Sony on Sunday confirmed to CNet that the entire line of Sony tablet devices in all regions will receive an over-the-air update which brings with it Android 4.0. The company says the new updates will be made available via over-the-air updates.


Sony had previously announced its plans to offer the Google Android 4.0 update but did not provide a timeline for those updates until Sunday afternoon.
Some Sony Tablets have already received the upgrade including the Sony Tablet S in the United States, however other tablets, specifically those located in Europe and Japan have been left with the older and less stable Google Android 3.2.1 system.



Some of the top updates for Google Android 4.0 include a panoramic camera mode, an updated gallery viewer with SD card access and browser enhancements among other bug fixes, security updates and other new features that users have generally found worth the update.


Google and Sony are hoping that the international roll-out for Google Android 4.0 will appease customers who have long complained that the fragmentation of Google Android has let to varying regional timetables for new product releases while other devices have skipped over Google Android upgrades all together. Apple in comparison is able to update any devices they choose at the same time, allowing iOS to more easily be adapted as upgrades become available on a worldwide basis. Apple up until this point has included all iPad versions in their upgrades including the original and now outdated iPad.
The exact updates for each tablet region are not known, Sony however will send a message to each users device when the time for an upgrade has arrived.


By now we all know not to post sensitive information on social networking sites. Even with privacy settings enabled, that angry political rant or embarrassing beach photo can easily become the next viral Internet sensation. By comparison, email seems like a much safer communications medium, but you can still get into trouble if you lose control of your account. In addition, email messages bounce unprotected from server to server, so private information might be compromised. Here are six tips to protect your email account and your private messages.
1. Use a Strong Password. You give out your email address all the time; it's not really private information. That being the case, the only thing protecting your account from misuse is the password. A malefactor who guesses your too-weak password gains full control of your email account. Protect your account with a strong password, especially if you use a Web-based email provider like Gmail or Yahoo mail.
2. Beware Public PCs. If you check your email on a public computer in a library or Internet cafĂ©, be absolutely sure you've logged out before leaving. Even then, you might be leaving behind traces that could give the next user too much information about you. Follow PCMag's advice toUse Public Computers Safely.
3. Protect Your Address. It's true that you give out your email address every time you send a message, but there's no need to give it to the whole world. Don't include your email address in comments on blog posts, or in social media posts. Spammers and scammers scrape pages all the time looking for new victims.
4. Lock It Up. If you step away from your desk, lock the Windows desktop or close your email client. Otherwise a sneaky co-worker could read your mail or even reset your login password. Hold the Windows key and press L to lock the desktop instantly.
5. Don't Be Fooled. Oh, dear. Your email provider has sent you notification of a security breach, with a link to reset your password. Don't click that link! It's almost certainly a fraud, designed to steal your email account password. If you have any doubts, navigate to the email provider's site directly and double-check.
6. Use Encryption. Sometimes you just have to send sensitive information by email. To keep your data safe, save it as a document and use your word processing application's built-in encryption, or store the document in an encrypted ZIP file. Then share the password with the recipient separately. If you need encryption frequently, try a free email encryption product like PrivateSky or Enlocked.
