Acer Iconia Tab A100, the 7inch Honeycomb tab from Acer will finally be making an appearance in August. This is pretty much the same as the 10inch Acer Iconia Tab A500 with a few toned down features such as RAM. The A100 tab will be the first 7inch tab in the market with Honeycomb on board – just the thing many people have been waiting for. Other 7inch tabs only feature Android 2.2 or Android 2.3.
Acer Iconia Tab A100 was announced in February but the release was delayed more than once because of supply issues and Honeycomb compatibility problems. With the latest Android 3.2 update that brings 7inch form factor compatibility with Honeycomb, these issues seem to be part of the past. Porting the latest OS version on the A100 tab caused another month’s delay but that’s something no one minded waiting for.
A leak at Walmart had set the price of Acer Iconia Tab A100 at $350 but it looks like the tab could launch with an even more competitive price. The 16GB WiFi Acer Iconia Tab A100 could retail for $300 while the 32GB version may sell for $350. The 3G version will probably be $100 dearer.
Do you need reminding of what the Acer Iconia Tab A100 offers? It sports a nifty 7inch LCD capacitive display with 1024×600p resolution, Android 3.2, 512MB RAM, 1GHz processor, 2mp front facing and 5mp rear facing camera, 16GB/32GB internal storage, micro-SD card slot for up to 32GB internal memory, 1080p HD video playback capability, Dolby Mobile sound, WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, HDMI port, mini-USB and full-sized USB port.
Acer Iconia Tab A100 will have many takers because there are quite e few fans out there who prefer the portability 7inch tablets bring. Ten inches of glass is too unwieldy for them and doesn’t come in the “portable” category as far as they are concerned. Well, now they have something to be happy about.
