Sure it’s been a while since Ice Cream Sandwich has been out, but at least more and more devices are (finally) being updated to the latest Android 4.0.4 software. Sony announced through its blog that its Xperia S smartphone is next in line to get the software makeover. It will gradually roll out the software starting today and promises to bring a host of goodies for Xperia S owners. On the ICS side, users will be treated to items such as an improved lock screen (which includes Facial unlock) and resizable widgets. On the Sony software side— users will be treated to things like the WALKMAN app, which blends Sony’s audio technology with social intergration (think Facebook or Twitter) and the Movies app— which allows users of the device to have the ability to take advantage of the phone’s screen and hardware to stream movies in high quality audio/video.
The update is pretty hefty— coming in at around 200MB or so. But hey, the end result will make everything worth it… believe us. Keep in mind if you’re on a carrier-branded version of the Xperia S, you may need to wait a while before you see that long-awaited upgrade notification on your phone.

A District Court in the Hague, Holland, has ruled that some of Apple’s older iPads (iPad 1 and iPad 2) and iPhones (3G, 3Gs, and 4) violate one of the Korean firm’s 3G patents. Today’s ruling regards European Patent EP1188269, which protects “Apparatus for encoding a transport format combination indicator for a communications system.” Also, for winning this case it seems as if Apple may have to ante up some cash towards Samsung’s way as compensation. Is this sweet justice? Honestly, it probably doesn’t matter. This is just pocket change for Apple and even with this loss, I can guarantee that it will not make Apple stop themselves from doing this again in the near future. I know us Android fans are getting tired of Apple constantly trying to stop both Samsung and HTC from continuing their Android success, but if you haven’t gotten used to it by now, you might as well start to. I don’t see this changing anytime soon.

Google I/O 2012, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, is just a week away and Google has just released this year’s official conference app in the Play Store. This year’s app is looking pretty nice with a visual overhaul, Google+ integration, personal schedule with reminders, and the ability to stream conference video directly. What other features does the app include? Here’s the list from the Play Store:
View the conference agenda and edit your personal schedule
View detailed session, code lab, and speaker information, including speaker bios, photos, and Google+ profiles
+1 sessions right from the app
Participate in public #io2012 conversations on Google+
Guide yourself using the conference map
Get a reminder a few minutes before sessions in your schedule are due to start
View information about companies in the Developer Sandbox
Keep up with announcements from the I/O team during the conference
View your schedule on your Android 3.0+ device’s home screen using an app widget
Play back “I/O Live” session video streams on your Android 3.0+ devices
Automatically sync sessions in your schedule to your Android 4.0 device’s calendar
Beam session details from your Android 4.0, NFC-enabled device to another using Android Beam
The app works great on both phones and tablets running Android 2.2 and higher. Though the app will be more useful for those of us attending the conference (this is my first year… yay!), anyone with an interest in Android, Google, and all their technologies will definitely get something out of it. In other words, if you’re reading this, you should get the app.
