I did a ton of research on this tablet and still had many pleasant surprises when it arrived. Its a solid computer that's not that much heavier than the others (no matter what others say). It was less than half the cost of the I pad 2 and besides the fact I pad has more apps, this thing can do everything it can. The front camera is 5 megabits and takes surprisingly good pictures. Video isn't HD but still darn good. Speakers are good enough to listen to music, it has voice activation for websites and searches, and the screen is very quick to the touch. In fact, I am writing this review on it now. GPS was a little slow to start but as others said use the first time outside, and then its very qui/k to fix after that. I spent ten bucks on maps and took it on a 300 mile trip. It was spot on for every mile. The only things I don't like is that the micro SD card reader slot is hard to use, but if you are going to just use it for extra hard drive space, its great because everything plays flawlessly from the card. The other thing is that it doesn't recognize my Sony HD files from the handycam. But all and all this is z great tablet. Its battery life is about eight hours with multiple programs running! I think I read somewhere that it has two batteries. Would recommend highly!Read full review
I got this shortly after Thanksgiving because it was an amazing deal. The more i play with it and use it the more of an amazing deal it is. This can do everything an Ipad can do and so much more... Can you expand the storage capacity via SD card on an Ipad nope, well you can with this Tablet. Does the Ipad have a FULL USB port, nope, well this tablet does. I love the build quality on this tablet and especially the Brushed Aluminum back. In my opinion the only downside to this tablet is the weight, its not a deal breaker by any means but if it were just a bit lighter it would easily be a home run of a device. if you are looking for a great Honeycomb Tablet with good software at an affordable price this is the one for you.
I decided that I really was not using my laptop for more than surfing and e-mail. So I sold my laptop and decided to buy a tablet. While I like the IPad, it is relatively expensive. I found a good deal on a refurbished tablet through EBay and am happy with my purchase. As a long time (before Windows) user of the Microsoft operating systems, it took a bit of learning to figure out what Android was doing. I'm still learning. In the meantime, I have downloaded a lot of apps and can use the tablet for everything from word processing to surfing. I've used voice recognition and it works well as long as you do not talk too fast. I've taken pictures which were quite good although I am not abandoning my digital camera. I've added a 32Gb SD card and have loaded material through USB. I am very pleased to have a full size USB connector which seems to work flawlessly. Battery life is about 8 hours of continuous use although I really have not taken the time to explore the life with and without WiFi. I do wish the battery was user replaceable but not too many tablets batteries are. We have a wireless network in our house and the tablet sometimes disconnects from it. I am still not sure if it is the tablet or my router. I suspect the tablet since my son and family have no trouble using the wireless network when they visit. This is a minor irritant but one which can be easily corrected by disconnecting the tablet from the WiFi network and then reconnecting it. The tablet is fast which is probably true for most of the tablets using this dual core processor. The screen is crisp and is responsive to touch using my finger or a stylus. I recommend using a stylus which diminishes fingermarks considerably. I bought a case made for the Iconia and it works well. In fact, most everything works as it is supposed to. Whether buying a refurbished item was the right thing to do, I don't know. I do know it saved a lot of money and the item I received can not be distinguished from new. All the original software was on the tablet and upgrades have come through quite well. The operating system and other upgrades have come through with little trouble. I like the Iconia and the only problems I have found so far have been minor.Read full review
This model is what I would call a good tablet, but not great. Older 1 GHz processor, 1200x800 screen, dual cameras including a 5 mp rear camera. Pros: solid build, takes good photos and has flash assist, connects to wifi well. Good for most basic tablet functions. Cons: outdated Android operating system & no current updates, thick heavy tablet, battery life good but not great, processor speed slow by today's standards. If you can buy a good used one for under $90, recommend buy it.

The Iconia A500 gives the most bang for the buck of any tablet. Since it is not supported with endless updates by Acer, its price is most affordable. There is, however, a great deal of support through the network of users and developers found through the most basic search. With USB, MicroUSB, HDMI and docking ports, there is sufficient connectivity to serve a multitude of roles. The Micro SD card allows the tablet to be reconfigured at a moment's notice as a navigation platform, video system, gaming system or for other duty. Available Android software is extensive, and useful. You can spend a lot more and get a lot less.
