A500 4.0 update
- Thread starter sullivan.evan
- Start date
According to the Acer web site at the following link, it does not say it will be released Mid April.
It says TBA Mid April.
To me that means the release date is To Be Announced Mid April.
If we go by updates in the past we know they give dates and then keep pushing them back.
I hope it's coming mid April. Hopefully TBA means To Be Available.

I'm not sure. Someone else stated "side loading". However I'm sure we'll find out very soon.
Side loading is when you load an app via the SD Card.
<-- Is impatiently waiting for 4.0

Thanks for that but I googled it and according to their definition it applies to all apps not loaded via the android market/google play. In other words, if you downloaded app direct from a developer's web site this is called side loading. I suppose by definition this includes SD Cards.
Here at Nasa in Clear Lake Texas. For awhile Soon= xdays-x+y till you are laid off.

I know things are tough at some of the facilities now. We're still launching rockets (NASA Wallops) and we have more commercial customers coming in, so we're going strong. We have taken in quite a fee refugees from the Cape. I wish you the best down there!
I have a family member that handles Acer North America sales and tech support (they have a US tech support? thought everything is in india now).
His kid had an A500, he has an A510. BOth had offcial 4.0.03. So I asked first.. when's it coming.. second, can you update mine? lol
Now clearly it is an Acer Rep/office version. It has standard Acer/ICS stuff, but, it also had Acer demo modes, and benchmarking and system settigns that are not standard. Plus Acer bloatware.
He said servers are already ready to distribute to A500 then A100 in North America. The exact day they start rolling by system ID's is not set in stone, but it starts when servers are sent the go ahead. I guess they handle all A200 updates as well and they are still trinkling out to those that ignore the message.
The acer wheel is on it. Yet it is slightly different then the leaks. this had the wheel feature then a slide out feature that opeened little sub features, which clearly my figers have an issue with. The center lock will trigger the main system of the unlock mode you have set, such as face recognition which uses the front camera.
I was curious about Order and Chaos online. Well it's not in the market for it, but can side load and run fine. Developer fix stated as coming shortly by a next update.
The Onlive app works. It actually works perfectly smooth.
I put in my memory card and my video's also played smoother then normal withotu that occational pause of the higher resolution beign scalled down (because I use hdmi out often).
THen it was taken away from me............... RUined my Easter dinner.............

In South Dakota by any chance? I know that a lot of their North American internet presence is based out of North Sioux City, South Dakota ever since they bought out Gateway Computers about 4 years ago. After the buyout Acer started moving stuff there. A lookup of the IP address for www.acer.com resolves it to 63.66.78.161 which is still listed in ARIN as being owned by Gateway.
no. California as far as the office is concerned. Who they use for their web site or server base is probably very different.
Acer.com itself is Eurodns rooted. Local traffic will be rerouted by region.
