Sony Tablet P getting Android 4.0 next week

Two months ago, Sony promised to update their dual-screen Tablet P to Android 4.0 and the company has finally delivered.
The Tablet P will get the upgrade on May 24th.

Although Sony made the press release in Japanese, it is expected to be a global rollout.

Running on Android 3.2, the device has dual 5.5-inch displays with 1024x480 resolution each, a 1GHz Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, dual cameras 0.3/5MP and just 4GB internal storage. The tablet does have 4G HSPA+ capability, as well.

If you do not care for Sony's version of 4.0, you can root the device using these instructions: Sony Tablet P already rooted
