Just reading on Acer's Facebook page that some are getting Ice Cream Sandwich now. Has anyone in NZ updated to it yet?

Nothing here yet. I think Acer said May 17th for us.

I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

A501 here, and no updates showing yet.... Didn't Acer NZ say late April for ICS?

I thought the 501 was June or July.

I have an A200 and we got ICS a while back. Not overly impressed although there was some minor changes it wasn't up to the hype so flashed a custom rom (CM9 variant for A500,200,100) which has improved it immensely.

Erk, you are right, silly me for assuming that the 501 and the 500 would get it at the same time... Will just have to be patient then I guess!

Just got ICS for my A500.
Seems to be a lot smoother, but haven't had a good play yet

Was it completely stock before you upgraded? Have you tried a factory reset?
