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 A500

While Apple's iOS is found on a solitary phone, Android can be found on tons of devices – so it's perhaps no surprise to see the same strategy in the tablet marketplace.

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.

Not Completely Sold Yet

This is my first tablet after years of using laptops. First, I must say this "refurbished" Iconia tab looked brand new right out of the box. I have an Android smartphone that I rooted and installed a custom ROM, so that was the first thing I did with the Acer.
Pros:
  • bright screen
  • battery life
  • value for money
Cons:
  • Preloaded Programs
  • Size & Weight
  • some android apps

Pros:
  • Full USB port

  • amazing graphics
Cons:
  • none

Good fun product, so far no bad points.

I'm having a great time with this product, I bought it mainly to enable to read books, which I've managed to do very successfully, but the fact that I can have a bit of quiet music in the background makes it so much more enjoyable.
