If you’ve been wondering when your Acer Iconia tablet would be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment, wonder no more. The company announced that the update to Android 4.0 is on the way--for the A-series tablets, anyway.
Specifically, it’s coming via an OTA update this week for the Iconia Tab A200 and sometime in April for the Iconia Tab A100 and Iconia Tab A500.
For the most part, the upgrade will offer about what you’d expect: faster browsing, tweaked interface, better Gmail integration, and so on, but the Iconia tablets will get some Acer-specific features, too, including the customizable Acer Ring navigation and the ability to access favorite apps even when the device is locked.
