Acer Iconia Tab A500

When the Android smartphone OS matured, the market was flooded with a whole load of new mobiles. Now, with the arrival of Android Honeycomb, Google's specially designed tablet OS, the same thing seems to be happening with...
Pros:
  • The screen isn't perfect but it's still very good and highly contrasted
  • High-quality build and finish
  • Smooth Android interface with nice additions from Acer
  • Plenty of connections and good sound output
  • Good for web browsing and games
Cons:
  • Battery life is OK but could be better
  • Native multimedia compatibility
  • Camera is too red or too blue
  • Honeycomb needs to mature

The screen graphics are very good, and the control system is very responsive - but can be fooled if a thumb holding the side of the screen rests on the screen. The protective case is very good, and makes holding the tablet even more commfortable and secure.
Pros:
  • Comfortable to hold and use
  • Voice input (a very neat addition) is quite precise - unless it picks up the TV sound as well..

if you can control the urge to use the A500 when first purchased...charge the battery completely before turning it on. I get about 10 to 11 hours of batterly life on each charge. get a tight fitting case to protect the A500. super antenna for the WIFI..
Pros:
  • great battery life if charged properly when first purchased
  • great screen quality
  • great video quality
Cons:
  • none so far after 2 months of ownership

Acer Iconia Tab A500 review

Acer's Iconia Tab A500 was just one among many contenders to Apple's tablet crown at Mobile World Congress back in January . Some, such as the much-hyped Motorola Xoom, failed to impress, and even the excellent Asus Eee pad Transformer couldn't manage to topple the mighty Apple iPad 2 .

Acer Iconia Tab A500

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 is Acer's 10.1-inch Android tablet - as designated by the "A" in it's product name, unlike the "W" of the W500 tablet that we reviewed previously. At 10.1-inches it faces a number of Honeycomb rivals such as the Asus Eee Pad (Transformer), the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung...
Pros:
  • USB
  • HDMI
  • working microSD slot
  • Honeycomb hasn't been too badly interfered with
Cons:
  • Acer's software additions are largely dismissible and bring little value
  • design is rather clunky
  • size
  • short power lead
  • poor video support out of the box

Excellent but incompleted

ACER ICONIA W500 is really good and has Windows 7. It is upgradable to WIN 8 and believe it works wonder in WIN8. It is a mini computer with touch facility. This TAB is good and friendly.
