Sue, don't think it's quite as easy as that. Mind you, installing ROM's
isn't' that bad. Forgot to add that when doing this you will also need to
flash a separate boot.img that's specific to that ROM. That will be in the
.zip that is downloaded. Am using a ICS Rom that is also developed for the
Xperia Arc and I am able to use the Google.tts with it. .

Subject: Re: ICS on motorola droid 2
Oh mine that's a mouthful. Phil, I was just wondering if Sony can make the
ICS upgrade quite easily with PC companion, couldn't someone actually write
a windows based program using CM9 ROM or is it not as easy as what I thought
it to be?
