So i was bored. Decided to start chatting to someone at Sony on the live chat, fishing details out of her were a bit slow but this is what i got, just going to post the useful information.
Arron: is there any estimate for the Xperia 2011 phones getting Ice Cream Sandwhich?
Hayley:The release date is late March/ April. Any information at the moment would be posted on our blogs here: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/
Arron: Being an Xplay user i was wondering if there is any word of a successor?
Hayley:There is no development or plans for a new phone of this type.
Arron: A lot of people are wondering when the UK/EU and other parts of the world are going to start receiving some form of the Playstation store offering Playstation/Sony games other than PSX classics i.e. Japan getting Loco Roco etc.
Hayley: There are many new exciting ideas we have ready to push out shortly after the release of the upcoming firmware, I cannot say what.

yep so we are looking at a lot more to come with are play's
Didn't I read somewhere that most of the 2011 series phones would be getting ICS at the end of March / start of April but that the Play wouldn't be one of them as it's got different hardware and requires more work? In fact, I recall May / June being quoted at one stage.
I'm not sure how much truth there is in what I just said and I can't find the original thread that I am thinking of so sorry if I have gotten this completely wrong
EDIT:
Didn't see the other thread on this topic. I guess it's just a wait and see.

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to arrive in Q1 2011 on Samsung Galaxy Tab

According to a tweet released by SamFirmware a few days ago, it seems that Samsung Galaxy Tab will receive the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update at the end of Q1 (1st quarter) 2011. We are not sure if this is true or not but according to them this news is “based on FW and insider news”.
We all know that Android 2.3 is already getting tested on different devices such as the new PlayStation Phone and Google accidentally released a video showing how the new android OS works. And if we take into account the fact that carriers still have to update their mobile devices to Android 2.2, it makes sense to wait a bit until everyone is on the same OS.
I am sure that Android 2.3 will arrive soon also based also on the fact that Google’s CEO and Chairman of the Board, Eric Schmidt, confirmed at the Web 2.0 Summit that Gingerbread will be launched “in the next few weeks”.
We attached bellow a few videos from Google and from the leaked PSPhone which gives you an insight on how the new update performs/looks like. Do you think there will a lot of improvements compared to 2.2? Will this update be fully optimised to work on the Samsung Galaxy Tab? We will have to wait and see
thank you for the information this is good news
Hope the browser on the tab will default to desktop mode

The reason ot doesnt is because so many websites are Android friendly/have Android only features. You can get other browsers that perform as well/better that have desktop mode.

Given that 2.3 still isn't out for any platform yet in a final state, and the usual length of time it takes for OEMs to release a customised firmware for any platform (how many phones have 2.2 that were "promised" it?), I'll be amazed if it turns up by the end of March.
Here's hoping though.
2.3 is a lot more modular than older revisions were. In theory it should take less time and effort to roll out than 2.2 did.

An option so it at least remembers that youve set it to desktop version would be appreciated, then those that want to keep the mobile versions are unaffected whilst those who want a full web experience dont have to change their useragent everytime they load their browser.

Well, the Gingerbread-equipped Google Nexus S phone is basically a slightly improved Samsung S, so hopefully APKs and other hacked ROM bits will soon start becoming available for the Tab too
Firmware dumps are already available (on this very forum), but of course they are not usable as-is. Still, it won't take long to see some results. The Gingerbread source code will be available later this month via AOSP, in the meantime the SDK can be studied via the emulator.

i would also be interested to know whether the galaxy tab will receive the honeycomb update to.that updatewill support tablet devices, but samsung are awful at updating their devices, they want pepe to upgrade to new hardware,I suspect that they are going to release galaxy tab 2!
good stuff, cant wait!
The biggest question is: will the VOIP module be crippled?
I wouldnt keep my hopes up until end of june that is. I really doubt we will get 2.3 before summer, seeing all those years how slow updates are by all companies. Just my 2 cents.
Sadly, most this info is no good to US stuff. It's all when the carrier releases it.

Yea, that may be the case so we dont know the for sure date, but with this news we know we should be getting it anyway.
I hope that will fix the problem with Exchange email not being able to display HTML emails. I spent several hours on the phone with Samsung this week and they determined they couldn't fix the problem but they "hoped" an upgrade to 2.3 would.
This issue has something to do with SSL security. HTML emails do come in for things like Gmail and Hotmail but with some exchanges, the emails come in as plain text.
Paul.
So there's now a half working port for the SGS.
Wonder if the tab will get the same love? I'm considering switching to an iPad + SGS to get the best of both worlds,simply because i'm underwhelmed by the dev support of the Tab.

If you remember the phone came out before froyo was announced. You can't accuse them of not designing the phone for something that didn't exist at the time.
Having said that, it isn't an excuse for not supporting froyo. Everyone knows it can handle it. Heck, there are custom Roms lol

Just playing devil's advocate here, but nowhere have I seen SE state that the X10 series will get no more updates. Maybe they're skipping 2.2 in favor of 2.4?

Hmm... I wonder where unknown13 is?
Lol maybe he didn't know about this either...
Or if he did, maybe he heard that there wasn't going to be a Froyo update and hence assumed that X10 will get gingerbread
my X10 is heavily used for exchange, gmail syncs and gaming. so i need to keep the os updated. well i guess i'll be selling my X10 very soon. unless we can get the hardware working off the AOSP mods and the darn bootloader
i've always liked SE phones but i think that's the last of it... HTC FTW

Hi all First – As a clarification regarding the current Xperia products –
We are planning another upgrade to bring new features (such as for example multi-touch for Xperia X10) to the current family of Xperia™ smartphones in Q1 2011.
However, at this stage those plans do not include updating the underlying Android version
This decision is based on that we believe that with the current hardware platform an overhaul of the underlying core OS wouldn’t drastically improve the user experience
We believe that the current Xperia range on Android 2.1 coupled with our proprietary upgrades and unique hardware delivers a user experience that is on par with, and in many cases better than, a vanilla installation of Android 2.2
Our priority right now is to keep enhancing the user experience of the existing products through coming updates and to deliver a fantastic range of smartphones in 2011 that are all on the latest possible version of Android – that is a target we are determined to hit! version of Android – that is a target we are determined to hit

For one, I know that while toying with the brand SE did use "Experia" at one point or another.
Some of those guys that gave him all that rot, should very seriously apologize in that thread.
Oh it is disappointing My eyes on Xperia Arc now
Repost? --from phrandroid
An interesting interview with George Hotz – better known as GeoHot in the hacking world – that sees him unofficially exacting revenge on Sony in this ongoing legal battle between the two. If you didn’t know, GeoHot was the guy who jailbroke the iPhone and hacked the PlayStation 3. Sony’s a bit peeved and has tossed him into an expensive legal battle, but that isn’t stopping the guy from doing what he’s going to do.
In the interview above at around the four minute mark, he states that he’s bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to look at the encryption and security Sony Ericsson’s implemented. He also mentions he’s going to buy an Xperia Play and look at that, so I assume the X10 is to help him get a head start and see how exactly Sony Ericsson does things so he can crack the Xperia Play ahead of time.
I’m not so sure that strategy is the right way to go as the Xperia X10 is nowhere near the Xperia Play, software wise. The Xperia X10 sits on Android 2.1 while phones such as the Play and Arc will launch on Android 2.3/2.4 with the newest version of TimeScape. Encryption practices may end up being similar between the two families of Xperia phones, but there’s no way to tell right now. [Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog]
PS: In other news, the X10 has messed around and gotten itself a Gingerbread port. (Perhaps THIS is what GeoHot was planning to do with it.) The build comes straight from the Xperia Arc. Things aren’t perfect, but you have to imagine the devs behind it are hammering away at its issues.

well, the guy actually did jailbreak the iphone, ipad and the sony playstation 3, so i'd admit he certanly has some knowledge in hacking! Maby he just has'nt had time due to the lawsuit from Sony taking up alot of time and energy to dig into this phone.

As i have been looking over the web, searching Asus's FB pages, there were some answers when TF101 will get ICS update.
But the problem is because different Asus people answer us differently.
NOTE! All quotes are from their FB pages, you can check them out.
Nr.1: From: "ASUS North America": soon. Its in the process of being approved by google. once that is done we will be able to push it out to you guys.
Nr.2: From: "ASUS": Possibly Feb. No confirmed dates at this point. -Mark, ASUS
Nr.3: From: "ASUS Serbia" Lepa vest za korisnike Transformer TF101. Ice Cream Sandwich za isti se očekuje polovinom februara. (meaning: we get it in mid Feb.)
So, what do you guys think? We get that ICS in mid feb, sooner or later?
I kinda bet its gonna be later than that
Signed.
id say somewhere between next week and mid February.
How about when we get it, we get it. There are so many threads dedicated to this topic already.
I don't think it will be mid February that's for a Serbia. I think Asia asus might be closer to truth.

I would have to say that this is just one too many threads about this update. Geez!
close this topic, asus has already announced the ICS update will be sometime during the last week of January (which also includes the first week of February). We can only wait and see if they are accurate.

The Mayan didn't say anything about SSC. So i would say no.
Asus NA is right for NA consumers. Mid-February seems correct if you're living in Serbia. It has nothing to do with NA consumers since the launch appears to be staggered based on location.
So for NA consumers it's "soon". End of story.
I think it will come when Federer wins the Australian Open. Or when Nadal breaks another knee or something.

Although I can't find it right now, I remember reading one of Asus's facebook comments that said the US and Taiwan will get the update at the same time.
Asus Italia said at the END of february.... Anyway i think it will released at the end of this one.... i HOPE
Only when asus hears no more complaints from disgruntled transformer prime customers unable to update to ics due to "unknown serial number" debacle.
I suggest all those who are complaining daily about the delay of ICS jump over to the prime forum and see how much fun they are having with the ICS update. Yes I would like the ICS update, but not at the expense of the problems the prime folks are having. Maybe it is best we don't have it just yet.
Can't wait!
I voted never.
I dont expect anything from modern capitalist companies who care about numbers and not persons and dont give a damn about customers who created the base for the prime and the future autobot and so on....

That's a lot of hate, but i agree, if I were to own this company i'd do everything for charity, making a profit is overrated!
I don't know how focused they can be on updating the old-gen Transformer, but I guess they will update, since both are catering to different market segments, and you might want to get the cheaper TF101 if it's good enough for you even with the TF201 out.
That said, I'm sure they'll be using the Prime as an ICS Guinea pig. I voted for mid-February, and I guess we'll get several minor updates after it's out (whenever it's out) for bug fixing (as it's been the case so far).
Damnit Asus... Yesterday they said "Awaiting Google approval", and now they're saying Mid-February...

Well, the first source is 100% unreliable, as their top post states that Z1 will receive Marshmallow, though Sony has officially dropped support, whilst the second source just states some rumours.
The only indication I have seen that we might be getting Marshmallow this year is Telstra's update roadmap, where they said that Z4 Tablet will be on Marshmallow in January, and since it's a carrier branded device, unlocked Z4 Tablets would probably receive Marshmallow earlier.

There's also new AOSP binaries as of today, so that's cool.

Do you mean AOSP binaries of Android 6.0?
Hmm, just noticed that this is mostly only available for Orange (or formerly Orange) carrier devices. And still no changelog?
factory unlocked no update...
The updates so far. A bunch yesterday, only a couple more added today.
Bunch of Vodafones added since yesterday.
