ICS Update new features....

[mpattenden]

All,

I've been looking for upgrade info and what will actually be in the upgrade when we receive it. I haven't seen anything posted so here is what I've found I hope it helps for those who are interested.

The update brings several new features to the 9.4-inch slate:

• Enhanced lock screen
  • Direct access to Notifications
  • Unlock direct to camera
• New panoramic camera mode
• Enhanced Gallery media viewer
  • Direct SD card access + photo editing tools
• Exclusive “Small Apps’ for multi-tasking
  • Calculator, Browser, Remote Control
  • Move to screen edge for reduced clutter
• New Home Screen actions
  • Drag icons together to create folders
  • Add names to folders
• Enhanced web browser
  • Switch from mobile to desktop web sites
  • Save pages for offline viewing
• Access files directly from SD card
• Native screenshot capture
  • Press “power” and “Volume –“

Regards

Nice to know that some of new features reported from Sony Japans press release back in march were quite accurate..

Hi all,
noticed a few reports on the net that Sony Japan have announced that they plan to release ICS v4.0.3 in late April..
Although not able to confirm that these reported new features will be included in the ICS release or wether they will make there way to the European version, some of the new features mentioned include..
Access to the Camera via the lock screen..
Ability to take panoramic photo's..
Option to edit photo's within the Gallery..
A downloadable “Recopla” app to view programs recorded from compatible Sony Blu-Rays players..
An addition of 'Small Apps' which seems to allow user to open a small browser, calculator, remote control window..
If you want to read about Sony ICS rumoured improvements yourself then do a search for Sony Tablet ICS..

Looking forward to trying out the new features once ICS is available for the Tablet in Europe..
