will i have to pay for ics?

[jakkebrown]

I don't know what you guys know allready but google have declared that we are going to have to pay for and add free ics from update 4.04. And the add version, of course, will have access to all ur private info and google will sell that info to other companys. The add free version will cost $49.99 a year! You will get $25 in google play credit though. My question is will it affect my ice cream sandwich that I have been waiting months for? I do know that the ics beta released this week for the xperia play is 4.03. Anyone have any info for me?
Thanks in advance

W.T.F.?
I'm pretty sure you're wrong, because of the nature of the is, you cannot release an "ad" version and not have it hacked & fixed within days.

Yeah, where's your source for this. I've been off the internet for two days but I would have heard about this? Wait a minute, it's April 1st......

on a somewhat related note, I did read somewhere a few weeks ago that the Xperia Play wasn't on Verizon's list for getting ICS. Anyone know i this is true?

Please provide your source of this information as I am not aware of any such thing and find it very unlikely.
