Some very good news for owners of new Sony Ericsson Android phones has arrived, with the company confirming plans to update its recent Android devices to the “next Android platform made available to us” once it’s finished with the 2.3.4 update it’s currently rolling out .
While the statement doesn’t specifically say it’s working on an Android 4.0 update at the moment and makes it sound like it hasn’t yet been granted access to the code, at least it’s trying. Here’s the statement, taken from Engadget :
Sony Ericsson is currently rolling out the upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.4 across its entire 2011 Xperia smartphone portfolio. This software upgrade will be available through a phased roll out in select markets. Beyond Gingerbread 2.3.4, we plan to upgrade our 2011 Xperia smartphone portfolio to the next Android platform made available to us.
The thought of running Android 4.0 on the Xperia Arc is rather thrilling. Or at least, as thrilling as life gets for us these days.

LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
