you didn't show RAM usage, very important thing, on gingerbread i'm often running out of it so i'm afraid of ICS.. official release is apparently out but it's 4.0.2!
If the Arc S had front camera, larger internal memory capacity, a dual/quad core processor, with ICS stable OS, this would of been the worlds ULTIMATE Phone!
Can not wait until Xperia Play 2 comes out whenever that is. I'm hoping for Dual-core and 720p Oled Screen and that the physical buttons on the screen change into software buttons
@bobxxxyourmom Aesthetically probably not. Sony Ericsson have contributed loads to ICS so you will find that a lot of new features of ICS, sony already have with Gingerbread. Besides we all know that we can decorate Android to look like what ever we want. even iOS.
Our developers are now busy merging our current Xperia software with the new features in Android 4.0. With the holiday season around the corner, we’re happy to confirm that the first 2011 Xperia™ smartphones will be upgraded to Android 4.0 starting from end March/early April 2012. The first smartphones to get the upgrade are Xperia™ arc S, Xperia™ neo V and Xperia™ ray. Soon after, starting from end April/early May, Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini and mini pro, Xperia™ pro
Yaaay i have icecream sandwhich 4.0.3 on my play and its till a bit buggy but they shall be fixed shortly i made a video on my channel showing it feel free to check it out guys
@gdgtrn To load custom software like original ICS, you need to unlock your bootloader and load custom software. Full details of these methods can be found on our website. Thanks

@MrDarrenarvin When Sony Ericsson release the official update, it will add the new software around your personal data (hopefully), so it will not wipe any previously downloaded games. As a back up, all of your games purchased on Android Market will be there to just download again. EA games might not be as they use their own system. In other words, dont worry about it.
@1Nova779 You can only get this, if you have a rooted device. If not you will have to wait for the official thing. For full details on rooting and such. Visit our website.
The final release is going to be pure android, like Verizon's Xperia Play, at least that's what I heard... Verizon, get your act together! I hope you skipped 2.3.4 for ICS's release.
thats really cool! i am sooo excited by 4.0 and the multi tasking thats on the tab is sooo easy to use i am so please they put it on the mobile devices. the face unlock is cool, just not sure how secure it is!!! lol will have to test it with photos and stuff!
