In case you hadn’t heard, Sony is in plans to acquire Sony Ericsson in hopes of creating a better more connected ecosystem for their products. Three months ago Sony paid €1.05 billion for Ericsson’s share of the partnership and we’re just witnessing the steps that Sony must forego before the acquisition can be complete.

As if ASUS didn’t have enough problems with the whole GPS debacle on the Transformer Prime, it turns out a number of users have been complaining of random “lockups” ever since upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich.
