Though it was mentioned back in September, today, an official announcement from Sony Ericsson reveals that the awaited Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update is set to roll out to all countries. Along with that, a few bonus features are also set to arrive with the update.

Some of the key bonuses:
- Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras
- Updated Facebook inside Xperia functionality for enhanced like, share and discover abilities.
- Xperia smartphones introducing world’s first 3D Sweep Panorama functionality powered by Sony.
- 16x video zoom
- The software upgrade will enable consumers to turn their Xperia smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station. Connect the smartphone to a TV via HDMI to get a big screen experience.
- Gesture input - text input by swiping the finger from one letter to the next
- Wi- Fi DLNA
- Screen capture - allows the user to share a screen grab from anywhere in the phone.
