Acer Iconia
The first 7-inch Honeycomb tablet has finally hit stores in the form of Acer's Iconia A100. Its been a long, long time since we first clapped eyes on the A100. Acer unveiled the slate last fall, at a special event in NYC, and showed it off again at CES. It was scheduled for launch in May but delayed due to compatibility issues with Honeycomb. Acer has been largely quiet regarding the launch since then. However, just a couple of weeks ago, the rumor mill churned out a little tidbit that said an email had been sent out to Acer retail partners informing them the tablet would launch in August.
Sure enough, the smaller brother to the A500 and W500 is here. The A100 boasts Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset, a 7-inch 1024x600 display, 512MB RAM, 8GB/16GB of internal storage, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel lens up front, and Google's Android 3.0 (aka Honeycomb) OS. It's priced at $330 (8GB) or 350GB (16GB). The 10.1-inch A500 currently retails for $400 on Newegg.
