Read for yourself in German .........
http://traceable.de/category/allgemein

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.

I don't know why he didn't link directly but i cant post links until i have written 8 comments. ^^
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///

A100 seems to get cancelled

Is you're also waiting for a100 - look here: http://www.tabletowo.pl/2011/05/17/exclusive-acer-iconia-tab-a100-wycofany-z-produkcji/ (english ver. below).
I think it would be best not to post non a500 staff in here. For a moment I thought you were refering to the A 500.

If I recall correctly, when this forum was setup, the mods said it would be home to both the A100 and A500.
Back to the OP though, apparently it is delayed, not cancelled. Shame, becayse I was looking forward to pocketable honeycomb!

Honey Comb 3.2 coming to Xoom in a few days?

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.

thanks for your post, now there is hope for all the bugs in 3.1 to go away. The wifi issue is not a small one.

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,

You're right. Very old news, but thanks for posting and not using the search function.
Actually, I did / always do a search...
..and when I posted the new topic, it ALSO does a search for you to list similar topics but nothing came up there either...SO...
Erring on the side of wanting to help I posted anyway...
Sorry to have taken up so much of your precious time and I promise to do my best not to help as much as possible again...

I guess "help" is a relative word then. Clogging up forums with topics that have already been posted time, and time again is not "help" as fast as most people are concerned.
When searching remember that there are more than one sub-forums for the A500 that you can search at the same time.

Meh, just blow it off. If you think this section is bad, be glad that you didn't post something in the Moto Atrix forum. It's even worse over there.
Seems like this site gets more and more full of users on one month old accounts with 1000 posts posting non-helpful replies. Who gives a **** if it was already posted? Why didn't you just stay out of the thread since you already knew this?
Letting it go...
yup...yes I am...No worries. If I didn't want to get verbally assaulted every once in a blue moon, I wouldn't post
...but on the off chance someone didn't see it and it could help...I'll take the chance Every Time...and even when I do know how to search and use search quite a lot, Every Once in a while search does not turn up the exact phrase or wording or whatever. Sooo...
ANYWAY...
Letting go while knowing that 99.9999 percent of the people here Really Do want to help...
At least I'm not asking about root for 3.2 right?

Acer A500 ICS Update available by the end of the month according to ACER PHILIPPINES

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.
