Dear fans, love Iconia Tab A500 owners, we are pleased to announce that the eagerly-awaited update is imminent – Android Honeycomb 3.1! The update cycle will begin on 5 July and work via FOTA (firmware over the air), ie you will automatically appear on your A500. Short and confirm from this 🙂 Thanks for your patience! Your Acer Germany Team

 

The update includes  resizable widgets, better support for USB devices, and a performance boost, to further improve your Tablet experience.

With no mention of the US update, we are left in the dark as to when we might expect the Android 3.1 enhancements.  This is apparently one of the last Tablets based on Honeycomb to get the Android 3.1 update.  Come on Acer, get your act together.
