In all, our impressions of the Iconia A500 are mixed. It feels a little slicker than the Motorola Xoom in use, and there are some useful bits of software included. It's nicely designed too, with cameras that do a passable job of shooting the odd picture and video clip.

Amazing device!

Amazing device! The full size usb and aluminium finish make this tablet a much better choice than the rest of the android honeycomb tablets out there. On the flip side, it is a bit bulkier than the rest, but i havent noticed it since i started using it regularly.
Pros:
  • Aluminium Finish
  • Full Size USB Port
  • Working SD card [unlike Xoom
  • Gorilla Glass display
Cons:
  • A bit bulkier than the rest of the tablets

Amazing for travelling

I took this tablet with me on a 4 week 4x4 trip from Melbourne to Cape York and back, and the tablet has shown to be really really useful and basically brilliant on the trip

Great tablet for price

This tablet is great for the amount of money you pay. It has a Dual Core Tegra 2 processor that makes it one of the fastest tablets available (although slower than the iPad 2). This tablet can run graphically intense games, such as Dungeon Defenders, with no lag at all.

Ice cream sandwich is great on the A500

So a week ago I got an Acer A500 cuz I heard it was getting the 4.0 upgrade and so far its exceeded all my expectations. Right out of the box it was actually quite fast and responsive but I quickly upgraded it to 3.2 and it was much smoother.
Pros:
  • android 4.0 , full size usb 2.0 and micro sd card slot
  • micro hdmi out.
Cons:
  • its not quad core
  • not tegra 3

My first tablet

I wasn't sure about tablets when I bought this but I think this is a good one. If you're used to using an android mobile phone, then this is not much different, except for the size. What I like : Borders around the edge of the screen give you something to grip without touching the screen.

Best of the best atm.

First off, this tab DOES support Netflix (although I don't use it, but a 10 second Google search will show you how).It can be overclocked to 1.6 ghz and 1.7 ghz very soon via flashing a new rom.It is slightly heavier than other tabs in its class but it has an aluminum shell.

I still really like using the A500 over having to use a normal laptop like I was before, it is just so much nicer that it is always on and I can just hit the power button and go! Still very happy with this purchase
