The official Android 4.0 ICS update for the Acer Iconia Tab A500 was supposed to be released on April 27th, as well as the update for the A100. You can use the link here to download something that you might really need, that is an application called Iconia Tab Update Enhancement.
It’ll be useful if you want to update the Iconia Tab A500/A501 and even if you don’t have the official update to ICS or received a notification for it, the app is vital. There’s also a video below detailing the prices. The app is supposed to check for updates and give you Android 4.0 as the upgrade you want. It’s pretty strange to have a special app for a mere Android update, don’t you think? We’ve seen models like the Motorola Xoom and the first ASUS Transformer Pad performing the update with ease, so what’s the point of this software?
The paranoid user in me thinks that there are some problems with regular ICS updates for the Acer slates, so that’s why they launched this app, to disguise the issues into a helpful app. Once again, this is my theory and the intention of Acer is excellent. Wish Samsung cared about its users as much…
