Acer A500 and A100 tablets will (finally) get ICS by the end of April
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 20, 2012 8 Comments">8
The Acer Iconia Tab A500, A100, and A200 have all been released in the first months of 2011, and, at the time, they were considered fairly advanced pieces of technology. Acer’s Honeycomb tablets have been surprisingly popular last year, attracting users with a well balanced mix of high performance, cool looks, and decent pricing. Fast forward twelve months and you get a whole different tablet landscape, one where dual-core gadgets running Android Honeycomb are considered outdated. Unfortunately, we can’t say that Acer did much to change this opinion, leaving its tablet duo to run that old raggedy Honeycomb. By now, with all …

by Christine Torralba on Jan 25, 2012 2 Comments">2

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, …
