One of the cheapest Android tablets from a major vendor.
Abstract: Last month, the Motorola Xoom was the only officially sanctioned Android 3.0 tablet available in the United States. Now there are four -- the T-Mobile G-Slate arrived last week, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 this week, and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is o...

Surprisingly good LCD screen and speakersSpeedy Tegra 2 chipFull-size USB port for expanded connectivity
Sub-par battery lifePoor cameras and minor build issuesVery little native software available
All in all, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is a solid piece of hardware, if you have to have an Android tablet right now, but we don't know if we could recommend it in good conscience over some of the competitors on offer. Honestly, we're still slightly iffy ab...
Software customizations are helpful, USB host port and microSD card slot
Fine touchscreen grid is bothersome on display, Heavier and bulkier than other other tablets

Good-looking, brushed-metal design, Excellent audio quality, Easy media sharing and streaming, Full-size USB port
Heavier than other 10-inch tablets, Poor camera placement
The Acer Iconia Tab A500 definitely hits all the right notes for a good price: solid performance, a sturdy aluminum design, easy media and data sharing, plus a full-size USB port. We wish it were lighter and that the cameras were better, but consumers ...

The Acer Iconia Tab offers Android Honeycomb (upgradable to Android 4.0) on a 10.1-inch screen along with GPS, front and rear cameras, Adobe Flash compatibility, full-size USB host port, HDMI output, and a reasonable price
The Iconia Tab is thick, and one of the heaviest consumer tablets we've seen. Some locally stored HD video files wouldn't play properly
Acer's Iconia Tab offers the features of the Motorola Xoom at iPad-beating prices but weighs-in as the heftiest Android tablet yet.
Abstract: The Android Honeycomb defeatists have already declared the Xoom a flop . While this might be true in financial circles, where savvy investors are looking for the companies that offer the best combination of high margins, and willing hordes of zombie like ...
