After ASUS, the fastest manufacturer to bring Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 to their tablets was Acer, but according to a spokesperson for Acer Benelux, Acer may not be staying in the users’ good books for long, as the Iconia A100, A200, and A500 tablets have apparently been denied updates to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Now, while it is understandable for the Iconia A100 and A500 to not get the update as they were released way back in April of 2011 and have gotten one major Android update already, to deny updates to the Iconia A200, a device that was released early this year seems too evil on Acer’s part. Jelly Bean is not too major an update either compared to Ice Cream Sandwich, so I fail to see a reason for Acer to deny updates to these tablets. Even the hardware isn’t lacking, with all three tablets running on a dual-core Tegra 2 processor and 1GB of RAM.

Acer might go back on their words later on, but for now this is quite disappointing news for owners of either of the three tablets. Keep your fingers crossed and hope that Acer change their mind and see sense some fine day in the future.
