    Acer Iconia Smart, Iconia Tab 100 and Iconia Tab 500

    It is a good news for Tech-Savvy guys that Acer has launched Acer Iconia Tab 100 and Acer Iconia Tab 500 in India. Soon you will get a chance to grab your copy of the featured Tablet PC by Acer. Acer too enters the market of Android providing the best models of Tabs. Tablets are getting good response as an innovative approach towards portable media. After the release of iPad the market of Tablets boomed and after introduction of Android the graph reached much higher. New companies enter with technical giants to provide the best possible gadgets with maximum support. The same impact was also on the prices also. Now you have a choice to with your favorite’s company’s model.

    Acer Iconia Tab 100 and Acer Iconia Tab 500 are two Tablets released by Acer in India. With this Acer also released Iconia Smart a Smartphone with unique features and support. These three products are released and advertisement for the same is expected in coming weeks. I had posted a much detailed view on the same below with a short review on each of the models. With a preview you can get more idea about the models and features.

    Operating System

    The A100 will be launched Iconia with Google Android OS 3.0 Honeycomb, the first version of Google's mobile operating system designed specifically for tablets. This OS takes advantage of the breadth of the display of the tablets, to provide a new and redesigned space for innovative applications and navigate 3D carousels. Google Maps offers 3D-like effect, and Google e-books look great.

    Unfortunately, the prototype or pre-production model had a previous version of Android, so they really could not test the actual performance of the tablet to run the new software. But the dual-core processor of the A100 should help Iconia for Honeycomb SO perfect performance. Either way, the tablet performs smoothly and quickly when you play video and surf the Web.

    Social Networking

    Acer also added its own software on top of Android. The main screen is divided into four sections: games, magazines, electronic books, music, videos and photos. In the last section is an application for social networking, Social Jogger brings Facebook, Twitter and other social networks-all in one place. Also includes 'clear.fi', an application that lets you share photos, videos and music over a network with other devices Acer.

    7-inch size is ideal for everyone. You will notice that it is somewhat small, but it is easier to transport a 10-inch model, although you might think that is too big to put in your pocket, but not big enough for comfortable viewing. If the smaller size is not for you, Acer tablet created basically the same format of 10 inches, comes to the A500.

    Availability & Price

    Although the A100 and A500 Iconia have metal frames, both have a plastic texture around the edges. While the intention is not to draw hasty conclusions about the quality of the devices. We learned that one of the pre-production models is broken simply by pulling the headphone jack of 3.5 mm. This is something that an average user can do a couple of times a day. We expect that the tablets are ready to be sold do not have this problem.

    It is been found that all the three products will be available for Indian Market in 4 to 6 weeks. At the moment there is no exact price specified for the same. But an amount was leaked for Iconia Tab 500 which might begin with a price of 27,990 INR i.e. $630.

    • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
    • DLNA certified
    • 3G HSDPA 14.4 Mbps
    • HDMI port

    When it comes to big screen, the manufacturer has not done in half measure because the dresses Smartphone with a touch screen of 4.8 inches (12.2 cm) with a new resolution of 1024 x 480 pixels. Yes, it's a bit like that but saw huge decision in your hands (141.7 x 13.3 x 64 for 170 grams) and the possibilities are interesting product. For example, watching a movie is pure fun (DivX support, etc.). Limit as to the cinema with a ratio of 21:9 th and the presence of an HDMI port for large screens. More web browsing, viewing menus and applications offer a more visually important. Somehow, this is a significant advantage for the user looking for a while.

    The Acer Iconia Smart is a mobile measuring 141.7 x 64.5 x 13.6 mm and a weight of 185gms. It embeds digital camera 8 megapixels, and an MP3 music player. Memory is expandable via microSD (TransFlash) (up to 32 GB). These major points are 8 megapixel sensors, DivX Player, Large touch screen. The Acer Iconia Smart is compatible with Bluetooth, wifi, HSDPA, EDGE, UMTS.


    The software part is fast, ergonomic and convincing with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the interface of Acer IU 4.5. However, I do not hide that I've never been a big fan of the interface builders, I think it literally alters the Android. What, I'm a purist? It's more that manufacturers bring their personal touches to products, but should that monitoring is still a little further from all manufacturers. A fairly robust processor and known to be especially built in HD HTC Desire, this is the Qualcomm MSM8255 clocked at 1 GHz. Unfortunately, the RAM has not been revealed. As for the graphics chip is like on SHD: the Adreno 205.

    Unlike the iPad, the tablet Iconia A100 is capable of playing video and flash animation for a full Web browsing experience. The device is smaller than the iPad, however, their real rival is the excellent 7-inch tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab. Acer Iconia Tab A100 is the 7 inch version of the model Iconia Tab A500 (10.1 inches). Android 3.0 Aboard the tablet with an overlay own Acer improves the user experience. The plug-in Adobe Flash Player and the Android Market are available. This version differs from the A101 Tab Iconia the lack of 3G chip. For the rest, its characteristics are identical in all respects. Both are equipped with Wi-Fi b / g and n and Bluetooth 2.1.

    In terms of connectivity, the tablet has a microphone output HDMI (1080p compatible), a microphone port USB 2.0 (which is not compatible with USB Host Mass Storage USB but which allows connection to a PC for data exchange), a dock connector for connection of accessories (Dock / Docking Station) and finally a card reader micro SD / SDHC which will increase capacity up to 32GB disk.

    The advantage of this 7-inch tablet is that it is much easier to argue that a larger device. You can hold the A100 Iconia easily with one hand while the other can type or browse through the options, if that does not seem comfortable enough, you can hold it with both hands and you can access the entire keyboard only using your thumbs.

    • Keep your social life under complete control with SocialJogger, Acer's ultra-social application that shows live updates from your Facebook, YouTube and Flickr contacts on the same page, allowing you to follow, comment and share content with your friends from a single screen.
    • The 10.1” high-resolution multi-touch screen and ultra-sensitive gyro meter makes the Acer ICONIA TAB A500 a formidable gaming platform with premium HD arcade games and complex online 3D games running so fast and with so much detail they almost leap out of the screen!


    Tablet Tab Iconia A500 Acer is not the only tablet Tegra 2 + Android Honeycomb, but this is the first to be available from us at a rather attractive price saw its specifications. The Acer A500 Iconia Tab Android 3.0 Honeycomb, has a capacitive touch screen from 10.1'' WXGA LCM (1280 x 800), a processor Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual-core 1GHz with 1GB of RAM, a capacity 32GB, a microSD slot, Dolby Mobile, a webcam with Auto Focus + Flash back 5M Pixel, 2M Pixel webcam in front, a USB Host port, Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI output and a 3260mAh battery, all in sizes from 260 x 177 x 13.3 mm for 730g.

    The screen that is bright enough Iconia Tab, making it sometimes difficult to use in bright light, cons by its viewing angle is very wide and contrasting colors rather well although a little clearer. Honeycomb (latest version installed on the shelf) appears to be particularly responsive to the A500, but Google has not yet issued any code of their OS, customization by manufacturers is not yet possible and I want to say great . Indeed, despite some minor bugs and crashes through it, and there, everything is pretty stable, fast and ultimately very ergonomic.

    The Google OS is still a bit young, applications dedicated to the shelves are not very numerous (about 200) and in general charge, but applications for Smartphone’s are often compatible, even if sometimes it makes strange things. Applications "basic" Android (Gmail, GTalk, Gallery, Market, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, YouTube ...) are all optimized for the tablets are completely different version of their text and their ergonomics are greatly improved. Like any Android device, the offices are easily customizable and many widgets are available, including animated widgets.


    Acer has added some useful applications such as full file manager (ES Explorer), a transmission device (DLNA Clear.Fi) to read its file photo / video / music streaming home, a photo application for use with the accelerometer (3D Photo Browser) memo player to view your media content that are locally (video, music, photo), or the possibility of moving the tablet as a media server, but also unnecessary applications such as offices which are themed double employment with those of Android. Also note the application DoctoGo pre-installed in its light version, i.e. only in view mode.

    The A500 embarks Iconia Tab 32GB of internal memory database, but it is possible to add a microSD card if you lack the space where you want to view content from it (photo, video, music, documents), and even connect a hard drive or a USB port via its USB Host (warning, it will be formatted in FAT32 for it to be readable).
