Acer Iconia A100 Review
Acer has performed a neat trick by bring a seven-inch tablet to the table - or indeed to the jacket pockets of consumers. Acer also brought us one of the first devices to run on Android Honeycomb (the Acer Iconia A500 tablet), so how does its smaller sibling stand up to its bigger brother?
Pros:
- Speedy dual-core chip and Android Honeycomb preloaded
Cons:
- If you want more than 7 inches from your tablet you'll need to look to Apple or Samsung for a solution

Acer is the latest manufacturer to roll out a 7in tablet, and will face the likes of RIM, HTC and Samsung in a bid to attract buyers to the portable form factor.

Acer Iconia Tab A100
There are a handful of questions to ask yourself before buying a tablet like the Acer Iconia Tab A100. First of all, "do I really need one?" Once you've surmounted that hurdle, you need to ask whether you want a home tablet, or one to use as you exhale a despairing sigh on the way to work, trapped...
Pros:
- Expandable memory
- Handy form factor
- Plenty of power
Cons:
- Poor display
- Mediocre battery life

Acer Iconia A100
Steve Jobs doesn't like 7-inch tablets. Hardly surprising, given that Apple only has one tablet, and it's not 7-inches. But Pocket-lint likes all tablets, especially ones that give the people what they want: choice. The Iconia A100 is Acer's most recent entry into the Honeycomb tablet market.
Pros:
- Sturdy
- runs Honeycomb
Cons:
- Not all that cheap
- odd screen
- DLNA not good at all

The overall user experience remains the same while using Honeycomb as any other dual-core 1GHz tablet, that is to say that it's fairly quick. However, don't expect smooth transitions and snappy playback like iPad 2.

Acer Iconia Tab A100 review
Acer's Iconia Tab A100 has some great redeeming features in its dinky compact chassis. That said, even the cheaper price isn't enough of an added impetus to go out and buy it.
Pros:
- Compact build
- Affordable price
- Dual-core CPU
Cons:
- Battery life
- Storage
- Finger prints

Does the job a little better than a smart phone.
Not really sure, always have it plugged in. eh gets tossed back and forth, literally. The Acer A100 Iconia tablet is a fair deal at around $120 new. It's no iPad, however it gets the job done. There are many pros and cons to consider when buying a tablet.

Acer Iconia A100
While we're glad to see a 7-inch alternative in the Android Honeycomb landscape, we can only wish that the A100 was better. Although it gave us solid performance and sports a decent range of connectivity, the screen is a shocker, and its size and weight are more substantial than we'd like.
Pros:
- Solid performance
- HDMI-out
- Excellent web browsing
Cons:
- Poor screen with awful off-axis viewing
- Thicker and heavier than we'd like it to be

Acer Iconia A100
Acer was the first of its computer counterparts on the scene with an Android Honeycomb tablet, and it's first again to follow up, with a 7-inch alternative. The A100 is smaller and lighter than the A500 , but is it small enough and light enough to make for a true alternative to a 10-inch tab?
Pros:
- Solid performance
- HDMI-out
- Excellent web browsing
Cons:
- Poor screen with awful off-axis viewing
- Thicker and heavier than we'd like it to be
