Users on a forum here in Germany (www.android-hilfe.de) are reporting getting emails from Acer support (in response to complaints about the sluggish performance and heat) saying that a software update addressing these problems should be coming out around the end of this month. No idea if it's just for Germany, but logically it would be world wide, though of course the schedule could be different for each area. In the past, Germany has often been the last to get updates, but since Acer tablets are currently top selling here, we might be getting them earlier now. I don't have an A700 (I have an A500), but it's one that I'm keeping an eye on.
