Another tablet , this time Acer ICONIA A500

| |

The Acer Iconia A500, which will start at $579 for the entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi model,
has a 10.1in capacitive touchscreen and runs the latest Google Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' operating system specifically designed for larger screened tablet devices.

Described by Acer as offering a "superb mobile and home entertainment experience",
the Iconia A500 supports HD video playback, and has an HDMI-out port meaning it can
be plugged directly into a high-definition television. It also has a USB port for storing
and transferring files, and is the only mainstream Android tablet aside from the Motorola Xoom to offer this feature. The Acer Iconia A500 is a little on the chunky side, and is heavier than the iPad 2, but
potential buyers may be happy sacrificing a little size and weight for some extra
features — at least that's what Acer will hope. Like the iPad 2, the Acer Iconia A500 will come in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G variants, and has two cameras — a front-facing camera for video calls and a rear camera for recording HD video and capturing still photographs. It is powered by a 1GHz NVIDIA
Tegra 2 processor — the same used in the Galaxy Tab 10.1v — and 1GB RAM. Acer offers 16GB and 32GB storage options, and both sizes come with expandable memory
via a microSD card slot.
