Sony Xperia Mini Pro gets the Ice Cream Sandwich update



You might have never even heard of the Xperia Mini Pro smartphone, but if you are one of the few that own one, you will be happy to know that the Ice Cream Sandwich update is ready for you.  According to online sources, Sony went ahead and confirmed the news for the smartphone owners and said they should be looking now for the update as it is ready to roll out to all of the devices.  The Xperia Mini Pro launched last year, in the summer, with the Android Gingerbread operating system installed.
The update will be rolling out to groups of devices, so do not fret if you are not able to get the download to your device today.  To get all of the Xperia Mini Pro users the update, it should not take more than a week.  The upgrade to the newest version of Android brings a new user interface and tons of other features to enhance your overall experience with the handset.  Sony is one of the few handset makers that keep customers up to date when it comes to what handset is getting the highly anticipated update and when it will be rolling out.
If one phone is getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update sometimes that means another one is not.  Along with the news for the Xperia Mini Pro, Sony talked about another handset that will not be getting the update.  The Sony Xperia Play, the company’s PlayStation Phone, will not be getting the updated version of the Android operating system.  If you do not remember the handset launching last year, let’s take a look at the specs as a refresher.
The Xperia Mini Pro shipped with a 3-inch TFT display that has a lower than average pixel resolution, a light sensor to help save on the 6 hours of battery time and was in the side-slider format.  The phone weighed only 4.8 ounces, came with a 5MP camera with LED flash and auto-focus, plus it could record 720p video and had a smaller web cam in the front for video calling.  A single core, 1GHz Snapdragon processor powered the phone and it was teamed up with 512MB of RAM and only 400MB of expandable internal memory.  The device also came with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support and could be used on GSM, UMTS and HSDPA data networks.
