It's for devs only as most things don't work, but you can see how the new elements are incorporated in SE's UI.

    I'm Neo user. I somehow think there's no much differences between this alpha ICS and Sony's 2.3.4 :(
    Here are my suggestion to Sony developer teams for the upcoming ICS features:

    - updated kernel to 3.0. why does sony still use old kernel 2.6? are they joking? Samsung's has already moved to 3.0. Sony doesn't make any senses to me.
    - face unlock feature for xperia series which have front camera
    - revamped themes. I still see gingerbread appearances on ICS Alpha version
    - status switch on notification bar
    - improved battery lifetime
    - mega bass feature on music player as old walkman phone W series

    it doesn't matter to me whether sony will launch the Final ICS on Feb or mar 2012, so long as we would get revamped themes and updated kernel to 3.0.

        Somehow I still rather the pure ICS experience on the Nexus than the skinned version of Sony's ICS. Oh and the 4.67 screen is really a looker on that Nexus.

                          [deleted post] se handset r far batter then any samsung n other brands,unique and best value for money. I used many handsets like galaxy s, ace , and now my frnd got galaxy s2 .but their is nothing unique-ness in all handset.

                          but now I m using xperia ray which is sleek, sexy , and small and perfect for daily uses with amazing battery backup . not like galaxy s which is big n boaring and I gott far batter result then galaxy s with my xperia ray.

                          now I m waiting for ICS for my x-ray :-)

                          after using ray I can proudly say "se is the best" :-D
