Over the weekend, Acer started pushing the Android 4.0 update to the Iconia Tab A200. Yesterday, Acer ANZ announced that the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Iconia Tab A500 would be rolling out in April in Australia and New Zealand. Today, in an attempt to roll a turkey, Acer America followed suit and announced the ICS update for not only the A500, but the A100 along with it:

To all Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A100 users, please expect an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade in mid-April! Thank you for your patience.

It's good to see Acer providing a [somewhat] timely update, especially to the seemingly forgotten 7-inch A100. Here's to hoping that this update arrives delay-free!

Update: Acer just sent out an official presser that provides a few more details about the ICS update for both the A100 and A500. For starters, the update will include Acer's new Acer Ring feature (which is already on the A200) that allows quick access to apps, the ability to quickly post update to social networks, grab a screenshot, and a lot more just b simple tapping the center of the notification bar.

As for Acer's other modifications to Android 4.0, users will also be able to "enjoy an improved weather widget" and "access their favorite apps even when the screen is locked."

Sounds good, Acer. Bring it.
