Acer Iconia A500
While Apple's iOS is found on a solitary phone, Android can be found on tons of devices – so it's perhaps no surprise to see the same strategy in the tablet marketplace. Read more ...
PROSAndroid works well; decent media performance; a bit cheaper than rivals
CONSBut it feels cheaper, too; confusion of apps at times; a tad glitchy

Acer Iconia Tab A500
The Keyboard The Android 3.0 Honeycomb keyboard is very different to what we're used to seeing in Google's native OS ... in that it's actually not bad at all. In this tablet, the data-entry interface feels more like an iPad/iPhone but, then again why not, since Apple appears to be on to a winner. Read more ...
PROSThe screen isn't perfect but it's still very good and highly contrasted, High-quality build and finish, Smooth Android interface with nice additions from Acer, Plenty of connections and good sound output, Good for web browsing and games
CONSBattery life is OK but could be better, Native multimedia compatibility, Camera is too red or too blue, Honeycomb needs to mature

Acer Iconia Tab A500 review Review
At the current prices, we reckon the Motorola Xoom has the edge on the Acer Iconia Tab A500. The Xoom costs about £30 more, but you'll get a sleeker-looking, lighter and slightly smaller tablet. Read more ...
PROSFast and fun to use, Great Web browser with Flash support, USB port makes syncing easy, Slightly cheaper than the Xoom
CONSGood Honeycomb apps and widgets are currently hard to find, Plastic case looks fairly cheap, Heavier and larger than the Xoom

Acer A500 - Fantastic product
I'd been toying with the idea of buying a tablet PC for some time, as my old laptop had seen better days. I'd spent hours playing with ipads and various other tablets before I came across the Acer A500. My initial thought was that an Acer product would be inferior to other "Name Brands". Read more ...

Yes its a bit weighty and yes the screen is great but the real issue is Android Market, which for the Acer is absolutely hopeless. About 90% of apps (free and paid) can't be downloaded and all you get is an error message saying "Can't be downloaded in your country" or "Not available for your... Read more ...
