I chose the Acer Iconia A100 based on its great reviews on other sites (including some tech-specific sites), and because it was much more affordable than an Apple ipad 2, which would have been my first choice, if I had had the money. I wanted a tablet that could do everything a Kindle Fire or Nook could do, PLUS forward and rear-facing cameras and video recording, for easy, all-in-one-place photo-taking and uploading, and video-chatting, etc. I decided that I preferred the smaller 7" size of this tablet, which makes it much more portable, too. This is my first tablet computer. I love it! It seems to work just about as well as an Apple, in terms of great touch response, good wi-fi reception, and the screen/image is clear and bright. But, being used to a PC, with Windows-Vista, I have not figured out everything there is to know about using it, so I am not getting the maximum benefit out of it. That's my only real complaint about this tablet - it's not so easy to learn to use. Getting online is easy, getting android apps is fairly easy (plus I've got Kindle on it, so can get any Kindle e-book), but saving/naming/organizing/accessing files is the part I haven't figured out yet. I don't know how to upload photos from the Acer Iconia to Facebook yet. (I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.) It does take great photos - and the rear camera has a built in LED flash! I had to download a special app to watch HULU shows on it, and after downloading that app, I suddenly wasn't able to listen to my favorite radio station's web-based radio broadcast anymore. So I guess there are some compatibility issues between various apps. One other drawback is that the battery needs recharging fairly frequently. A charge only lasts about 5 to 9 hours, depending how much you use it. But since I usually have access to an outlet to recharge it when I need to, that hasn't been a problem for me. OK, last drawback - it seems that these tablets are no longer being made! It was apparently just a limited one-time production! So, if you want one, you're going to have to get it used. But it's well worth anything up to $300, as of this writing! I believe it is THE BEST tablet of its size!Read full review
I like this product. It's cheap and has a NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor in it, and runs Android ICS stock (no rooting or hacking or installing other boot loaders and ROMs necessary). But it has a few hardware warts: 1. The LCD and touch digitizer aren't the best tech. For example, the viewing angle of the LCD is not that great so it looks a little funky when you turn it vertically (just the viewing angle difference between your right and left eye makes it look funny). The touchscreen is sometimes quirky and sensitive to other electronic disturbances like bad power supplies. 2. The battery is very low capacity for a device that ideally spends most of it's day untethered. I get maybe 7 hours usage with WiFi and bluetooth off. 4 hours or less with WiFi on. That's not bad (it's like most laptops these days) but it could be a lot better; my Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX has 2x the battery life of this device.Read full review
I believe Demographic and how good you are with computers is important in a review. I'm a male in my 20's and after I graduated from Stanford I now attend UM's Miller School of Medicine. In my first two years of College I was a Student assistant when it came to all the computers in the largest Media Room. About the A100 8GB with 7inch Screen. This is a gift I received on Christmas from my Grandmother, The most sophisticated computer she uses is a electronic Calculator. I'm not sure how much she paid for it, however since she spends around the same amount every year if I subtract the value of the gift cards I would guess $240-$270 including Tax. Well, my grandma did not know that I had an IPAD2 64GB WIFI/3G. If I didn't have a rule about not returning presents I would have, my only exception to that is to return it for the same item if the item given to me doesn't work right. In this case, I'm glad I have that rule. A 7" Screen sounded way to small, my phone has a 4.3" Screen, so my tablet was only going to be 2.7"s larger? Is that even worth it? I thought. Turns out, it is worth it. I was very surprised that this Tablet ran HoneyComb, a pleasant Surprise. According to Acer this is also the first android tablet that runs Android 3.2 It's 7-inch (1024 x 600) display, and the fact that it's back is slick and its' less than half a inch thick means my large hands, well, skinny but Long Fingers made it where even though in landscape mode some with smaller hands might need some practice using it with one hand, portrait mode is great for people with smaller hands. A Great Surprise is the Camera's, it has 2, a 5MP and a 2MP. Both take extremely Great Photos for a tablet. It's skinniness along with my large hands meant that I feel more comfortable with it having a rubbery Back. Performance wise, if I didn't know better I would think it had twice the processing power, as there is absolutely no lag, part of this is probably due to the fact that it's running Android 3.2/Honeycomb/and it's no Pre-installed apps or widgets that you don't want. The Screen is nice and bright, It's compact size makes it less of a burden. There is also a 10inch version of this tablet, and there is a 16GB 7 and 10" version. I like the 7" version, 4.3" of cell phone screen is HUGE, in fact, I cannot think of another cell phone that has anything bigger than 4", I don't know what size the new 4S Variant of the Iphones' screen size is, but it's less than 4", I think it's 3.5", however I may be wrong there. My point is even though my phone has a HUGE 4.3" Screen, this 7 inch tablet looks to be at LEAST twice the size of my 4.3" Cell Screen, As Far as I know, 4.3" is the largest Screen on any phone. Much larger than an Iphone Screen and my HUGE cell screen of 4.3" seems tiny compared to the 7" tablet. I love the Micro HDMI connector which allows you to connect this to your TV, assuming your TV has an HDMI port. The 16GB 7" versions RETAIL price is only $20 more. Most Android apps aren't that large and the A100 has a Micro SD Card slot for expandability, so if you buy the 8GB version you can purchase Micro SD cards from 256MB to 64GB, I have a 32GB Micro SD Card in mine. It also runs better as a reader than most Tablets. Bottom line, Normally, when I want something I don't buy it till I can get the best This may not be considered the "best" but,I LOVE it. this came as a wonderful surprise, as I now use my IPAD2 & the A100 about the same. I have found this a100 an essential now.Read full review
The market has changed and in times like this it is very hard to adjust, especially when sales are dismal and you might have to consider using your working capital to pay the rent. But this is also the time to develop new concepts and perhaps even come up the “widget” that everyone must have. I began to look into using a tablet for "portability". Especially now that I took to using a scooter to get around I want to carry the lightest load possible.. After weeks of looking and studying the concept of the "Android Market" I reached the conclusion that tablets were more of a novelty item and could rarely be used to run a business. I ended up buying an Acer A500 for my girlfriend on her birthday. Of course the A500 was my girlfriends gift but it gave me the opportunity to test a tablet's capabilities and short falls. As I thought you really can't do much on a tablet. I found the 10.1 screen a bit clunky to handle constantly. Holding with one hand and one finger typing just doesn't do it for me. But I had uploaded my sales catalog pictures to my Google based Picassa Web Albums and played with the the concept of presenting those pictures during sales presentations. I also liked the idea of going "paper less" and saw the potential for a tablet after trying to put my laptop on the sales counter and input customer information on it. I found the laptop too big to fit the counter. In due course I concluded that a lighter 7" tablet that I could hold in one hand and bring close enough to easily read would suit me. The 7" tablet is actually small enough to hold and type using your thumbs the same way you would on an iPhone. As I compared tablets I ran across the Acer Iconia A100 and liked the fact that it had the memory capability of 64 gigs. I liked the finish which seems to give it a very professional look. The tablet also felt comfortable in my hands. It has a number of other features like USB port, mini HDMI and two very good cameras and it's all managed by a pretty reliable processor, this is "hardware" and when evaluating this one must think in physical terms such as ergonomics, expandability, weight and of course the ability to run programs. Overall the Iconia A100 offered better hardware features than the iPad and it became my first choice. My concept is only as good as the application available. I decided these were the things I wanted to accomplish. 1-One point entry: It’s too much work to enter customer data into a accounting/sales application, then into a customer data applicaion to send mail and contact. Of course you also need to carry inventory etc. I was trying to have everything in one application. 2-Ability to import current customer information from existing applications. 3-When sending customer receipts to be able to attach additional pictures to remind customer of other items you have to offer. The Acer's pre-loaded applications include "Contacts" that you can import from your "Google" based contacts. I tried out a number of application “trial editions” here are some: Docs To Go: Excellent for writing/sharing and editing documents on the go. Printer Share: For printing out receipts and documents Gallery (Pre-Loaded): Used to present images of inventory. Mobile Biz: Sales receipt generator syncs customer info as well.Read full review
I bought this tablet for my 20 yr old son bcuz i knew he would LOVE IT.I already had one and i knew it would be a hit with him. he's a gadget head just like me. we both have the same galaxy s 2 phones... anyways, this tablet does it all. dual core 1.0ghz processor, tegra 2 video processor, plenty of ram. this tablet initially came with the enhanced honeycomb version 3.2 not the troublesome 3.0. it was quickly updated OTA over the air by acer to 4.0 ICS android. it has 8gb internal memory with a memory card slot that can read up to 32gb... a must have. this tablet easily fits in the back pocket of my blue jeans but don't sit on it bcuz it doesn't have a true glass display. it fits in my back pocket with a blurex protective case installed... thats handy. the surface is smooth and slick so a case is recommended. the 4.0 upgrade fixes issues with the camera which is a plus. for versatility, portability, and sturdiness, you cant go wrong with this tablet. only recommendations i would make to acer would be louder speaker system and a longer battery life but the battery is sufficient. with regards to teh battery, they also could have made the charging cable another 18 inches longer. besides that, this little android tablet is the one to have....Read full review
