(Credit: Sony) One must wonder why Sony cannot get out of the habit of playing a fragmented and behind-the-curve Android release schedule for its devices. Finally putting speculation to rest, a Sony representative confirmed with Crave today (and subsequently on Twitter ) that Sony tablet owners in “all regions will have Android 4.0 by end of May.” And on a related note, a Sony Japan statement announced a May 24 drop date for Android 4.0 landing on both Tablet S and Tablet P devices specifically in that country, perhaps a timeframe we should expect elsewhere.

Second there’s the LTE compatibility, and third, and for some, most importantly, there’s the $49.99 price. The cameras and processor do a good job rounding out the midrange features, but there are a few ups and downs with the smartphone that you may want to keep in mind as you decide if this is one of the many Samsung Windows phones, or of AT&T’s Windows phones, that is for you.

While the “ac” designation definitely does not mean “air conditioning,” I can say for sure that 802.11ac is cool.
