Acer Iconia Tab A500 will get ICS in April.
Acer in the US is now updating over-the-air the Acer Iconia Tab A200 tablet to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) version. The same update will arrive on the older Acer Iconia Tab A100 and A500 in April, the company officially announced yesterday.
DigiTimes reports that Asustek and Acer plan to unveil convertible touch-screen ultrabooks this summer.
We can expect innovative convertible laptop designs, like on the 360-degree flip-and-fold Lenovo Yoga, scheduled for release in the second half of 2012. Also, DigiTimes says we could see sliding screens like on the Toshiba Portege M950, showcased at the CES Show last month.
Windows 7 isn’t designed with touch-screens in mind, but touch-enabled laptops could be pretty useful with upcoming Windows 8, which solves touch input shortcomings of Microsoft’s current OS. However, size and weight of convertibles are apparent disadvantage when compared to keyboard-less tablets.
