Hi there, just been reading about this after I found it on a gadget website this morning . hopefully it'll ship to tablets soon..... or if the devs in here, mdj and dexter are feeling generous they may buy one of the new tablets and port it over perhaps??

quick quote if you aren't allowed external site access and youre reading from your xda app.
"Yesterday we saw the launch of the world’s first Android 3.2 tablet, Huawei’s MediaPad. However, it seems it won’t be long until we see more tablets running 3.2, as the build is set for release this summer.
Android 3.2 doesn’t offer much in the way of features. This is my next reports that it does contain some bug fixes and improved hardware acceleration, but the biggest thing is that it will bring support for Qualcomm processors as well as Nvidia’s popular Tegra 2 chipset.
The Motorola Xoom will reportedly get Android 3.2 in the next few weeks, but Qualcomm support could mean that current 7-inchers (like the HTC Flyer) may also get the update. Fingers crossed!"
So seeing as the Xoom is getting it in the next few weeks, lets give support to our devs and maybe the A500 may get it also.
HC 3.2 is just 3.1 optimised for 7" tablets. Of no real relevance to Acer Iconia A500 users. It really should have been called 3.11 but then that might have recalled some scary memories for seasoned Windows users.

Yeah, trying to get a Windows 3.11 PC connected to a novell netware network using thinnet cable, made even Linux administration seem easy.

I got nostalgic for my first Windows PC, so I'm running my old "friend" Windows 3.11 on my Iconia using DOSbox.
In relevance to the thread though:
"Tech site This Is My Next, however, reports that Android 3.2 Honeycomb will be the last in the Android 3.x series and that it has several new features:
- optimized for 7-inch devices,
- expands support for more mobile processors such as NVIDIA Tegra 2 and Qualcomm’s processors,
- fixes some bugs and improves hardware acceleration, and
- provides updates to widgets and apps (e.g., Movies, Movie Studio, Music, etc.)."

Hi,i wonder how can I use the A-GPS built-in Iconia Tab W500.Is there some software?Or the software comes with the Windows 7?
This forum is for ACER Iconia TAB A500! Not W500
I know but my previous thread about W500 was moved here.
(PS:I am from Bulgaria ,too )
Download google earth that might work

Hey guys,
I just found out that Acer released Honeycomb 3.1 for their Iconia A500 -> Link
Since the Acer tablet is also Tegra 2 based can we get anything useful from this rom?
I believe vegacomb uses the Asus EEE Pad as base.

This article was wriiten about the new Asus win 7 tablet, but half way through they start comparing it with it's Android cousins. I found it interesting they they didn't include the Asus TF, and how well it stacked up against the ipad2, xoom, and the others.
Again you have to get about half way through the article to see how the A500 stacks up, but it does fairly well!
