Engadget Reviews Acer Iconia Tab A100

500

Acer had announced it was entering the tablet scene back in November of 2010 and finally, 9 months later, Engadet finally got their hands on one to review. Sadly, it doesn't live up to expectations for what a tablet should delivery - mainly in the battery area which should be the MOST important feature on any tablet. For ~$330, users can grab a 7 inch Tablet running Android 2.3 - Honeycomb (which NO sense UI!) a Tegra 2 SoC, 5 MP and a 2 MP camera (front and back), and micro-USB and micro-HDMI ports.

Another external review stating

"Bottom Line

The Acer Iconia Tab A100 forges new ground for innovation in a 7-inch tablet. With its feature-laden, yet practical design and compact size, the A100 has the goods to deliver a modestly sized alternative to the 10-inch class of tablets. Android 3.2 appears to have some rough spots, though, and app compatibility may be an issue until app makers and Google can issue the appropriate firmware updates."

and "where the A500's design and hardware disappointed, the A100 does the opposite, delivering, on the whole, a refreshingly positive experience."

and "Most notable, though, is this tablet's impressive complement of ports and slots. Along the bottom edge (when holding the tablet in portrait orientation), you have an Micro-HDMI port, docking connector, and microUSB port, flanked by the tablet's stereo speakers. At the far right bottom is the AC power port. Just up along the right edge of the tablet (or top, if holding it in landscape orientation) is the sturdily designed slot cover that protects the microSD card slot. (It also seems to have an accommodation in place for a SIM card for a future connected version of the tablet, but that slot was closed off on our review unit.)

This connectivity is all the more impressive when you consider that Acer crams those ports into the A100 without exceeding the physical size and weight of competing 7-inch tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi and the HTC Flyer / Sprint Evo View 4G."
