Why do I have such a hard time finding update details for my iconia tab? I love this thing but at the same time it irritates me just like my girlfriend.

This morning I saw the prompt for acers 4.0 update on this thing so I did it. My swipe doesnt work now. I tried to google details about the update and found nothing. Igo to acer s website and also find nothing.

Why acer why?
 
I'm having problems getting this to load on my a500. It downloads the 386.70 mb package no problem but when it goes to install it I receive the error. "The system update is invalid and has been cancelled." Anyone else getting the same message, if so anyone find a word around?

I got the same message, it failed for me at least a half dozen update attempts, very frustrating.

I solved the problem by rooting, installing Clockwork recovery and then manually installing the update myself. XDA has the update available as a download on their Acer A500 forum.

I am in Canada, and just got a request to update from 4.010.22 to 4.010.38.
I am wondering if I should do it now or wait to see if other peoples are having problems with this update. I presently have android version 3.1 and never had problems, but I have seen other having conection problems since 3.1.

From what I was reading you'll be lucky if it even unpacks without fail..

I just got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I am thinking about switching to the the Acer. Has the update addressed any of the issues that have been popping up?

Well for me the patch to 3.01 sorted all my problems, the update to 3.1 for me has been fine, couple of improved features and overall much speedier, I can't think of anything to complain about.
