Friends, I recently bought an Iconia A500, new in the box from a University surplus store.  My intention was to use it for navigation software.  While it runs a variety of apps, a file manager, Avast, etc., it generates a Force Close/Report box as it tries to load the first page of  several navigtion programs and crashes.  One program  says it is compatible with Android 3 and aanother says it is compatibel with late issues of 2.    I am open to suggestions as to how to remedy this?  Have not been able to upgrade it, build number is Acer_A500_1.145.09_COM_GEN1.

    Finally managed to figure out the updating instructions and accidently updated my machine to 4.0 (thought I had downloaded the 3.2 update into my PC) from 3.01.  Nav programs seem to be running without crashing!
