At about 10 days, BOOM, there it is, the update showed up. Contact them, they just repeat the instructions. says to run the manual update, it will find it, download, etc. which on the box, says FREE UPDATE TO ICS. works fine on an android phone, but will not worth either way, on either an acer tablet, or a samsung (tested my acer, and a friends samsung tab). They are designed for phone only and not tablet. There are many apps, that while the store SAYS they will work on a tablet, they DONT. Your app issue, it likely a TABLET issue overall, rather than a samsung vs Acer. unless it was pulled. You have tried a manual update of it? There are many people still waiting on samsung and other android phone updates as well (though many are comming out around now).Īccording to this site, rogers has released it. But since this is a wireless based tablet, its up to the CARRIER to push the update (in this case rogers). I would not put the blame on Acer.Īcer may release that the OS update is available. Already feelin' let down at the way developers are showing their support creating a subpar equal of its Samsung android apps.let's face it, I have some real good apps on my Galaxy S2 LTE that I just could not get for my Acer A501 tab.already thinking of selling it for a new 10.1' Galaxy Tab 2.maybe I'd even skip the ICS and get the Jellybean upgrade straight up.now there's a thought worth contemplating!!

I share your pain DeanoD, but know this.this will be my first and last Acer product! I am really disappointed that the 4th largest PC maker in the world would put out a very promising competitive tablet only to be negligible of its own support for the Android technology. But Acer, and Rogers are apparently still in the dark.Are we asking too much for the upgrade that was promised when we bought these tablets? I know how many Acer products this has made me want to buy. Someone even posted a screen shot of their settings on an a501 WITH the upgraded Android system in place. I have seen several reports of people getting the update in Australia and Canada as well. It seems that neither Acer nor their employees have a CLUE about what is going on.

I JUST got a 'canned' response from Acer on this as well.
