Impression Upgradable?

Ok so I have not been able to find any information that indicates if I can upgrade my current Impression Tablet to the highest Android O.S. 4.0.1 Ice cream sandwich.....Can someone please help me?? Need info will it be possible? How?? Thank you in advance
Same question here. Volume down and power bring up a automatic update screen but it seems as if there is no recovery mode. Maybe the firmwares update option looks for a spacific file name or type in a pre determined location and you may be able to rename a android release .zip file to match what the update mode is looking for and move the file to the proper folder on a rooted device but its all just a maybe. I would love to find out if there is a way to put ICS on my Impression i10. As it stands now I am very disappointed on how locked down and vanilla this stock OS is. ( No market )
I installed the MArket and Gmail from .apk files I downloaded directly. I even found a Contacts.apk so my kids can store phone numbers and email addresses. The Market sees your device as if you were in China, so you are limited to what you can get. Angry Birds works! There are quite a few others, and I am working on a way to change my device to show it's in the US so I can download more. I am also trying to put Android 3.0 on it. Email me if you want the .apk files I have. I will send them to you directly, I don't want to deal with megaupload or any of those other sites.

BEWARE: This download is only compatible with certain tablets purchased at a single retailer. It is not compatible with all Impression i10 tablets. Something to do with the kernal version and the device hardware. I did it on my i10 and bricked it.

That sucks but you ignored my earlier warning posted 12/18/2012. That update is not for all Impression tablets. Not even for all I10's. ONLY for units purchased from Big Lots.
pleas file sdfuse-D.zip (4shared.com)
Gerromonkey: Is there a way to unbricked it?.
Mine doesn't make it to the end while upgrading, it resets itself in the middle.
Now it freezes in the impression logo.
I tried holding the camera and power button and I do get the blue screen with factory reset message with no success.
Please advice. ;-)
