And, as we all know, Android 4.0's no longer the freshest treat around, thus the Walkman maker (http://www.engadget.com/tag/sony/) will now have to answer all the Jelly Bean (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/android-4-1-jelly-bean-review-a-look-at-whats-changed-in-googl/)questions to come. The first one to do so was a resident Sony mobile expert on the company's UK Facebook page, revealing that the Xperia Arc S (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/06/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s-review/) and the itty-bitty Xperia Mini Pro (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/05/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-and-mini-pro-hands-on/) won't be receiving the latest and greatest OS from Mountain View. Meanwhile, he also stated there's nothing buttery in the works for the elegant Xperia S (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/08/sony-xperia-s-review/), though he did say "ICS should now be approved" for the device. Perhaps this is a sign it's time to start looking for an updgrade, no?
