I will be cynical and say no. Sony released these phones with 2.3 so that they can easily upgrade you to ICS and then say "hey we have already provided you with one upgrade, as per Android manufacturer's standards we will only be providing one delayed update". If the phone had shipped with ICS (which it should have) then they would be obliged to update you to 4.1.

Oh Please !
Unknown13x already mentioned Xperia S will get the JB update. So stop whining all!

Well I only have an Xperia P so maybe I will not be as lucky (still waiting for ICS). Either way I wouldn't count on anything until you actually get an update notification. Having been an owner of a few HTC Android and Nokia Lumia devices you learn to only believe what you see and not what you read on forums (or even from official company press releases).

4.1 isn't as big of a jump as 2.3, so I have my fingers crossed.

P may be getting JB too. We will need to wait for unknown13x to comment on it though.

Or maybe it's like the X10: we get every second update. X10 started with 1.6, skipped 2.0, updated to 2.1, skipped 2.2, updated to 2.3.. So in our case with the xperia S: 2.3 + delayed but promised 4.0, skipping 4.1, updating to 4.2 (!?)^^

as I read JB should work like IOS ! smooth as butter ! Hope we will recive it sometimes(faster)

we will get it end of Q2 next year i bet :P haha

We're definitely getting all 4.x branch minor releases. It's coming when it's done, they should be able to do it earlier now that the PDK is out and it's a minor release so not many low level changes should be needed. I'm hoping we get kernel sources before AOSP drops so we should, hopefully, be all set to compile it the day it's out and move on to merging it with existing custom code bases such as AOKP and CM.

Ok, seems like these devices are getting it: S, P, AcroHD, SX and GX almost 100%, sola, U and go quite likely, ArcS might get it later but that's all speculation.
