Today, Acer announced the Iconia Tab A100. The seven-inch Android 3.2 tablet is the first to run Honeycomb at that size. This release shouldn’t come to anyones surprise. It’s been a few months since Acer first showed off their 7-inch Android slate at MWC, and now its officially up for sale in the United States.
Lets get to the specs, shall we? The A100 sports an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core CPU, a 1024×600 capacitive touch display, a 2MP front-facing camera, 5MP rear camera with 720p HD video capture, and an advertised 5 hours of battery life. That’s not very encouraging considering that larger tablets claim 8 to 11 hours of battery life, but this may offer more portability.
Connectivity for the A100 includes: WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, along with microUSB 2.0 and a microHDMI port for hooking the A100 up to a bigger display. There’s also a gyroscope and digital compass, 3.5mm headphone socket and a docking station connector.
The sticking point for consumers may be the price. Three versions of the Iconia Tab A100 are available, starting at $329.99 for the 8GB flavor, and the 16GB price increases to $349.99. A Walmart exclusive version of the tablet mirrors the specs of the 8GB model. This product will likely be aimed at consumers who don’t feel comfortable spending $500 and up for a tablet. Much like it’s bigger 10.1-inch predecessor, I wouldn’t be at all shocked if this 7-inch version receives a hair cut on its original retail price.
With a price cut, this slate will line up against some of the popular e-readers out there, like the Nook, the HTC Flyer and the original Samsung Galaxy Tab. Tell us if this is a Honeycomb tablet you would pick up? Is the price about right for your pockets?

Así que un poco de mí mismo. Crecí alrededor de las computadoras. Mi abuelo me enseñó los fundamentos de hardware, software, y la construcción de uno mismo. Como un bebé el 87, el 90, siempre habrá esa década dorada. Siempre he sido un jugador casual saltando adelante y atrás entre los juegos de PC y consola de juegos. Los primeros juegos que recuerdo haber jugado estaban Casa de los Horrores y el muchacho de papel de Hugo. Desafortunadamente, moverse y tener que conocer gente nueva me apartó de mi formación técnica / equipo.
