I can't find it anywhere official. I did see where they compared the interface with honeycomb, but not where they said it was going to get updated at a later date.

Quite a few places, but lately you can find the CEO of the company talk about it on his blog HERE.

Funny that the first line in today's post says they're working on it.
Glad to see it! Now if they'll only take my money and ship me one

They have taken my money a month before and not shipping it yet to me though
Anyone with the preview SDK for honeycomb want to switch to the Adam's resolution and see if it stays in the tablet format or switched back to a more traditional format?
And so my friend

you are in the front of the line!
"Where does it say that Adam will have Honeycomb?"
If you are here looking for evidence of an official version of Honeycomb for the Adam, I believe you are shopping in the wrong store.

Huh?
I asked if it was getting Honeycomb, and it indeed is going to get updated to honeycomb. I'm not sure where you "quoted" that line from, but it's definitely not in this thread.
The "Where does it say that Adam will have Honeycomb?" quote is the title of this thread. The quote of TokyoDrift was post #4 in this thread... which quote are you referring to?

No, the title does not say that. Hence my confusion. If you have to misquote to insult someone, how is it an insult? It just makes you look stupid.
The title says "is getting" not "will have". "Will have" it implies that it comes with it, and I was asking if it was going to get it, as in a later date. To say I was "shopping in the wrong store" doesn't make any sense unless he thought I thought it was shipping with honeycomb and trying to poke fun.
Especially since several posts illustrate that the Adam will get an official honeycomb build, as stated by Notion Ink.

I was so happy that I finally got my 3.1 update last week for my iconia but 3.2 is ready to come out in a few days... Hopefully we will get this update sooner this time.

From what I read online 3.2 is suppose to be a version optimized for 7 inch tablets and the Icecream Sandwich 4.0 will be release in the 4th quarter of the the year for all tablets.
Nevermind... it will be ported for sure. Heheh
Based on Acers history, do you think there is much of a chance we will even officially see a android 4 (ICS) release for the A500?

Bet you fifty bucks we get it from the devs here LONG before we get it from Acer.
Google have said that ICS will be open-source, so that's the point where you'll start seeing some real innovation in tablet ROMs. At the moment the custom ROMs are nice, but it's largely tinkering around the edges + new kernels. ICS will change that.
So I wouldn't worry too much about Acer bringing it to the A500 - someone will, and it'll be better than Acer would have done it.
Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.
Besides, just wondering why are you posting XOOM news in Acer A500 forum ?

I thought this was the general section where you can post anything "general" that would have to do with the A500. I just think the OP was giving us a heads up on 3.2 is all.

Actually it is about development, whats the difference between this and other post in development just mentioning about 3.1. And I did not post it about the Xoom, I was just showing everyone that 3.2 can be expected in a few months, or years lol, for the iconia.

You get those types on any forums, not just this one. Support forums tend to be worse because there is a lot of the same questions being asked over and over and it tends to build up animosity and resentment among the people who've been around for a while. There is really nothing you can do except add a disclaimer with every post, explaining how you've exhausted every other option prior to posting. There will always be the crowd that feels posting on a support forum should be a last resort, to be used only after every other resource has been drawn upon. I've seen that iron-fisted approach turn some boards into vacant wastelands. In comparison, it's really not that bad here...for now.
Back on topic: I think the original poster was posting a seemingly Xoom topic on an A500 board because there a lot of A500 owners still wondering if they made the right purchase and look to compare the two. I speak as an A500 owner when I say that if a new patch comes out, and the Xoom gets it first, I damn well want to know about it.
Cheers,

This is good for Asus owners, wish we got the same treatment from Acer.
I hate the kind of post who claim having new info... and redirect to another brand stuff...
stop for sakes to post OTHERS tablet information... if someone got information related to ACER post it, else... I don't get the point.
If I want read ASUS information... I go to ASUS webboard.

Agree 100% with you. It has nothing to do with the Iconia and the title is misleading.

In direct violation of the TOS! HANG HIM!
I think he means the post from today:
Erneute Beschwichtigung von Acer zum Android 3.1 Update für das Iconia Tab A500
on the linked site, but he don't link directly to the right post. ^^
Why not linking directly?
But it's in German. So i think it is pretty useless for many people here...
This is great news for rooted acer owners. We will have a custom 3.2 ROM soon after the release.

It only says that there is no release date known yet, the update could be released every day or take even weeks. They apologize and so on ...
still not see the point... they speak about 3.1 so far, not really 3.2///
Okay.. so according to Acer Philippines they are expecting the release of the Acer Ice Cream Sandwich update by the end of this week, to be exact they are expecting the release of the update by Friday.
I asked them about the Acer a500 update and here is what they said:
"with regards to the ICS update, we are expecting it to be available by Friday, we're waiting updates from Google also. thanks"
Sorry for the picture though, I also inquired about my tablet charger replacement along with my question to them bout the ICS update.
They have no clue what they are saying. Also I cannot find your post on Acer Phillipines wall...?
Can even send u the permalink from the post.. was just unable to post outside links yet, this is my first post...

Thanks DemonGloom for posting the permalink, im unable to post links yet cuz I just registered in the forums earlier, just tryin to help out my fellow A500 users cuz i myself own an A500.
I asked Acer UK:
Thank you for contacting Acer UK. We apologies for the delay in responding to your e-mail.
We understand your concern.
We would like to inform you, as know there is no update for Android 4.0 for any models. So unfortunately we would not be able to provide an update for Android 4.0, as of know, but we might in future.

.... okay..but....
I'm as psyched as the everyone to see ics coming to our cherished a500...but... lets say it shoes up right now. will it be rootable right away? will it have anything beyond cosmetics that will make it worthy? is it going to outperform the tweaked out super tablet that has put my ipad pretty much out to pasture? yes..eventually it will but probably not right away. I think whether the a500 gets ice officially or through community efforts we can't forget that where it is right now is pretty darn good already.
couldnt agree more- The official update will just be full of bloat and poor coding. I'd rather have one I can use now and wait for Ics 4.2 when Google gets its act together. Doods are still working in c so getting rid of bugs takes time.

It was funny at first, but seems the lag from the Asus 300 getting a thread and the A510 folks is standing out, especially since the A510 was released first. I am surprised the A500 folks have not tried to evict us.
Added: For perspective, the gosh awful VS Gtablet got a thread. I still have my Gtablet... not sure if that is a good thing. I was not cold enough to try and sell it to somebody- not that cruel.
So what are you crying about, the A501 hasn't got its own forum either... We share too...

Bump for a great idea - separate section for A510
Yes... bumping in support
Sent from my A510 using Tapatalk 2
The most important discussions about a tablet occur when its first released. By the time there is an a510 forum, most of the relevant info will be burried on one insanely long thread under the wrong device as it is now, or located on another website altogether.
Personally, I think it should have been up and running on the day of release, if XDA really wants to be on the cutting edge. Otherwise it ceases to be a resource for early adopters, which I belive is a very large percentage of the XDA audience.
Of course, the sad truth may be that, tablets are not considered a priority here. Instead smart phones are given all the attention because they have the largest market share ie most users. Thats a judgement call as to where to put the most resources. Maybe we need two XDA websites: XDA Phone and XDA Tablet!
