Come one what is the benefit of Acer keeping the beast locked down.

Hell yes.
Here is hope that Acer realizes the sooner they provide the community with what it needs to use our devices to their full potential the sooner they will move more units!
As soon as I saw Samsung released the kernal source it really got me down that I bought the Acer 2 weeks ago. Really like this tablet but with the lack of Acer opening things up I think my tablet is craigslist bound.

this is so bad of acer
Too lazy to find the link but someone got a Tech Support response that the 3.0.1 kernel source would be out in the next week or 3. Hopefully 3.1 will follow more quickly.
Edit:
<attribute lazy=off>Here's the link, should be out today/tomorrow
If it doesn't come out today, I'll chase it up again in that same support task.
yesterday I ask acer indonesia about when 3.1 update and about unlock bootloader
and the answer is "this is acer global policy"

I was just thinking... could it be that Acer is nothing but a marketer? They bought the device from OEM manufacturer somewhere in China, label it with 'Acer' and 'Iconia A500' and sell it.
That's why they know nothing about 'unlock bootloader'. Release kernel? Dream on!
Well, hope I'm wrong
Almost electronics products are made in china on this days,and they are releasing 3.1,so i dont believe that
Even worse, Honeycomb 3.2 is coming out within a few weeks and will be pushing to the xoom and possibly HTC flyer devices.
Looks like we are getting behind here Acer..

That's what I've heard too. I think the Huawei is the only official announcement for 3.2 at this point, with the flyer being rumored to be waiting on 3.2 for the update. So we're still only 1 real update behind.

No.
One of the things 3.2 brings to the table is better support for 7" tablets (presumably 1024*600 resolution), but it also brings better hardware acceleration and bug fixes applicable to all Honeycomb tablets.

I would like to see a relevant and trustworthy source as well. Everything I've read says that 3.2 = 3.1 fixed for 7" screens and Adobe Flash 10.3 built in. I haven't seen where any additional features or fixes were announced.
Technically I don't see why they wouldn't fix whatever bugs are discovered in 3.1, BUT I'm guessing 3.1 is the final major release with 3.2 being a minor one and maybe 3.2.x being supplemental bug fixes until Ice Cream is announced and released.
Tomshardware has it. I cant post links yet due to post count.
Go to tomshardware and you will find it.
From Acer Malaysia Facebook page:
Dear Fans, due to some policy changes from Google where Acer has to comply, the A500 Honeycomb 3.2 OTA update will be postponed to 25th August, we apologize for the disappointments and upsets but we will be bringing the final and stable update to all of our A500 fans asap! Please be patient guys

Very interesting considering that Xoom and the Transformer are getting 3.2 updates already (and are continuing to get them). I do appreciate that Acer is at least updating us compared to our last udpate (3.1) which Acer did not give straight answers about. I'm not trying to start a controversy here but I wonder what's really going on with this update delay?
F-ing typical...
I'm guessing they're trying to Sync up all OTAs for every region. The 25th sounds reasonable for the 2 week delay; like how HC3.1 was initially released June 21, and when it finally hit all markets, July 4 here in the US.

We got our 3.2 update about 2 and a half weeks ago.It will be nice to see 3.2 update from acer finally,but it did'nt bring many changes to asus,except the ability to zoom in on non tablet campatible apps.It did'nt fix the internet problem or video.I also noticed it said milaysia,so it will be longer for us i guess.
Coming from an American Samsung phone, this seems like an early release rather than a delay

Can you output ton 1080p through HDMI out of your Eee Transformer? I'm hoping 3.2 for acer will let your output to 1080p, currently its only doing 720p.
Also your acer, did you happen to make a backup before all the custom roms? Like just after rooting and clockworkmod? -__- i'm in need to get a backup for a a500 USA a500. Super file manager deleted my whole micro SD card with my backup.

But what were the policy changes and was it really a change or a "hey you're ****ing up fix it before we yank the license" type thing? Given the similarity of the hardware, what was Acer doing differently than Asus or Motorola that they have to postpone the release? There are so many things I can think of that it makes my head spin.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Acer worse than I hate any other corporation(The FSF and similar entities being ones I'd actually trust). I just wonder is all.
did they say "final" ?

I used the same app that I used to root 3.0 to root 3.1.
Acer have a contract with Google to release the devices with Android.
so if Google change policies Acer have to follow that... and cannot violate the contract...
look far more than your devices please.
many things have to be taken in consideration.
so far I do not care anything about 3.2 ... what really that will give to me... nothing more, nothing much...
maybe the 4.0 will...
why people want more and more and more and more and more... and when they got what they want, they want more and more and more and more again...
Patience is mere virtue...

I'm perfectly content with 3.1. Some people just NEED to have the new because they feel it's their right. Be thankful that they are pushing to get 3.2 out as quick as they can.

Only if they can let us know earlier? Although I would like to get the update a.s.a.p, it's not that of a big deal for several days/weeks sooner or later, but have no where to know accurate info made me feel bad.
At least now I can quit checking for updates every five minutes.

Because its for Malaysian owners, Acer america doesn't post ****. They did however today say there is some new upcoming news to be announced in the next few days, but that could be anything... Acer really sucks with the social media era.

It would be great, if only ICS wasn't slated for Q4 to say the least, and you should add Acer adapting and testing time... And that's IF they will bother to release it at all.
Regarding ICS, I put more hope in the Community than in Acer.

Regardless of your changes Acer my tablet will still rule the masses compared to your stock firmware lol
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
I understand the GPS issue is more of an issue with 3.2 since this versions seems to be the same for a500 and a501. On a500 it was less of an issue since it is not planned to be used on moving around tablets whilst a501 is supporting 3G and hence GPS might be an issue. Since both tablets have nearly the same hardware it will be fixed all at once and has to be working, otherwise at least a501 customers might complain about it. So why not wait for another 10 days and it is done well.
You need to check your facts.....that was the old CEO/founder of Acer, as in not currently working for Acer who made those comments. Akin to Paul Allen saying something like he doesn't like Win 7 or something like that.

Officially it is true, so you will need a custom ROM for ICS on the a500/a501 as it stands today. I think I tried telling everyone that already, but just got flamed on the threads for saying it. But, that's not the point now.
Currently, let we only state what has been made public so nobody does the flaming again:
ACER has officially said that the only tablet that will be getting ICS currently sold with HC is their new a200/a700 models. ACER also stated they are scaling back the Engineering staff that currently works on the a100/a500 by 60-70%.
So read into it what you want. If you think this means 'currently' as of today doesn't mean that in the future they won't therefore this by no means closes the door on getting ICS via OTA then you can. You are free to believe what you would like.

Not worried
If not A500 then another of its peers will get ICS - Transformer anyone? Porting will be a breeze as the hardware on all current tablets are essentially the same
It just the waiting sucks :-D
Compared to HTC who has decided that gingerbread couldn't been properly installed on his HTC Desire neither, I undesrtand the decision of Acer.
This is business. Acer creates new models because the firm is in competition with the other manufacturers and, in order to sell their tablets, they must propose some new things on their new models.
Why to buy the A200, knowing that its hardware is very close to the A500's one? ... Because it runs under ICS when the A500 doesn't.
Since months, we can find dozens of custom roms on XDA running Gingerbread fine on the Desire. Even ICS has been ported successfully on the Desire.
So, I guess that everybody who wants ICS on his a500 will get it too in the near future.
sir you are 1 big troll
timmyDean You will always be a noob....
The rumors and news items that were spread seemed to be a scam... Acer clearly stated in front of the world (cnn I bellieve) that they are NOT cutting down on their tablets. Acer made it really clear that they will do a lot to bring acers tablets to the top of the market.
Stepping out of the tablet market would also be a much bigger mistake since the new version of windows (code-named windows 8) will be targeting tablet devices.
To clarify your topics regarding ICS needing higher end devices is a ****load of crap. The first target in the ICS development was to make a Honeycomb update that would be completely compiled, faster and more lightweight.
it actualy needs much lower specs to run than Honeycomb....
next on our list is the official mail you will get from Acer as fast as you ask them "are you planning on releasing android 4.0 on our devices?". In an e-mail to me they actually said that they were currently in contact with Google to test the new android 4.0 system on Acer Iconia a500 tablets.
If you are planning on spreading more rumors regarding devices or whatever. add the sources where you actually got this information to it.
Otherwise get out from xda or any other forum for that matter and trow your tablet away if you are so unhappy with it.
My Iconia Tab is fantastic, and knowing that the new release won't add much new to android 2.3.1 I can life another few days without the pressing need to root the device and pirate android 4.0 to it.
please know that ICS is just a compiled (little bit faster) version of android with a few new functions (including an easy to hack face recognition system).
So Timmy: Stop Trolling or bring that behaviour to the forums and message boards that actually allow that.

For you to claim I do not know what I'm taking about is just wrong and I never said anything about ACER getting out of the tablet business. If you'd read, you see that I stated we cut support by half on all twlighted hardware which the a500 is part of. So, instead of listening to actual truth, based on actual information from ACER you can believe what you would like.

Since when does "currently" not mean current? Of course I would believe ICS is not currently available on the A500, ifthat is what they said. It is believable because we don't have it now. To extrapolate that to mean it will never be available from Acer, is quite a leap. Samsung Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are the only Samsung phones currently available with ICS, does that mean that there are no former or future Samsung phones that will have ICS? Use your head...

I saw that as well. That literally sucks.
That bites as there's no reason not to. I had the choice of the A500 or the A501 and thought I'd like the option of using my tablet ANYWHERE, not just near wifi access points.... They're not that easy to find in rural Australia that are free to use...
Seeing as how the A500 is getting an upgrade I don't understand why Acer are being such dicks about getting the A501 users the update too, surely the kernel isn't that much different.... This is a good way to loose customer support, and I do have a lot of people who ask which new phone or tablet to get... This makes Acer look bad because I say its bad and my many friends (who have NO idea about a lot of technology) then parrot this to others. Its called word of mouth, it can make or break a product....
Something for Acer, and all other manufacturers, to think about.

1) & 2) doesn't seem that old to me...
3) There is no EU listed because it is on the Americas website...
4) Again, that is in the EU, not in the Americas...
5) Acer America is probably just being lazy, but it is an officially posted update...
