Not counting dev work, its entirely up to Acer. They have to decide if it's worth their time and money to create another update for this device, or count the ICS upgrade as final, and focus on newer devices. Honestly, most devices only get 1 major upgrade before being forgotten, and we had ours. The newer Acers are coming out, I wouldn't think Acer would spend the time and money to make JB for us.

Of course I hope I'm wrong.

Ill be glad to test a 4.1 build you put together, your CM9 is running so well.
Nexus 4 - Whatever flavor ROM I feel like at the time.

If I have helped you in any way, please hit the thanks button!

Setup a free 2 Gigabyte DropBox account using this link http://db.tt/eQFOpLSc and get an extra 250 megabytes, and I will too!

Acer just let out ics, and with the a110 right around the corner. I doubt Acer is gong to bother with another update. Especially with the bug complaints and the release fiasco.

The a110 sounds great and all, but unless they paid some serious attention to viewing angles and battery life, it'll be even worse then the a100 is now with only 2 cores to power.

Unfortunately the hands on vids I have seen, it looks like it still has that one terrible viewing angle. But the battery is slightly higher capacity.

Unless I see USB host confirmed, no way I would spend the cash for such a minimalistic upgrade.

Ultimate Android 4.1 Update List: Which Tablets Will Get Jelly Bean?

Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A100

Acer updated both the Acer A500 and A100 with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, the software was delayed a bit before it actually rolled out.
Given that the software may have caused Acer some headaches and that these are aging devices, an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean may not be in the cards.
Remember, Android 4.1 is an incremental update which means there is a chance but at this point, we would start crossing those fingers A100 and A500 owners.

I just really hope a developer makes a 4.1 ROM. The a500 just got a 4.1 ROM so I don't see why it can't be ported over to us a100 users.

Try what people did before? Backup boot.img (kernel), flash a500 ROM, and restore the boot.img?

Already tried porting, boot swapping didn't work. Gets stuck on infinite boot animation. I tried it like a week ago or so when randomblame first did it. I was sitting in irc with him lol I literally was porting it seconds after he uploaded it.

I've been distracted and haven't worked on it much since.
