Sony Ericsson 2011 Xperia models to be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich?

Sony EricssonIn late August, Sony Ericsson committed to upgrading its entire 2011 Xperia range to Android Gingerbread version 2.3.4. It appears that it has gone even further with suggestions that their 2011 Xperia smartphones are all Android Ice Cream Sandwich ready.

The statement was made by a Sony Ericsson representative to UK-based SoMobile.com but the company later reached out to the site to clarify and indicate that it had made no official decision yet:

“When it comes to future platforms of the Android OS, we will make them available to consumers in a timely manner, as long as they improve the user experience and are viable from a hardware point of view.”

Google is expected to launch Android Ice Cream Sandwich in the October or November time frame. Sony Ericsson has not given any details as to when its Xperia devices will be upgraded although a 2012 date seems likeliest assuming it even happens.

Just keep those fingers crossed!
