and the saga continues. No new info. I think Acer just is teasing us like a beautiful sexy woman
ZOMG.....ICS on my Acer A500!!!!!
How's that Rom working out for you?
its running really well, most of the bugs are worked out only things that dont work are the camera and camcorder I really cant wait for that to get fixed!
well january has come and gone and no ics for a500. my money is on that it never will. just a lot of false hope put out by acer. bye bye acer I'm done with you.
Didn't you read the post right before this?! It's out and it's good (no cameras yet, but honestly who uses them on the tablets anyways). I guess if you expect your technology to be smarter than you, then please get an ipad and take your gloomy self to a genies bar to ask when the next version of ios is coming out.
But, if you like to tell your technology who's in charge, then flash a rom, get yo'self some ICS ans be HAPPY! (no really, ice cream can do that to a person)
Well in responce to your comments, they are kinda of fair but lets be honest and consider the alternatives. The only one that is out there is the iPAD which if you take it in a technical since, apple is the ONLY maker and when it comes to improvements from old device to the next new device, they are few and far between. Apple is the worlds only legal drug dealer and they do get you on the come back. They sell you a device which in some cases is adequate and or beats the users expectation. When a new device comes out you will see really nothing but small changes from device to device so in essence does it become worth it to go out and spend another 700 bux for a small update like siri that will probably be made available for older device after they reach the sale goals of the new one. Apple devices whether it be a PC or Tablet or iphone or ipod, all run the same OS, they just call it something different and make small user interface changes to think you have a shiny new device. All in all, they devices run 3 years behind everything else.
Just bare this in mind, everyone has their own opinion about things but to be properly informed we all need to consider the whole picture before making judgements... Just to be fair with ourselves.
I really don't understand the mentallity that because ICS has been released ANY vendor has to immediately update their hardware. I don't buy a product with the initial idea that the software will be updated as soon as its released. I buy an item because iI like how it works out of the box. If the vendor updates the software then that's a bonus. I have no issues with honeycomb and will be ok if ICS does not come to my A500. The iPad and iPhone are proprietary so apple is working on an update for their own product. Acer, Samsung, Motorola and every other company that uses Android software are working with third party software and must tweak it for their 2 to 5 uniquely individual models on the market and 2 or three models still yet to be released to make it their own. If your happiness is derived from having the latest software upgrade or the newest item, maybe your money should be spent on a shrink to figure out the real issue instead of the newest gadget. Just sayin'.
