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.

Acer Iconia Tab A500

At the current prices, we reckon the Motorola Xoom has the edge on the Acer Iconia Tab A500. The Xoom costs about £30 more, but you'll get a sleeker-looking, lighter and slightly smaller tablet.
Pros:
  • Fast and fun to use
  • great Web browser with Flash support
  • USB port makes syncing easy
  • slightly cheaper than the Xoom
Cons:
  • Good Honeycomb apps and widgets are currently hard to find
  • plastic case looks fairly cheap
  • heavier and larger than the Xoom

"Acer A500 - Fantastic product"

I'd been toying with the idea of buying a tablet PC for some time, as my old laptop had seen better days. I'd spent hours playing with ipads and various other tablets before I came across the Acer A500. My initial thought was that an Acer product would be inferior to other "Name Brands".
Pros:
  • ease of use
  • look & feel
  • speed
  • durability
Cons:
  • video playback not the best
