Acer Iconia Tab A500 receiving its portion of Android 3.1 Honeycomb
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsAcerGoogleICONIA TAB A500Android 3.1
The Acer Iconia Tab A500 has started receiving its portion of the Android 3.1 Honeycomb OTA update July 5th, judging from an Acer Germany Facebook page posting. We heard about this update back in May, although the promise was for the first weeks of June; still, beginning of July is not too shabby either.
The Acer Iconia Tab A500 is a 10" Honeycomb slate with nice aluminum back cover and all the bells and whistles one would expect from a self-respecting Android tablet.
At last check it also comes cheaper than most Android tablet offerings, selling for around $450 at places like Best Buy or Amazon, so whoever is the lucky owner of the Iconia Tab A500, the thought that the Android 3.1 Honeycom...

16GB Acer Iconia Tab A500 available in the UK for 349.99 GBP
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcerICONIA TAB A500
Acer launched a new version of its 10-inch tablet, Iconia Tab A500, in the UK. Unlike the original model which comes with 32GB of built-in storage, this one rocks “only” 16 gigs. The good news is that the amount of memory is directly proportional to the price of the device and in that sense this version costs 100 GBP less — 349.99 GBP, to be more precise. That’s 50 GBP less than what Apple is asking for the cheapest model of iPad 2 in the UK.
Other than the amount of storage capacity, there are no other differences between this and the original Iconia Tab A500. Both devices run Android Honeycomb, while featuring such specs as dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 10.1-inch 1280×800 capaci...

Acer Iconia Tab A500 gets the snip down to 16GB
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcerICONIA TAB A500
Acer has unveiled a new version of its Iconia Tab A500, coming with 16GB of internal storage as opposed to the original model's 32GB.
It also comes with a shiny new price tag, available for £350 – that's undercutting the 16GB iPad 2 by £50.
The Iconia Tab A500 is an Android Honeycomb tablet, and the new iteration still comes with a 10.1-inch display, 1080p output, HDMI port and aluminium casing.
Bulky bear
With a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, it should still provide the solid 3.5 star performance that we evaluated on the 32GB model in our official TechRadar review.
Sadly, the tablet's bulky design, which we weren't very impressed with, will also be present and correct in the memory-lig...

Acer Cromia 700 ships this month, 3G pushed back
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcerAC761-1099
Acer's Cromia Chromebook has had its US launch details narrowed down Monday night. The 11.6-inch Chrome OS notebook, now badged as the Cromia 700 or AC700, should be available "this month" in Wi-Fi trim for $350, making it the most affordable Chromebook in the US. The 3G version now has a less definite release date and will only ship sometime in the summer for $450.
The notebook has much the same performance as the Samsung Series 5 and carries the dual-core 1.5GHz Atom chip as well as 2GB of RAM. An emphasis on the cloud leaves just a 16GB SSD for storage. Acer does provide an HDMI video out for full-size mirroring and affords a 1.3-megapixel webcam, a pair of USB ports, and a four-in-one ca...

Android 3.1 leaks for Acer Iconia Tab A500
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsAcerGoogleICONIA TAB A500Android 3.1
Acer's Android 3.1 (codenamed Honeycomb) update for its Iconia Tab A500 tablet has leaked out. It first appeared on the Chinese website bbs.gfan.com While this update isn't official in the sense that Acer has not yet released it via its own channels, it is the real deal. The leaked update.zip file supports multiple languages and including Google Apps. This means that Android 3.1 ROMS like HoneyVillian and Minimalist 3.1 are no longer required for Iconia Tab A500 owners.
The update brings resizable home screen widgets, support for a variety of new input sources and motion events, the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) API for audio, and other improvements that Motorola Xoom and Asus Eee Pad T...

Acer lowering notebook shipments too as iPad bites deeper
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcerAppleiPad
Acer's significantly lowered estimates include full-size notebooks as well, part suppliers divulged Monday night. The PC builder is now planning to drop its total notebook shipments from 6.4 million to 5.4 million. About 80 percent of the drop slipped out to Digitimes is the original netbook plan, but 20 percent will come from regular portables.
Shipments should hit nearly 1.5 million in July and climb to as many as two million notebooks in August with a similar amount in September. The move should be enough to purge Acer's excess stock.
The shortfall is partly attributable to the "abnormalities" the company reported earlier, where unsold stock in Europe is being cleared out at a discount. ...

Elusive Acer Iconia Tab A100 coming to Walmart for $349
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcerICONIA TAB A100-07u08u
Typically, the whole fun of spotting products in the wild is that they haven't been officially announced to the world yet, but in the case of the Acer Iconia Tab A100, we're just amazed it's finally here, and that it's so... unassuming. Just weeks after rearing its head in FCC drawings, the delayed Tab has quietly surfaced at Walmart with a price tag of $349. That sticker there says it all, but for the money you'll get Tegra 2 innards with 8GB of internal storage, a 2 megapixel front-facing camera, and a 5 megapixel one 'round the back. And of course, it runs Android 3.0 at a time when most other 7-inchers still tap out at Android 2.3 -- possibly the reason it was delayed in the first place....
