    So to confirm...

     

    The Tablet S (which ships with 3.x) will be upgradable to Android 4.0?

     

    Any time frame for this?

     

    Thanks,

    Leon

    That is certainly good news, but what about the recent update for PS3 controller support

    thats great news, still waiting on the december update for the uk, its a week overdue now.

     

    in regards to just getting used to android, it is more of a evolution and the jump from 3.x to 4.x isnt that big, its more of a jump from 2.x which is on phones.

    once you know android, its abit like windows, you will know exactly how to use it. people who have only used windows 95 can use windows 7 no problem same is true with android.

    Will ICS fix some of the issues people are mentioning on the forums? WiFi dropout, battery life, Sony apps being able to play data straight off the SD card etc?

    Any idea when this is going to happen. It seems to be taking a while

    I hope we see ICS pushed out soon. Being able to set the browser's user agent to mimic a desktop so you don't have bad "mobile" versions forced is something I'm in dire need of.

    @stowball,

     

    I use the default browser for most things, but for the few sites I use that look better in desktop I use Dolphin browser HD. It's free and easy to config

    Yeah, I use Dolphin HD on my phone, but that nor the beta Dolphin For Pad come close to the default browser for tablet usability.

     

    I click a lot of links from Twitter, too and it's only after I've followed the link that I discover that the sites are poorly made, meaning I'm in no hurry to re-open it in Dolphin.

    the default browser is the best on the tablet imo. Have you tried ubersocial for twitter? it has LivePreview setting, meaning in landscape mode the twitter feed is on the left, with the content of the link shown on the right (similar to the email viewed in landscape).

     

    It's not perfect but may help
