Xperia Tablet S gets new ‘release6a’ firmware; fixes VPN issue

Sony has released a new firmware update for the Xperia Tablet S tablet. The ‘release6a’ firmware is a minor update, clocking in at 17MB and fixes a VPN connection error. The Android firmware version remains at Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and Kernel version 2.6. It’s probably not worth updating for most, but if you’ve had VPN issues then this will be right up your street.

Thanks Ali!
