Acer Iconia Tab A500
Last updated: Jun 22nd, 2011.
The Acer Iconia Tab A500 is one of Acer's first Android 3.0+ tablets. It's a 10.1 inch device that has a lot of the same specs that current generation tablets have - NVIDIA's dual-core Tegra 2 processor, dual cameras, 1GB of RAM, a 1280x800 display, 16GB of internal storage and more. This model is WiFi only, which is the only thing differentiating itself from the A501.
Reviewers praised the device for being a solid outing at an affordable price point, but as with most first-gen tablets, cited a lack of incentive to go with Acer instead of their better-priced competitors. The A500 was made available April 26th, 2011.
