Well all of you Xperia Play owners out there have something to rage about this lovely Friday as Sony has confirmed that there will be no Android 4.0 update coming to the Xperia Play. They have a reason for this but everyone should still rage just a bit.
The hit iOS game Dungeon Crawlers from Drowning Monkey Games, which we reported on in January of this year, has made its way over to Android in the form of a temporary Xperia exclusive. While these exclusives are usually solely for the Xperia Play, this particular one is for all Xperia brand smartphones, not just the Xperia Play.
AT&T has changed up their pricing for their Xperia Play 4G package deal. If you happen to be in the market for an Xperia Play, this new deal which is with a new 2-year contract will net you an Xperia Play 4G device along with your choice of plan and smartphone service.
An interesting report has come out over at The Verge regarding the Xperia Play phone and the direction Sony Ericsson almost took with the device. In a patent that had been filed back when the device was being developed, the Xperia Play almost came with two sliders: one being the gamepad and the other being a keyboard.
Back in March of this year Sega released the latest edition to their Virtua Tennis series of games, a mobile optimized title called Virtua Tennis Challenge. At the time of the game’s release, it was made available only for the Xperia Play with a release date for all other Android devices being in May 2012.
In a move that will surely score some points with Android developers, Sony started a program that allows developers to test their apps on a number of Xperia smartphones. Developers can take part in the Device Loaner Program and borrow an Xperia phone from Sony at no charge.
Sony has made good on its promise to start delivering the Ice Cream Sandwich update to its 2011 Xperia smartphones. As of right now, Ice Cream Sandwich is available for the Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and the Xperia ray. If you own one of these devices and happen to live in either Sweden, Iceland, Demark, Finland or Norway, feel free to start the update process now.
As promised by Sony awhile ago, we are starting to see more and more Playstation One games making their way to the Playstation store for certified devices. Over the past few days a total of eleven new PSOne games have been released onto the store.
Attention gamers! Summer is approaching and the temperature is rising. It will soon be time to chill on the beach with your favorite games and a nice cold ice cream sandwich…. Good thing there’s still time for Xperia Play owners as a number of Gameloft titles require a lot of work.
Sony recently started allowing developers and Android tinkerers in general to download a beta Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for the Xperia Play. Sony is specifically looking for feedback on how well the games on the Xperia Play run on the new operating system. Sony is taking all that data and using it to make the official ICS update for the Xperia Play as stable as possible.
