Facebook is going through some much needed changes lately and today’s update should make your timeline look a little prettier. At some point today you will start to notice that the pictures in your timeline appear bigger, because they are (or will be). Timeline pictures will now be up to three times larger than before and instead of thumbnails that you need to tap in order to view the image, the pictures will now almost stretch from “edge to edge” of your device’s screen. Not only will the Android app be graced with this update, the mobile website version is due for the change-up as well. Those of you who are frequent Facebookers may recognize this upgrade as it is something they changed on the desktop version of the app a while back.

To reap these photo benefits there is no need to update your Facebook app through the Google Play Store. This update will take place on the server side of things so you should eventually notice the change once the Facebook team flips the proverbial “update switch.” I would tell you that I will monitor the app to let you now when the update is in place, but I recently switched over to Fast for Facebook for the little Facebooking that I do. So if you guys happen to notice the update, be a pal and let us know in the comments section below. Thanks!

Sony’s Xperia S has been an awesome phone except for well, its lack of Ice Cream Sandwich. While it’s questionable to launch a device of that nature with Gingerbread 2.3 in a world of Android 4.0, Sony has taken the time to finally give us what we have been waiting for— a concrete date for when the Android 4.0 update will arrive on the smartphone. The update is very much real and on its way as it is all set to arrive by late May or early June at the latest.

Keep in mind while the approximate release date of the update is set, the actual push of the updates will vary among the variations of the device. It’s expected the first to receive the update will be the unlocked or unbranded versions which will roll out in phases. The carrier-branded versions will follow suit but as you know unfortunately— it’s up carriers to decide if or when the devices can get the update. Here’s hoping we see the update sooner than later, especially for those of us planning on buying that Xperia Ion.
