Sony keeps Xperia upgrade train rolling, brings ICS to Mini Pro

[![Sony keeps Xperia upgrade train rolling, brings ICS to Mini Pro][1] ][2]

[Software update sagas][3] typically center around carriers and OEMs [failing to deliver to users][4] in a timely manner -- or, even at all. Not so with [Sony][5], which continues to set itself apart from the mobile pack by keeping to its [public timetable][6] and [doling out the Android 4.0 upgrades][7] to [Xperia handsets globally][8]. And despite community concerns that featherweight devices like the [Mini Pro][9] wouldn't make the cut, the company's surprising owners by making the Googlefied OS goods available to download for that diminutive handset now. You'll need to have the proprietary PC Companion software installed to access it, but after that, all should be smooth ICS sailing.
