Acer Iconia Tab A500

   Another tablet announced by Acer in Barcelona was the Iconia Tab A500. Now this is the same with A100 as has almost the same technical specifications but with a larger screen size and all packed in an aluminium body.

-- DISPLAY:  TFT capacitive, multi-touch screen, 1024 x 800 pixels, 10.1  inches.
-- CPU:  nVidia Tegra 250 1GHz dual-core processor.
-- GPU: nVidia GeForce
-- MEMORY:  1 GB DDR2 RAM.
-- STORAGE:  16 GB or 32 GB, micro SD up to 32 GB.
-- CAMERA:  Primary - 5 MP, autofocus, LED flash, HD video recording (1080p),
Secondary - 2 MP, video chat.
-- CONNECTIVITY: 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, micro-USB, HDMI port, A-GPS, 3.5 mm headphone jack.
-- SENSORS:  Gyroscope, Accelerometer.
-- BATTERY:  no official details.
-- MULTIMEDIA: no other details.
-- OS:  Android Honeycomb 3.0, Adobe Flash 10.1, Acer UI.
-- APPLICATIONS:  Google Apps, social networking, clear.fi, SocialJogger.

   I wish they gave more information so I can appreciate or criticize more. Unlike on A100 there are no details regarding any Dolby Mobile sound system which I see it as a big minus. The plus I see is the screen size which makes the device superior for watching movies, playing games and reading books. Also the RAM memory is very powerful with 1 GB DDR2 which makes it one of the main competitors for the Motorola XOOM. Acer Iconia Tab A500 should be available starting with April this year.
