    Nice. As an Iconia Tab A500 user I am just waiting for the official Jelly Bean now.

      Has Acer made any indication that they will be doing an official 4.1 update for the A500/A501?

        Not that I know of. Like @elcheapoinoz I'll probably go for the route of CM10 when it's a bit more stable.

          Damn, you had got my hopes up for a minute :( I must say that I am very happy with ICS though. Getting an official JB upgrade would be even better but I doubt Acer would bother updating old devices when they would rather be selling new ones.

    yup just too late from Acer. check the CM10 alpha version. works surprisingly well

    I've been underwhelmed by ICS on my A500. It's just as slow as ever, but then again, I have a ton of apps installed.

      If you haven't done a factory reset since the upgrade then I recommend you do. The difference in performance should be huge

      I upgraded my A501 to 4.0.3 with the latest push from Acer. It's basically unusable now it's so slow. I don't recommend getting this update. I'm thinking it's time to get rid of it and buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab or Asus Transformer.

        Same with A500 upgrade — you pretty much need to reset the tablet to factory default, and then re-install all the apps. If you just upgrade and keep all the settings it's going to run pretty slow.
