Sony Xperia Jelly Bean updates not before 2013

So its been a while since Xperia owners have been wondering if they'll get the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update or not about which Sony has been keeping quiet.
Good news is that updates will roll out for some phones but the bad news is Jelly Bean won’t be updated until early next year for Sony.

There has been a buzz or we can say that we know that Sony Xperia T and the upcoming Xperia V will be the first Xperia devices to receive Jelly Bean, along with the Xperia TX but these updates are not planned until 2013.

Few phones confirmed to receive the jelly bean update(no confirmed dates) are Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia Ion, Xperia P, Xperia Go and finally Xperia J.

News sourced from Sony Mobile does'nt get any better as the owners of Sony Xperia 2011 phones will not receive Jelly Bean update and will stay on Android ICS only.
Phones that won't be receiving the updates include  Xperia Arc, Neo series and Play.

This is very frustrating specially for Xperia 2011 owners as well as for people who recently purchased Xperia T or TX as they won't be receiving any updated before mid of 2013.

We'd welcome your thoughts on this if you are still stuck on ICS and let down by SONY.
