Acer Iconia tab A510 released, offers a sweet treat

Acer Iconia A510
The newest Acer tablet goes head-to-head with Asus

The Acer Iconia A510 tablet hit the market today and features the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS and quad-score Tegra 3 processor. What's more, it's hoping to give its rival, the Asus Transformer Prime, a run for its money.

Asus, whose Transformer Prime tablet became the first to arrive in the US, also features a quad-core Tegra 3 processor.

Tasty updates for older models

Acer's focus may now be on the newest model, but the company plans to tip its hat in appreciation of those who purchased last year's Iconia Tab A500 and Iconia Tab A100, which will both receive a free update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich rolling out in the US starting on April 27.

Iconia Tab A100 users in Latin America will actually get their updates a couple days early on April 25, while Canadian A100 owners will have to wait an extra few days until the May 3 rollout.

The Acer website has all the details for those who don't plan to upgrade to the latest hardware.
