Sony Ericsson shows Android 4.0.1 ICS alpha ROM [Video]

When Sony Ericsson explained how hard it is to release a major software update, we got the feeling that we are in for a pretty long wait. it seems that the company developers are progressing faster than expected as they just released an alpha preview, which can be used by devs to start working on apps for Android Ice Cream Sandwich right now.

Anyway, there is a good deal of things that are already up and running and here goes the complete list:

• New "Roboto" font

• New "Holo" theme is supported (you are able to test apps written to make use of the Holo theme)

• Music player control from lock screen

• Updated UI in the Settings menu

• Updated UI in the web browser

• Updated UI and interaction with the new messaging action bar

• Updated UI for improved multitasking

• Swipe to dismiss notifications, tasks and browser tabs in the Notification menu
