[Q] can I root AT&T Xperia x10 w/Eclair 2.1 to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x ? - General Questions and Answers

phone: Xperia X10 w/Eclair (firmware 2.1)
carrier: AT&T
desired OS: Ice Cream Sandwich
I want to root (? root or flash?) my phone so I am not stuck with Eclair (which AT&T refuses to update to anything newer).
Can I do this since Eclair is many many many versions ago?
Can someone give me a starting point or some pointers where to begin, i.e. once I ROOT and get my phone back up OK, can I then just upgrade from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread to Honeycomb to Ice Cream? or do I just go immediately from Eclair to Ice Cream?
Many thanks!

[APP][2.1][OPEN-SOURCE] Ice Cream Sandwich Calculator for Eclair - Gingerbread

After the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich source code developers and normal users rejoiced, with hopes that their device would soon run the new software or that their applications would become more feature-rich with new APIs. However, often overlooked are the details. For those still waiting for ICS on their device I've ported the latest iteration of the stock Calculator2 app to work on Android 2.1 Eclair up to 2.3 Gingerbread.
Check out the screen shots below or give it a try yourself, the APK is available here and the source code is freely available on GitHub.

Motorola to release IMG files for 4.04?

Just wondering if we can expect the image files for the Jelly Bean OTA from Motorola?
Android 4.0.4 isn't Jelly Bean, it's still Ice Cream Sandwich.
And Motorola has already released the factory images for the xoom (honeycomb) that automatically provides the option to safely accept the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA in most cases
