A sincere apology later and those of us that are waiting [im]patiently for the release of the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update to roll out on the Xperia S are back doing just that, waiting.
We recently reported that the ICS update would be coming to the Xperia S a little earlier than previously expected. The original date which was perhaps June or July for the update was cut down to a late May, early June release as one of the Sony representatives on their official forums said this would be the case. However, this staff member was mistaken and has retracted his statement, instead saying that the Android 4.0 update will come to the Xperia S in the latter part of Q2 this year, as expected originally (before he said otherwise basically).
Again, even when Ice Cream Sandwich/Android 4.0 does start to roll out for the Xperia S, it will still take a little extra time to get the software update to all customers across different regions and networks but, it is still scheduled for a release in the next few months at least.
