Good beginner use tablet

the weight was a lot lighter than I had expected. Compared to many other tablets that I tested out, this is one of the lightest ones I have used. The apps are plentiful and vary from business ones to reward one to even casual games like angry birds.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 review

Acer has taken a different approach from most manufacturers to tablets. Instead of putting all it's money behind one operating system like LG, Samsung and Motorola, it has created two tablets lines within its Iconia range.

Great tablet for the price!

This is a great multi-purpose tablet. Materials and finishing are stylish and good quality. The buttons, rocker and ports work flawless and increase the usability and versatility of the tablet. Most main stream apps like Body, Evernote, Netflix, Chrome, USA Today, WSJ, etc will work ok.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 review: Acer Iconia Tab A500

Acer's Iconia Tab offers the features of the Motorola Xoom at iPad-beating prices but weighs in as the heftiest Android tablet yet.
Pros:
  • The Acer Iconia Tab offers Android Honeycomb (upgradable to Android 4.0) on a 10.1-inch screen along with GPS, front and rear cameras, Adobe Flash compatibility, full-size USB host port, HDMI output, and a reasonable price.
Cons:
  • The Iconia Tab is thick, and one of the heaviest consumer tablets we've seen. Some locally stored HD video files wouldn't play properly.

Acer is just one of many companies playing its hand in the rapidly growing tablet space. But can any tablet actually overtake the Apple iPad for the number one position?

It has a better screen than the iPad 2 and it costs half the price. It has a USB port and a SD slot to add memory. It's responsive... except for some pdfs which seam to be slower than on an iPad no matter what program I install..
Pros:
  • Half the price of an iPad
Cons:
  • Updates are coming in slow
