Even so, JellyBean for the Xperia Tab is still a fair distance off, second week into February. It was said at launch last IFA it would be out by December and even so it'll be 4.1.2....

---

Hopefully Sony will tell how to unlock the bootloader. Unlikely though

Would be nice, they have done for their mobiles, so don't see why the tablet would be any different. Just root would be nice on R6B for the Xperia Tab.

---

CRAP!!!
But I like the "when you update you CAN'T go back as the firmware updates the hardware" lol idiots. @8.15
Condi will save us Org Tab S

---

I just hope they fix this annoying freeze/shutdown bug. Paid lots of money for the xperia tab s and I am distraught how slow Sony is in implementing solutions..

Sony better get the bootloader unlock and allow it to get rooted easily has a last gift. :/
I mean really?, even CyanogenMod can create a better custom rom then Sony obviously.
Why is Sony doing this, it does not matter about the old hardware "not supported" excuse, it would work anyway, they just ether don't care about the S1 or they are just being plain lazy even though they gave a lot of updates to the device. o.o

Perhaps the S and P are tragedies.
It's no doubt that all the attentions of Sony are focused on the Xperia Tablet.

Well am i glad i have the xperia tablet s and not the non xperia.
I cant wait for jellybean

Whilst it is disappointing not to get JB, it's not the end of the world
I've an HTC One X+ with JB and it's not that different. The Sony S hasn't lost anything, email still works, browsing still works, apps still work, it still plays music and video
I suspect the low sales of the S means that it's not cost effective to spend time developing and to be honest it really doesn't surprise me.
It is more disappointing that we can't yet install custom ROM's

---

BORING
Just release it already.
or better jet just unlock boot loader and allow root access, so we all can move on with our life instead of heaving to wait and hang on every word spoken by any boring lame Sony employe

Problem, there are still bugs in the system like Walkman image flickering bug, music player audio limitation block with loudspeaker which is a bad bug caused by the new audio modules, browser cannot handle too much PHP and much more.
Jelly Bean has alot of features like disabling notifications on any application (Useful to stop airpush), faster, UI is much better and much more features.

Bugs in the system are not ICS/JB specific. They just need Sony to pull their finger out and sort.
As for more features, still not a convincing argument really. When the S came out it had HC which was good enough at the time so why would the tablet now not be good enough, especially since it's got ICS. I still say it does everything it did at launch.
Which features in JB would suddenly make the S 'that' much better.
Look, I'm not saying Sony is right not to add JB but I still maintain it's not that big a deal

Sony deleted the video....

OK, so it is a joke.

Good, that video was painful to watch.

If this is true, then Sony are idiots. Especially since their customer support representatives told everyone who asked that the Tablet S1, model number SGPT111US/S, would receive JB in February of 2013...I don't understand the poor support for Sony tablets compared with the Xperia phones. It doesn't make sense.

Here is the email reply from Sony Support:
Thank you for your recent feedbacks. In response to your concern to have open source operating system on the Tablet so you can modify it, we regret to inform you that this is not possible to accomplish. While you might be able to handle and perform advanced tasks with Android operating system, other customers do not have the same technical knowledge you do have.

I know that was irrelevant to Jelly Bean BUT we are getting closer to rooting, bootloader unlock and more so we can get Jelly Bean.
I have replyed to the email.
I have mentioned about Jelly Bean in the reply before this reply from Sony Support.
