Acer Iconia Tab (Same specs as Xoom) Wifi $450

April 8th, 2011

Sorry, this is my first post..

The Acer Iconia Tab A500, with almost exact specifications as the Motorola Xoom.
It is the WiFi only version, which will be released on the 24th (of April), which will be at Best Buy for $450

It has the dual-core Tegra 2 processor, and HDMI Port with 1080p video out,
10.1-inch 1280 x 800 LCD screen, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of flash storage, a 5 megapixel camera around back and a 2 megapixel imager up front, HDMI-out, along with a PAIR of 3260 mAh batteries, which Acer claims to give 8 hours of life while playing HD video.
It doesnt have a built in USB port however.
(Yes, it has Honeycomb)

There are lots of Honeycomb Tablets coming up, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and the LG Optimus Tab..
All seem to have near similar specifications, but this seems to be one of the cheaper ones from actual reliable manufacturers.

The 3G version (for those who want to wait and have the opportunity to pay $30 a month for two years) from AT&T will be released sometime in the Summer.

Its chassis is brushed aluminum on the back, which looks really amazing.

Thanks to Engadget for specs, and information..
http://www.engadget.com/photos/ac…ess-shots/
For pictures

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/0…lves-apri/
For specs…

Edit: The Acer Iconia Tab looks to have stock Honeycomb UI (other than some preloaded apps, and games..) the Asus Eee Pad Transformer has a manufacturer added UI, which isnt really a bad thing, as it seems to be looking good.. The only reason I didnt post the Transformer is that it doesnt have a release date for the US yet.
