Sony's Ice Cream Sandwich rollout now in final stages for 2011 Xperia devices

[![Sony's 2011 Xperia Ice Cream Sandwich rollout now in final stages][1] ][2]

You have to hand it to [Sony][3], the company's more than made good on its [Android 4.0 upgrade promise][4] ([save for that Play hiccup][5]). After rolling out Ice Cream Sandwich to its [NXT mid-ranger][6] just a few days ago, it's now ready to dole out the software goods to the majority of the 2011 Xperia lineup beginning this week. That's only the first round though, as a trio of leftover devices -- the mini pro, neo L and Live with Walkman -- will be privy to this OS boost in the "next few weeks." With this latest feel-good news reassuring brand loyalists and official word of the [Xperia S' entrance into AOSP][7], it sure seems like prime time to hitch your ride to the company's Google-powered mobile wagon. After all, [Jelly Bean's bound to spill over][8] at some point.
