The Android tablet wars are starting to heat up, and Acer has entered the fray with its Iconia Tab A500. Priced at $449--$50 lower than the iPad 2--this slickly designed 10.1-inch Honeycomb slate features a brushed-metal design and a full-size USB port, plus Nvidia's powerful Tegra 2 processor. But...

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 is the latest in the parade of Android 3.0 tablets, and with a price that undercuts Apple's iPad 2 by $50, the $450 Iconia Tab (price as of 4/23/2011) distinguishes itself in a crowded field. This tablet earns props for its many strengths, such as its inclusion of both a USB...

If I only owned this tablet and an iPad 2, would I use this tablet more often than the iPad? Personally, no, but that’s because I’m hardcore Android Community and I’ve gotta represent. Might someone else use the iPad 2 more? Probably. Apple has a much more massive hold over the world’s...

This is one of the most functional and beautiful tablets I found when shopping around for a tablet. The USBalone puts it miles ahead of most other tablets, and all other features are as good as, or better , the competition.

This is one of the first tablets that came to the market mind you, so this isn't your Motorola Xyboard or Toshiba Excite. With a 10.1" WXGA screen coated with Corning Gorilla Glass, it can deliver a crisp display with the help of the nVidia graphics card and Tegra 2 processor under the hood....

The apps for free in the android market are the good thing, there are a lot that are useful. Is great the portability of the tab, y es muy farol el usarla, me gusta mucho, es como de película.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 was my first tablet. When I have bought it I didn't know what I want from my tablet. I didn't even know would it come in handy for me or not. After few months I can say that I need a tablet, but another one. Hardware A quality case doesn't have any gaps or creaks....

Great product. Very productive and also affordable. Nice screen and also a nice company. I love the nice metal back. Unfortunately, it's heavy and it's also a little awkward to hold.

This thing works great. I like taking it on trips to look photos I have taken and to upload them to Facebook while away.
