Yeah but those are all just regurgitating the same unconfirmed bs. It doesn't mean it's true.
Until an Acer rep says so or Acer releases a statement on their site/blog/FB page [whatever] it's all just the same blah blah blah. Maybe they have, I don't know.

Yeah, it's a shame all these people believing the world is now round too huh? lol
Acer Poland has confirmed to a local tech website, Tablet-online.pl that the company will provide updates for Ice Cream Sandwich in January 2012.

Ya but until someone who has first hand knowledge that the world is round confirms it, it doesn't mean it is.

Well, you know... That's the difference between 'theory' and 'fact'. We'll just have to wait until someone sails around the globe to prove that it is round.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for someone to fly around the world as well before I believe it!

Heresy! You'll burn in hell for such blaspheme. Man was never meant to fly.
Haha since nobody noticed this was a sarcastic comment. I don't care how many websites say its coming it is still unconfirmed until Acer announces it. And it has been confirmed the world is round lol.

You'd rather let a woman do the piloting? Coz that worked SO well in Star Trek Generations.
Joke!
Is ICS really that big of a deal. Stock 3.2 runs smooth and there are enough 3rd party apps to do practically anything. There are no gaps to fill that I can see, other than fetch me a beer.
Im not in a big hurry for it myself and i will probably let my favorite app updates dictate when i will upgrade to ICS(when or if we get it).
In other words, when the latest QuickPic update informs me it will no longer run on 3.2 ....that is when I will bite the bullet.

Technically, it's supposed to be...if only for 2 hard facts:
1. 4.0 will allow the GPU to accelerate the GUI which means things should be smoother. Not that they are rough now (well, I've seen some folks complain of lag), but in theory it should make the OS run like butter.
Then there's 2. which is that with the market unified, developers will be writing a single application which will/should (in theory, again) work on all Android devices.
Granted, some devs could go down the greedy path (I'm looking at you, swiftkey) and release separate apps when it's completely unnecessary. "Swiftkey for Phones" and "Swiftkey for Tablets" in order to have customers pay twice for the product, but I doubt it'll be rampant.
1 of the top issues that people complain about regarding HC currently is the lack of tablet optimized apps. Sure, your 1.6-2.3 based apps MIGHT work, but unless they have truly been optimized for HC, sometimes it can be a horrid experience. You get those that work, and work well, those that work, but don't work so well, those that work but show up in a small box in the middle of your tablet screen, some that show up but visually are 'off', and then you have those that force close, those that start but just don't work right and those that hide in your running apps causing havoc somehow because they aren't truly built for the tablet, so on and so forth. All of this should technically go away...it'll take time but it should and eventually you'll be able to take advantage of your app on any Android based device.
Personally, I'm as excited about ICS as I could possibly be about a new OS release. I guess if only to see if anything will be unleashed for the A500.

I think it worked out even better for Amelia Earhart

That 2nd link you put in says the update to the a500 will be sometime in mid 2012, thats 8 months from now. They should have ICS 4.2 by then
I think one major point is being missed in this whole thread. 2 words: source code!
Honeycomb never had it, so we relied on whatever Acer gave us, or porting from other devices and whatever those manufacturers provided. Since ICS will have it's source code released in about 2 weeks (approx.) that means devs could get working on some AOSP vanilla goodness! Between SDK and source code, we'll have ICS ROM's in no time. Sure, they might not be perfect until Acer can provide some official libs/drivers/whatever else, but it'll be a nice start and once we do get the official files from Acer, AOSP ROM's will go a long way! But that's just how I envision it. One can dream, can't they?

32If you haven't received the update yet, check to see if you've received the ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement from the Play Store. After installing it, I received the update notification for Acer_A500_041.203.01_COM_GEN1.2
just find any other topic they turned into a chat session

Doesn't matter if Australia and NZ get it first, because as soon as any build appears, the devs here will have it rooted and available for everyone
