Iconia tablets to get Android 4.0 in April Acer has announced today that two more of its Iconia tablets will receive the Android 4.0 ice Cream Sandwich update this year.
The Iconia Tab A200 just received the update last week and now the company says their A100 and A500 will get updated in mid-April.

Both tablets have lagged Acer's sales expectations, but 4.0 can likely give them a small boost.

The Iconia Tab A500 runs on Android 3.0 Honeycomb, has a Tegra 2 Processor, a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 screen, Wi-Fi, 1GB RAM, a 5MP rear-facing camera plus an HD front-facing camera.

I am very happy with my A500, I have had it since it came out last May. However, I always pass on the updates since my tablet is modded and overclocked to hell. Still good news for others.
