7-Inch Acer Iconia Tab A100 Tablet With "Honeycomb" Launching In Late April / May

Digitimes is reporting that Acer has another tablet in the works and should be launching in late April or May. It's the 7-inch Iconia Tab A100 tablet which we've heard about before. Said tablet will sport a Tegra 2 CPU along with the Android "Honeycomb" OS which is pretty impressive considering it'll be priced lower than the A500 model. We've already seen a few prices for this tablet at €349 and £299 which isn't bad. This model is intended for the female demographic since it'll be easier for them to carry around.

Acer Iconia Tab A100 Hits Amazon UK For £300, Available April 20th

Amazon UK has listed a new tablet on their own website. It's the 7-inch Acer Iconia A100 tablet that runs Android "Honeycomb" and it looks like it'll be available on April 20th for £300 ($483 USD) which is a pretty good price. The A100 features a dual-core Tegra 2 chipset, 8GB of internal storage, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and dual cameras so it's actually a capable tablet. Check it out on Amazon UK.

Four Android Tablets Get Priced For Europe; Acer A100, Transformer, XOOM, and Optimus Pad

A bunch of upcoming tablets for Europe has just been priced. It's everything you see above so that includes the €349 Acer Iconia A100, €399 Asus Eee Pad, €699 Motorola XOOM, and €849 LG Optimus Pad. It's actually pretty surprising that the A100 will be so inexpensive since it's running Android "Honeycomb" which means that the price could actually be right. The one that surprised me the most is that the 3D-capable Optimus Pad will cost so much money so I doubt that'll be flying off of the shelves. The unknown Eee Pad could actually be the Transformer so that's a decent price for a Tegra 2 tablet.

Of course, what we're missing here is the release dates which are still unknown right now. Some of these were supposed to be available in March but that's looking doubtful. Expect a Q2 launch; yes, I'm being vague.

Acer Iconia A100 Will Be a "Honeycomb" Powered Tablet With Tegra 2

Acer didn't just announce their 4.8-inch smartphone at MWC this year. They also announced what you see above which is being touted as the Iconia A100. This one's a 7-inch tablet from the company and it's going to be running Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" when it launches - even though it's running version 2.2 on display at the event right now. If Acer can get the software working perfectly then this is another tablet that should be pretty good this year.

The Acer Iconia A100 will be sporting a 7-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 CPU, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, an HDMI output, a gyroscope, and the awesome OS, of course. It's pretty promising but I hope that it'll come in black with a sub $500 price tag. We'll see what happens in the future. Check out the video below.
