Xperia Play and arc getting updated to Android 2.3.3



 Software updates have is a hot topic for carriers and manufacturers, but the Sony Ericsson is not taking any risks about getting updated and is starting to roll out updates to Android 2.3.3 for its gaming-centred Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY and design-conscious Xperia arc. The updates are to first launch in the UK next week, but we expect to see other markets getting them not long after. 

 Also in tow for a deeper Facebook integration, or “Facebook inside in Xperia” in SE’s terms, a feature announced with the launch of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini and Mini Pro. This will bring the possibility to link music playing on your handset directly to your Facebook feed. Finally, Facebook contacts information will also get intertwined with your phone contacts and you’ll be able to keep track of all their recent status updates, interests and so on.

 Android 2.3.3 does not bring any revolutionary features, but rather mildly improves on the Gingerbread experience and fixes some security holes. The new features are also expected to land later on the rest of SE’s lineup including the Xperia neo, Mini and Mini Pro.
