Acer Iconia Tab A110 to Be Released With Android 4.1, JellyBean
Acer will reportedly release its new Iconia Tab A110 in the near future.
The device recently surfaced through an online retailer known as Ebuyer. It also is confirmed to have Android 4.1, JellyBean pre-installed on it.
This Iconia Tab features the same UI as the Google Nexus 7 tablet. It also has the exact same placement for its keys that appear below the display and its notification bar is at the top.
Its specifications are also really close to those featured on the Google Nexus 7 tablet.
The Acer Iconia Tab A110 will come equipped with a quad-core 1.2GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 pixels resolution display, 8GB of internal memory, microSD card slot, and an HDMI output.
It will also be in the same price range as the Google Nexus 7 as the tablet is expected to cost somewhere around $200.
The Samsung Galaxy Note will receive the Android 4.1, JellyBean update before the end of 2012.
YouMobile.org claims that its inside sources have confirmed that the update will roll out before 2013 and that it will bring some minor UI changes to Samsung's TouchWiz.
The Galaxy Note recently received the Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich update and Premium Suite.
Premium Suite brought the device's S Note application up to speed, gave it a widget that enables one touch access to all S Memo features, and brought along My Story, an app that uses S Pen to create customized greeting cards and notes.
The JellyBean update will allow Samsung and Google to further expand on the Galaxy Note's capabilities and unique features.
This same source also revealed to the site that the Android 4.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone will be released in September.
It seems that the JellyBean software is rolling out much faster than Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich due to it not being a complete overhaul of the operating system.
Android 4.1 was introduced by Google in June and debuted on the Google Nexus 7 tablet in July.
