Sony has made a video showcasing their favourite features of the Ice Cream Sandwich update :
I’d like to take this opportunity to address retailers across Australia. If you have tablets or phones in your store and you do not have them updated to the latest version of the Operating System offered by the manufacturer, then you are doing yourselves and your customers a disservice. Select one staff member to ensure that your devices are up to date, because things like OS Updates matter to customers these days.
