Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 software upgrade for Xperia P

[Guest hecatae]

Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 software upgrade for Xperia P is rolling out this week! Benefits include:

• New ways to experience your media with new media applications – “WALKMAN”, “Album” and “Movies”
  
• Extended standby mode, increasing standby time by up to four times (depending on user-profile and data consumption)
  
• Lock screen with improved functionality
  
• Resizable widgets for improved personalization
  
• Improved control of your mobile data consumption
  
• Recent Apps button for a clear overview of your applications

Sony have stated that all Xperia P users will get a notification when the upgrade is ready, but direct availability in the phone may vary across different markets and carriers. The update will also be accessible via PC Companion or Bridge for Mac.

After the P release, the next devices to be updated by Sony are the Xperia U, Xperia Sola and Xperia Go.

Further information is available at www.sonymobile.com/update.

It's nice to see Sony being so transparent about updates, lets hope the Jelly Bean updates arrive quicker than the ICS updates have...!
