So, can we expect a Z2 Ultra around about the end of June? Slimmer, faster and lighter?
Will there be the possibility of a led flash this time around?

I do not remember who talked and argued about new versions of walkman and video app, similar to the What's New style...
But well... Here it comes...

How does it look/feel?
I always liked the sony APPS... especially walkman, so how does this update of the video app look?

Looks nice, can pinch in and out now like on Albums. There's also a preview of the video you last played on top, dunno if it was there before since I don't use it often. Still can't play my .mkv videos though, not sure if its my phone or Movies, so I guess I still won't be using it. Uninstalled Video Unlimited, requires account manager from Sony which is not available in my country. Can't do anything about that.

The apps update on my phone, but video unlimited is not available in poland sadly. But on a brighter note, playstation mobile will finally be available in Poland in late June this year, so yay.

I strongly doubt Sony is running after sales for wp8. They are going there because Google is becoming more and more closed with Android. Manufacturers are preparing, just in case...
Not to start a big digression, but not only do I disagree that Google is "closing" Android" off, but I also contend that you've got it backwards. It's GOOGLE who is preparing, just in case--just in case manufacturers (mainly Samsung, of course) try to fork Android and cut users off from Google's ecosystem. Remember, they make their money when people use their services. Hardware manufacturers will always have some OS to use, but if Samsung were to fork Android, without plugging into Google Play Services, providing their own app store, etc., and use it on their next Galaxy S and Note phones...remember, Samsung has about 63% market share among Android manufacturers. That's a HUGE number of users who could be taken away from Google virtually overnight by Samsung.
Of course they are. The more control they have the better for them..
Google is first and foremost and advertising company. 90% + of their revenue stream comes from advertising.. take a look

That's why a lot of their services are "free" .. they subside most of their software development with money generated from advertising. Its a very elegant model.
All android is really is a ad distributing platform using their services.
They can't let other companies have control over that.. replacing their services with other ones like Amazon (kindle) and Nokia (X,XL) have done is the last thing they want, but they also know that there are a handful of companies that have the infrastructure to even attempt such a thing.

The OEMs, such as Sony, are getting the short end of the stick.. most of the money from android goes to.. yes, you guessed it.. Google. That's why Samsung are investing into Tizen ...
I am not saying that Microsoft's solution is any better. It will probably be based on the same solution since they made it free.. but there is no other way to compete with G.

unfortunately, sony doesn't seem to be growing its PS OS for mobile, so sony will have to take it or die.

Were they even developing an OS in the first place?

Content is key and Sony only need to figure it out how to distribute their media & entertainment strength into Android platform, but they never made it happen due to very decentralized in upper management.
