Is the sony tablet S going to get updated to Andoird 4 Ice Cream Sandwich? If so when?

Ice cream sandwich looks awesome and I'd love to see this on my tablet S

Hi podler99,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

There has been no news from Sony regarding Ice cream sandwich at the moment, if Sony do make the upgrade available I'm sure someone will post on this forum..

Hi Thalamus,

Thanks for the welcome.

I was kind of hoping someone from Sony keeps an eye on these boards and could maybe give us an official line on the schedule.

But yes i'm sure we'll get a post from someone here the second it officially lands.

Here's hoping it sooner rather than later.

I'm in the market for a tablet and the Sony S is at teh top of my list, but it's worrying that i cannot find any official info on whether the tablet S will get ICS. lack of support and not announcing the update before xmas will make my mind up to get the Asus tablet.

hope we have some info soon.

Cheers

Rich

ics is more about bringing honeycomb to phones and therefore the upgrade isnt that significant for tablets. although I am 90% sure that ics will come to the sony tablet as they have been releasing updates month on month so far and next update is sometime in december and promise updates for up to 2 years as per their phones.

Wrong, ICS is to bring huge improvement over Honeycomb and Gingerbread plus many new features for both smartphones and tablets. hopefully it will come to my Tablet S.

like? its a huge improvement for gingerbread not honeycomb.

at last you do not need hardware buttons thanks to the system bar and you have a thumbnail of apps for multitasking. hmm where have I seen this before? alot of the new features really have no place on a tablet like nfc.

the only benefit to honeycomb would be the ability to create folders and improved web browsing.

Are we seriously still waiting for ICS??

This is a joke. The sony UI is so light I can't see it would take long to port from 3.2.2.2.2.2.2.2 or whatever we're on at the moment!

This is becoming a joke now.. I was going to upgrade my mobile phone to the Xperia but seeing as that phone has an 'Ice Cream' promise too I won't be taking another risk.

Come on guys.... everyone else has Ice Cream now... and you wonder why Samsung & HTC are over-taking you in these markets... it isn't rocket science.

P.S Could someone from Sony directly respond to us.

Sony has it’s Tablet P and Tablet S are scheduled to get the Android 4.0 (Ice Crem Sandwich) update at the end of April, just like a host of other tablets. They have also announced that they will be adding certain photo functionalities like the ability to activate the tablets’ cameras directly from their lock screens, edit photos in the gallery application, and take panoramic photos. These camera features were previously found on Sony’s NEX and Alpha series digital cameras. The update also allows Sony Tablet users to watch programs they’ve recorded on their compatible Sony Blu-Ray recorders with a downloadable app. Some of the features are for Japan only right now. well i am hope i am right about this!

Hi Godzilla. May I ask you a question? How did you get your internet favourites fixed? My Chrome favourites haven't been syncing for well over a month now, is this the problem you were having?

hi, very sorry MoFoHo but i cannot remember exactly what sony support asked me to do now!. we went into the settings and they asked me to do something that did take long. but worked straight away it changed my homepage back to the sony homepage, i typed in the bbc and saved it to favourites and it worked then changed my homepage and everything has saved since. but after you go into settings i cannot remember where we went. but sony sorted it in one call. cheers.
