Update: Acer Iconia Tab A500 Honeycomb 3.1 Update Not for India Yet
A Honeycomb 3.1 updates was expected to roll out for Acer's Iconia Tab A500 tablet yesterday on a global scale, however it has not yet reached India.
Update: We've spoken to Acer about the Honeycomb 3.1 update and it seems that users in India will only get their hands on it sometime in mid-August OTA. So that means there's some more waiting for us. For now, those who haven't yet updated thier devices will receive an update to 3.01. We'd like to thank all our readers for sending in their comments about the upadte.
The goodness inches closer...
According to AndroidOS.in, the update should bring a leap in system performance. Better support for USB and Bluetooth devices is also expected. Acer has balanced the focus with support for HTML5 video content and there’s also support for additional video file formats, as well. The goodness doesn’t stop there though, there’s improved Wi-Fi networking and last but not the least, there’s support for Microsoft Exchange server, as well.
More from News AnalysisThat’s definitely a whole lot of improvements that’s being promised. The update is globally available OTA, but we hope it’s also available for the Indian community. If you’ve got the notification for a software update, do let us know whether you’ve found any improvement in the performance. Since we have the product in our labs, we checked for the OTA update however there was none. We'll keep checking of course spo stay tuned.
