As part of its commitment to keep developers happy, Sony released an early alpha build of Jelly Bean update for the Xperia T. As you would imagine, this is only made to be used by serious developers who have a spare device to play with. If you agree to flash your Xperia T, Sony (or IntoMobile for that matter) will not be responsible if your smartphone ends up bricked. Moreover, don’t expect everything to work after the update process. In fact, when we look at the list, we conclude that most things are not working, including voice calls, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and so on. But wait, even if you agree to play with this alpha build, once Sony has the official update ready, you won’t be able to seamlessly update your Xperia T to the working version — rather, you’ll have to flash the previous build (Ice Cream Sandwich) before getting to Jelly Bean. Yup, you shouldn’t play with this, except if you’re 100% sure you know what you’re doing.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
