This week we are seeing Sony Ericsson teasing us with a new device, What we are really sure about that its an Android ICS device under this fancy white sheet, It may be something Big and that it will be revealed next week during the CES 2012 event. We Guess its a tablet with the latest ICS 4.0.3 but we will see...

Wait for our CES 2012 Coverege!

Sony has promised an Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 upgrade to all the Tablet S devices during this year. they have now also dropped the price of the device by $100 by Making the 16GB model costs $399 and the 32GB model costs $499.

Sony is also throwing in some free stuff along with the price cut. Buyers will get store credit and five free movie rentals from Sony Video Unlimited service, five free PlayStation Store game downloads and 180 days of free Music Unlimited service.

Sony Ericsson and Box delivered on their promise and have started offering 50GB of cloud storage to the Xperia users for free. The promotion runs from today to the end of next year and all Xperia users have to do to take advantage of it is download the free Box app from the Android market and create an account or simply log in if they happen to have one.

The Box cloud storage allows uploading of all kinds of files, including multimedia content and documents.

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

With the mystery surrounding the Sony Ericsson Xperia Nozomi now almost completely gone, the rumor mill is focusing on the next smartphones by the company. And the one, which just appeared on some leaked shots should be some way off in the future as it is only carrying the Sony branding.

Sony Ericsson is to become just Sony in mid-2012 so we probably won't see the smartphone pictured below until then. And if its rumored specs sheet turns out correct, we are not sure the waiting will be worth it.
