In the case of Sony Ericsson, the maker will be bringing the ICS updates in early 2012. It’s updating its 2011 Xperia smartphones with Gingerbread 2.3.4 in near future. The ICS update will come to the same portfolio of phones.
Motorola, whose newest offering, the Razr will be available with Android 2.3 Gingerbread for now; will get the Ice Cream Sandwich update by early next year. As is usual with the company, the update will be available OTA.
Talking of tablet PCs, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, may be the first tablet to get the ICS.
