Acer Iconia Tab A500

Well yesterday I looked at the new Acer Iconia and that was rather interesting as Acer brings laptops in a new era of full touch capabilities. Well today I will be looking at the potential iPad killer. Now we know that iPad have a knack of not being what most Microsoft users want, need or expect. Yes, it lacks flash. Therefore browsing it not what we all would like. In 2011 manufacturers of slates not only will have flash which was available from 2010 but now with dual core processors. Now these slates will be as powerful as a laptop regarding processing power.

The new Acer Iconia Tab A500

Now to the new gadget this post is all about, the new Acer Iconia Tab A500. This amazing machine has a wide array of ports and a wonderful 10-inch screen with HD capabilities, running the new Tegra 2 chipset. This will definitely bring competition to the current iPad. I saw current as Apple is in the process of developing a new iPad rumored to have a dual core processor as well. But enough of me babbling about the Acer Iconia Tab A500, here are the full specification it will have upon launching;

• 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen
• Full 1080p HD playback capabilities
• nVidia Tegra 2 chipset (dual core 1 GHz processor)
• LTE network
• Built-in gyroscope
• Runs Android 2.2 Froyo (will use Android Honeycomb when launched)
• Acer UI 4.5
• Clear.fi Media Share feature
• built-in HDMI port,
• Verizon Wireless 4G data plan
• 3D gaming capabilities
• Flash 10.1
• Front and back cameras

Now that is just one amazing piece of device and I will definitely try to get my hands on one of this. Any cons? I can’t think of none. This is flawless unless proven otherwise and it has not gotten the chance to as yet. This is said to launch around April this year or after. I won’t be surprised if earlier. We do not have any idea of the price but I figure it will be close to what the iPad is for. I don’t have all the specs listed but will definitely update this post when everything is more detailed. I have also included a video of this product so you can watch it in action. See video here :) Tell me what you think about this new product. Thanks for reading.
