Acer Iconia Tab A500's Android 4.0 update shows early

Posted on Apr 26, 2012 by MG3

Android 4.0 has arrived just a couple of days earlier than previously billed for Acer's Iconia Tab A500, according to reports from Android Central. The OS update had been scheduled to arrive April 27.
Acer has been rolling out the OS update for its Iconia line of tablets since February, with the Iconia Tab A200 first in line. That update fixed a number of bugs in the A200's operation, improving browser responsiveness and microphone functioning, along with the features Android 4.0 itself brings.

Acer A100 and A500 may get ICS in January 2012

Acer A100 and A500 may get ICS in January 2012

Posted on Oct 25, 2011 by MG1

The new hotness these days is in manufacturers confirming that their Honeycomb tablets will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment, and get it fast. Word has it that the Motorola XOOM will get the Android 4.0 update, and it looks like the Acer ICONIA TAB A100 and A500 will be getting the update in very early 2012.
Apparently, word leaked from Acer Poland that the ICONIA TAB A100/101 and A500/501 would not be getting the update this year, but users should expect the ICS treatment in mid-January 2012. This seems to match up with a lot of the other update announcements that we've heard from other companies, so although there has been no official announcement, there is also no reason to be...

Acer Iconia Tab A500 receiving its portion of Android 3.1 Honeycomb

Acer Iconia Tab A500 receiving its portion of Android 3.1 Honeycomb

Posted on Jul 07, 2011 by MG1

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 has started receiving its portion of the Android 3.1 Honeycomb OTA update July 5th, judging from an Acer Germany Facebook page posting. We heard about this update back in May, although the promise was for the first weeks of June; still, beginning of July is not too shabby either.
The Acer Iconia Tab A500 is a 10" Honeycomb slate with nice aluminum back cover and all the bells and whistles one would expect from a self-respecting Android tablet.
At last check it also comes cheaper than most Android tablet offerings, selling for around $450 at places like Best Buy or Amazon, so whoever is the lucky owner of the Iconia Tab A500, the thought that the Android 3.1 Honeycom...

16GB Acer Iconia Tab A500 available in the UK for 349.99 GBP

16GB Acer Iconia Tab A500 available in the UK for 349.99 GBP

Posted on Jul 04, 2011 by MG1

Acer launched a new version of its 10-inch tablet, Iconia Tab A500, in the UK. Unlike the original model which comes with 32GB of built-in storage, this one rocks “only” 16 gigs. The good news is that the amount of memory is directly proportional to the price of the device and in that sense this version costs 100 GBP less — 349.99 GBP, to be more precise. That’s 50 GBP less than what Apple is asking for the cheapest model of iPad 2 in the UK.
Other than the amount of storage capacity, there are no other differences between this and the original Iconia Tab A500. Both devices run Android Honeycomb, while featuring such specs as dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 10.1-inch 1280×800 capaci...

Acer Iconia Tab A500 gets the snip down to 16GB

Acer Iconia Tab A500 gets the snip down to 16GB

Posted on Jun 29, 2011 by MG1

Acer has unveiled a new version of its Iconia Tab A500, coming with 16GB of internal storage as opposed to the original model's 32GB.
It also comes with a shiny new price tag, available for £350 – that's undercutting the 16GB iPad 2 by £50.
The Iconia Tab A500 is an Android Honeycomb tablet, and the new iteration still comes with a 10.1-inch display, 1080p output, HDMI port and aluminium casing.
Bulky bear
With a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, it should still provide the solid 3.5 star performance that we evaluated on the 32GB model in our official TechRadar review.
Sadly, the tablet's bulky design, which we weren't very impressed with, will also be present and correct in the memory-lig...

Acer's Android 3.1 (codenamed Honeycomb) update for its Iconia Tab A500 tablet has leaked out.
