Sony Ericsson already told us which of its phones will be the first to get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Today it’s giving us a time frame.

Toward the end of March or early April, the Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo V and Xperia Ray will be the first to get Ice Cream Sandwich. The Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, Xperia Neo, Xperia Mini and Mini Pro, Xperia Active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will start getting updates in late April/early May.

Two manufacturers explaining the upgrade path to Ice Cream Sandwich on the same day? It’s gotta be a coincidence, right? Anyhoo, Sony Ericsson — hot on the heels of Motorola’s own post — has explained in great detail on its developer blog what all goes into updating its devices to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. 

An interesting new application hit the Android Market today from Sony Ericsson which allows you to easily share content from your Android smartphone to a bigger screen via a web browser. 

Sony Ericsson has released some gorgeous devices this year, not least of which is the compact but powerful Xperia Ray, a highly capable device with a super-vibrant Bravia Engine-powered display. It’s also got the latest version of Gingerbread, along with Sony’s best-in-class 8.1MP Exmor-R camera setup. Like we said in our review, the Ray is the most fully-featured 3.3-inch device available (and it’s getting ICS, too!)

Everyone is getting into the 720p display game it seems, and Sony Ericsson is no exception.   The Xperia Arc HD (formerly known by it’s Nozomi code name) has finally shown up on camera, and it’s a stunner.  We don’t know the specifications just yet, but the juicy bits have been revealed — 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM, front facing camera, Android 2.3.5, and of course the 4.3-inch 720p HD display @320dpi.  There’s a couple more pictures after the break (including a respectable 1800 Quadrant score if you’re in to that sort of thing).  SE, please bring this one to the states for us, OK?

The latest addition to the Sony Ericsson line of Xperia phones, the Xperia Neo V, is now available in the UK for £249.99 ($395) off contract.

Showing up on Sony Ericsson’s offical site, the new version of the original Neo is a steal at that price. Remember too, that Sony Ericsson have already come out and said that all their 2011 Xperia phones will be receiving an update to Ice Cream Sandwich.

HTC has announced on its official Facebook page that thanks to its recent partnership with cloud storage provider Dropbox, the Dropbox app will come preinstalled on all HTC Android phones. HTC phone owners will also benefit from 5GB of free cloud storage, versus the standard 2GB normally given to free account holders.

We’ve already heard HTC’s thoughts on Ice Cream Sandwich, and now Sony Ericsson has revealed its plans for the next version of Android. According to a statement on the manufacturer’s Dutch Facebook page, SE plans to bring Android 4.0 to its 2011 Xperia line, which includes phones like the Xperia Arc and Xperia Play.

Two of Sony Ericsson’s more interesting devices have just made their way onto Three UK at subsidized prices. The Xperia Arc S and SE Live with Walkman are now available for free on any of Three’s standard 24-month contracts.
