The Xperia S will include support for near-field communications and ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich promised for the second quarter of the year. It will come in black and white, and will be available in select markets by the end of the first quarter.

Too bad it didn't lose the "Xperia" name too

Memo to Sony, and the less-than-intelligent executives who run it:

"Xperia" has no brand equity. It is a worthless moniker. It has been attached to three generations of pure crap. Please stop attaching it to all of your also-ran products.
