htf can Google promise anything for a Acer product? I doubt that source has anything to do with acer product range or releases..
You need to get the releases from Acer and for iconia a500 specifically.. What Google does only relate to a possible release of the source code to the 3.1, not what 3rd parties choose to do.

Website says june

Website? Please post a link.
As for Google, most tech sites Google lists still claim the Asus Transformer will get it's 3.1 update in June. Yet it showed up the last day of May for me.

Where do you guys check for updates schedule??...how do you guys know its in june??

I want those Google leaks as well..

Better than never, as long as it's bug free ; )

Am I the only one who noticed his post said Acer Thailand? I don't think Thailand ranks very high on most developer's list of places to localize first and foremost given their relative position economy wise in the world and their language not being spoken the world over. I'm not saying the US, Europe and other places won't have to wait until July, but we might not have to either.

Yeah! May be upon us, is uncertainty i'm not sold yet.
That's amazing, they're getting updates from a server that's supposedly offline.
The nexus one truly is revolutionary.
Just a thought but if the servers are offline checkin wouldn't work right?

They're either facepalming or laughing their ass off.... Or just working on Gingerbread like good engineers.
That article is nothing to get excited about. We do not have a confirmed N1 on 2.1 update. When i see that I'll believe it.
The idea is that we need to have 2 things to have it official:
1. One google employee stating the roll out has began.
2. A 2.1 N1 gets the update.
Till then, fry your brains with articles like these.
What is the build for this one?

Praise be, but what is their source...? Guess I'll search and hopefully find soon, because if it doesn't come from an official Sprint channel, I regard it as pretty much BS. Thanks for posting though.
Yay maybe this time the release date is real
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Citation Needed lol.
I hope it is true, but with the comment about the tablet being announced, this makes it look like someone is speculating and rolling the dice. (How many times have we heard "I have an inside source, it is DEFINITELY this <significant date>" ?) If you throw turds at the wall, sooner or later one will stick.
I hope it is true though, and it does make sense to do it during the big hoopla
I didn't even crack a smile reading that article....this damn Epic had the most hype I've ever seen for a phone....and now we get the least respect with this late ass Froyo release...lol, I'm just waiting for the source code to see what our great developers can cook up for us!
That's if this release date is actually lidgit...
Well that would be awesome if its true. 2 weeks inbetween the official and the source being released means that I would get to use the official rom for around 2-3 weeks before meaningful roms are released with new and exciting features.
There is nothing on Google News. Nothing on Sprint's Twitter feed. "Don't youuuuu beelieeeeeeve iiiiit...."
Next time I search before even opening a topic like this.
Yeah right.

GooD News For the GS2 Owners

Hii All Folks KaFrEEkAbOom Here
As the title Says I have a Very Good News for all the GS2 owners who are waiting for the Official ICS update
"confirmed now. Samsung Galaxy S2 Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich update is finally coming on March 1"
The news was revealed by tech insider Eldar Murtazin in his tweet. He recently wrote that March 1st would be the date when the smartphone would receive the OS update. This is about a month prior to the old expected date of update.
http://http://twitter.com/#!/eldarmurtazin (This is Eldars' Tweet Address So you can See his news)
As the Eldar Says "Android 4 aka ics for sgs2 is going to be officially offered by March 1(depends from county/operator)"
Eldar, who has gained notoriety for his opinionated posts and up-to-date tech rumors So i Hope This Would be Helpful for You'll

The reason is there isnt lot of ICS devices
Only the Galaxy nexus , So devs' aren't looking forward to develop apps for it
When the High End devices have ICS update THere will be Tons of ICS compatible apps

If by incompatible you mean they are not working, that's not true. I think the only one I found not working is Viber. Although I haven't searched that much.

I searched several threads to find i am repeating a post
And none of them had Confirmed Date
So that means.. Just 9 days left
Sent from my GT-I9100
I don't think it'll release on March 1. The way the betas are going. It might be mid March or so.
If it is true, 10 days left for me. BTW this like the 756th thread on this news...
About the app it's silly, all new-updated app makes update available for ICS 4.0, due to regulations for customers that bought already app.
And, as far as i know, 1 march =100% fully working stock rom with ICS, Samsung have been given before beta's already, now is the time for Sgs2 ICS
Great news if it does nothing else than speed up a full CM9 release

ICS OTA Stopped?

Hi,could someone confirm if Acer have decided to pull back the OTA update for is cos my device keeps telling me it's up to date. I'm in the UK,on stock 3.2.1 and never been rooted. This is beginning to look ridiculous now.

Hi,
you're not alone here; Still on 3.2.1, and still waiting...
I reinstalled the acer update app nearly every day... without succes.
Picmania delivered me a UK model to Belgium... and my friends with belgian a500's have had their update last weekend... frustrating!!!
c'mon acer... speed up the distro of ICS

Me too.
Wonder what the common denominator is for those of us who have yet to receive the OTA update?
Same here. I bought my A500 in France a year ago.
I sent Acer UK an email yesterday about the ICS update issue and something the Rep mentioned in his reply baffled me. He said he could see I was out of warranty. Could that be a factor in getting an update? Cos if that's the case,then, I'll forget about buying devices off Acer. He also mentioned that I should get the latest Acer update Enhancement software and do an update check after. That process had been done over and over and still no luck. I'm fed up right now. Not even checking anymore
The reply to my email:

I find it really odd Google made a point of saying the ota was coming mid-july then released it the day they announced it. I mean I believe its happening it just seems weird, saying that it was out TODAY!!1!1! Would've stolen the news day on every tech site and been free advertising.

It's only released to the people that went to the I/O and received the Nexus. It's not released to the general public yet.

That makes a little more sense, I still think it would've been good publicity to make that known with the official announcement, seems like something apple would do (in a good hype-building way).
They said in the keynote that this exactly what would happen.
You will receive a free galaxy nexus....minutes after booting it up you will receive a ota update to 4.1 preview.....
