I have a 16Gb Tab S, rooted and ICS courtesy of Condi from XDA - who is much more helpful and responsive than $ony.

When I got my tablet, I was led to believe it would work with my SONY Dualshock gamepad - it did'nt, as we all know. (was fixed MONTHS later)

I contacted $ony at the time and got an immediate reply (whew - was I surprised), their response was to ask me for a link to a picture of the device I was trying to hook up, so they could understand what I was trying to do ""~@{~@)""

I have since had a very similar experience with my shiny new PS Vita - it does'nt work with other $ony products either, has an antiquated web browser and a "NEW" memory card format that is horrendously expensive.

One thing in common with both products is that $ony do NOT respond to requests to fix problems with their OS, but typically respond with a f/w update within 24 hours for perceived security flaws - so they are watching these forums and responding - but only to protect their own interests.

Personally I hope Google and their hardware developers come up with some alternative to $ony's portable gaming hardware - like a 5-7 inch tablet with physical controls to allow 'proper' gaming - Android has shown that it is more than capable of taking $ony on in this respect.

Either way, I for one will NOT be buying a $ony product again. (never thought I would ever say that)

Rant over - have a good day guys (& gals of course)

Or maybe they did and decided to ignore it

there you all

ld do with a bit more about fact that Sony UK/Europe have not said a word about dates since early January! Says a lot about Sony think obout us Doesn't it.

Finally the OFFICIAL Sony response you've been looking for..

ICS announcement for Europe - Release End of May

Is this the start of the roll out or then end? what I mean is country A gets it at the end of may while country X gets it many days later?

Very little confidence in anything Sony says these days. ITVPlayer and 4OD on the Bravia!

Well in true Sony fashion theres nothing like leaving it till the last minute.... sigh....

 

Its May 30th in their defence and they still have a little over 24 hours

 

wait a minute they did say May 2012 yes...??!! (sorry couldnt resist).

 

Im not here to bash Sony though Ive been a life long fan just a smidge tired now...

 

maybe not so blinkered with future purchases based on the simple fact it has felt like you have little or no interest in your customers. I hope you/we all get ICS if you have been waiting for it tomorrow...

 

Take care all

Sony did state that ICS would be release on the 31st May 2012..
