Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich is coming to Sony's Tablet S and Tablet P fondleslabs - review links below, folks - the Japanese giant has revealed.

The confirmation only covers Japan, but it's a fair bet that ICS will be released to tablets globally, even if it's not posted outside of Japan immediately.

Sony Tablet P

There, the Android 4.0.3 update will arrive late next month, Sony said.

One new feature we hope gets broader availability: the option to stream content from net-enabled Blu-ray Disc recorders through a free Sony app called Recopla. ®

Hopefully the ability to unmount the SD card. I'm not fond of having to root mine just for that...

Re: I wonder what

It will have the googles Chrome browser which is enough of a toxic snooper/key logger etc. but as for their own variety, it's hard to say
