Sony Tablet S, Tablet P getting Android 4.0 update

Sony recently posted some good news for Tablet S and Tablet P owners, confirming that the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will indeed be rolling out to both devices. The news was posted in Sony UK’s community forums, but the company hasn’t confirmed yet when this update will arrive.

Both devices feature unique form factors with the Tablet S being a 10-inch device that resembles a folded back magazine while the Tablet P sports a smaller more pocketable clam shell design. Both devices come with a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, Android 3.2 Honeycomb.

We’ve heard real minuscule nigh the two devices since actuation, but it’s discriminating to see that Sony is works activity both slates and that its bespoken programme hasn’t reserved a platform advance suchlike it has for Samsung’s Beetleweed S and Coltsfoot Tab.

Apple TV updates stream purchased TV shows to Australia, Canada and the UK

Apple TV users (the hockey puck, not the pie in the sky rumored flat panel with magic fairy dust inside and an extra unaired season of Firefly) in Canada, Australia and the UK were gifted a download today, bringing iCloud-streamed TV show purchases (which debuted back in August Stateside) out to their box. The shows had been available but only via iTunes on a computer. We haven’t heard anything official from Apple yet, but the usual per-episode price structure price structure of a couple bucks per episode still applies, so while entire groups of people that use the word “holiday” to describe a vacation browse the catalog, we’ll keep an eye out for any official word from Apple or word of other areas suddenly turned on.
