Acer confirms Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for select Iconia tablets?

You can say that the race is definitely on – with different tablet manufacturers working hard to release the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for their respective pieces of hardware. We do know that Acer did roll out a quartet of new tablets this year – including the Iconia Tab A200 that we see above, the Iconia Tab 110, the Iconia Tab 510, and the Iconia Tab 700 that sports a Full HD display. The thing is, they all do not come with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update, but rather, run on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. Needless to say, some of the customers do expect some Android 4.1 Jelly Bean goodness to come their way, and Dutch website Tablet Guide reported that Acer has already confirmed that the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is coming. No exact model names were given, and neither was there any timeframe revealed either. Hopefully something official will be released from the horse’s mouth in due time, and we just cannot wait.

Acer Iconia Tab A210 hits the FCC

Acer wasn’t divulging much about availability when we first caught sight of its Iconia Tab A210 at Computex last month (beyond a general “Q3”), but the 10-inch Android tablet has now at least cleared one hurdle on its way to a release. The device has just passed through the FCC, which could indicate that it’s headed for stores sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, there’s not much else to be found beyond the tablet’s label and a few test reports, so you’ll have to wait for a future filing if you were hoping for a peek inside the device — feel free to revisit our hands-on in the meantime.
