It looks like Acer is up next for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. After initially launching the new Iconia A200 tablet last month and promising a quick update to ICS, we can safely say it is finally rolling out today. It’s nice to see them sticking to their promise. Stating the update would come in February — and here it is. Available for download right now.

The update should be hitting tablets right this moment and as you can see from the screenshot below Acer has updated the slate from Honeycomb to Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. Version 4.0.4 that leaked last week was only for the Galaxy Nexus, making the A200 on the latest version officially from Google.

The update brings your tablet to build number Acer_AV041_A200_1.037.00_PA_CUS1 and should only take a few minutes to download and install. As usual the tablet should notify users of an update but you can manually check and get started now. Just go to settings > about tablet > system update and get it started right now. I’m sure many are wondering where this same update is for the older A500 that surely has more owners. Most likely it is coming soon as Acer also promised a timely update for that tablet too.

Give the update a try and sound off in the comment section should you have any problems, or find some special hidden tricks or features.

  1. Hi, 
    I am a user of a200. I’ve just checked it, it hasn’t been upgraded yet. is it automatically done or do i need to download from some where?

    • i just bought mine, and the moment i turned it on and connected to the wifi, it downloaded an update… or is there another update that I haven’t gotten?

  2. I just got updated to version Acer_AV032_A200_1.041.00_PA_CUS1 and it is Android Version 3.2.1….was there a problem with the Acer_AV041_A200_1.037.00_PA_CUS1 version and they reverted?
     

  3. got it and craigsbrowser app does not work, igoogle does not load, and wifi drops in and out… looks the same otherwise for the most part,some icons on bottom of screen have changed appearance, also comes with amazon apps and a few others… youtube videos have to open in youtube viewer… not in browser. 

  4. exchanged my Galaxy Tab for this. So far so good. only thing that I didn’t know there wasn’t a rear facing camera… no big deal but just so others know

  5. Just bought my Acer inconia a200 tablet. Its great. I love it. The battery life lasts long, its great for my writing documents, plays my music smoothly. Volumes a lil soft though but not a big problem. But I love it a lot.

  6. Bought my tablet A200 February 2012. Upgraded automatically to 4.0.3 on 7 March 2012. Works well, cleaner lines, slightly different menus but easier to find items. Great.

    And this is in New Zealand!

  7. Did the update on my A200, went well, but now when it goes into sleep mode, it sometimes doesn’t wake up without a reboot – annoying!

    • Mine does the same. Also takes about 20 seconds to boot up after being shut down. Intermittently only gets to showing ‘ACER’ on the screen and has to be turned off then on again. Annoining

  8. Like a lot of others, Flash no longer works, so no vids, and my tablet is now referring to itself as a phone. Can’t find any fixes. Tried to d/l Adobe Flash update, but there wasn’t one. Tried reverting back to factory install, but it kept ICE. Very not happy now.
