Acer has officially announced that they will soon be launching the Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Games Edition in time for the 2012 Olympics. The device is the same Acer Iconia Tab A510 that we’ve had for quite some time, save for an Olympics logo on the back and completely stock Android.
Doesn’t sound like much of a big deal unless you value that last bit (and we’re sure a few of you do). No pricing can be had yet but you can expect it to land before the end of this quarter (which is the end of this month if you haven’t been keeping up). Read on for full press details.

Acer Introduces the ICONIA TAB A510 Olympic Games Edition – This ultimate tool for the road features very long battery life, quad-core performance, and mobile productivity tools
HANNOVER, GERMANY
Acer introduces the ICONIA TAB A510 Olympic Games Edition. Celebrating Acer’s partnership with the Olympic Movement, the design unites the Acer and Olympic logos, and is available in black or silver. The ICONIA TAB A510 is the company’s newest Android Ice Cream Sandwich-based tablet. It features 15 hours of battery life for true all-day usability, a powerful NVIDIA® TEGRA® 3 quad-core processor, and the latest tools for mobile productivity, sharing and more.
The ICONIA TAB A510’s 9800mAh battery supports up to 15 hours of HD video playback. The extra power doesn’t add bulk to the tablet because parallel battery packaging keeps it slim.
A powerful NVIDIA® TEGRA® 3 quad-core processor executes a smart workload distribution with more power and less battery consumption. It handles heavy multitasking, HD videos, console-like gaming, and faster web browsing, while a fifth “companion” core takes care of low-power tasks like music playback and active standby.
Mobile productivity apps include Acer Print, which makes wireless printing easier with support for various document formats, photos and web pages. Acer Print is compatible with 87% of brand-name printers on the current market.
Polaris® Office, meanwhile, is optimized for tablet-based work. It provides practical improvements for editing and reading MS Office documents on the go.
Noise suppression and echo cancellation technologies enhance audio recording, and video calls in HD Voice are excellent. Superior audio enjoyment for music, movies and more comes courtesy of Dolby® Mobile 3+ with premium 5.1-channel HD output.
The ICONIA TAB A510 Olympic Games Edition starts a series of products that Acer designed specially for the Olympic Games in London. Available for consumers starting from March, this is the perfect tablet for cheering on your favorite athletes during the biggest sports event of 2012.
This tablet will be a BEAST. Much like the 1st A500.. Which I own :]
The a510 hasn’t been released yet. The a500 is what we’ve had for quite some time.
