Acer Iconia Tab A200 Gets Bluetooth SIG Approval
by Conan Hughes on Nov 06, 2011 0 Comments">0
The A series of Acer’s tablets apparently has a new member joining the flock soon. Known as the Acer Iconia Tab A200, the upcoming Android tablet has been submitted to, and consequently certified by, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) . The Bluetooth standards body has described the A200 on its website, with an image included, as lightweight with a size smaller than a magazine’s. As such, a 10-inch display seems exaggerated, whereas a diagonal measure between 7 to 8.9 inches is more likely. The design is awfully similar to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, with curved edges and a thinner, …
