ice Cream Sandwich to your Xperia phone you will need to connect it to your computer to download and install – no space-age over-the-air update here.
