We have talked to Acer about the Honeycomb 3.1 update also it seems that customers in India will only get hold of it sometime in mid-August OTA. To ensure that means there’s some more awaiting us. For now, people who have not yet updated thier devices will receive an update to 3.01. We want to thank all our readers for submitting their comments about the upadte.

About fourteen days ago we heard that the Acer Iconia Tab A500 was going to get the latest Honeycomb update between July. In doing so, at least after the update, the tablet’s high-end specifications will be utilized in the right manner, so we hope. Well July is here and it looks like Acer has kept their promise of delivering the update.

Based on 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.

That’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.
