Acer Iconia Tab A510 with Tegra 3, Android 4.0

Acer Iconia Tab, acer iconia tab a510, AcerIconiaTab, AcerIconiaTabA510,  

The curious thing about the Acer Iconia Tab A510 is that it's been out in the open for months -- we've even handled it -- but for whatever reason, Acer's never publicly acknowledged it as the successor to last year's A500. 

 

When we got hands-on at CES, for example, it wasn't at Acer's suite, but NVIDIA's booth (this is Acer's first Tegra 3 tablet, don'tcha know). 

 

Well, the company's finally ready to come out and say, "Yes, we made this thing." The A510 is up for pre-order today in the US and Canada, with a price of $450. Though you can get it in black or white, it's available in one 32GB configuration for now. To recap, this is a quad-core slate with 1GB of RAM, a 10.1-inch (1280 x 800) display, 5-megapixel auto-focusing rear camera and a single-megapixel shooter up front. And though it loses the USB 2.0 port that made the A500 fairly distinctive, it gains a battery rated for 12 hours of video playback -- a good thing, since it'll have stiff competition from ASUS, Apple and Samsung in the endurance department. Acer also confirmed the tablet will ship with Android 4.0, with the company's usual light OS tweaks in tow. Still no word on when, exactly, it'll ship, but if you want to get a feel for it in the meantime be sure to hit up our hands-on from CES if you missed it the first time around.

Acer Iconia Tab A200

Acer Iconia Tab A200 Review. All the talk in Tabletland is of quad-core processors, but right now they're still thin on the ground. The Acer Iconia A200 is driven by a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2, so it's not the most powerful tablet around but it's still a great performer, and runs on the latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich.

Acer A200 – substantial

First impressions might suggest there's little to get excited about. It's chubby, although not that heavy, with a coloured, soft plastic rear panel and flat edges left and right, rather than the tapered extremities favoured by more expensive rivals.

Acer A200 – camera

We should also break the news now that it doesn't have a rear-facing camera, only a front-facing 2MP webcam. Normally that wouldn't be much of an issue, but it is a little disappointing here as Ice Cream Sandwich comes with some nifty new camera tricks built-in. See the Instant Expert panel on this page for more on what's new in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Acer A200 – 3D skills

Still, inside this 10in tablet is that Tegra 2 brain, and it's a clever thing, capable of working out lots of hard sums in a very short space of time, and that makes it fast. Fast enough to swoop around the 3D solar systems of Galaxy on Fire II HD with ease, browse at a pace that keeps up with you and your connection, and make smooth transitions as you switch from landscape to portrait mode.

Acer A200 – screen

Moving between the homescreens could be slightly slicker, but that aside there are no complaints in terms of power. The screen isn't the brightest you'll find and is quite reflective, so for outdoor use it's not a great option. Indoors it's fine, with good colours and viewing angles. As a sofa-based video viewer it does a fair job. It drops the occassional frame on high quality 720p footage but it's still watchable. It can't handle 1080p, dropping far more frames than it shows, although a future update to fix this is promised.

Acer A200 – USB port

Back to the hardware, and as well as a microSD slot beneath a cover, the A200 has a rare thing on its flank: a full-sized USB port. Most tablets don't have space for one, which is a shame as Android and USB go together like bananas and cheese on toast (try it, you'll be surprised). The obvious thing to do here is plug in a USB memory stick and shovel over some movies and music. Fine.

Acer A200 – USB possibilities

That would be too easy though, so we pushed it further. Add a mouse, and an on-screen pointer appears as if by magic. Add a keyboard and text entry (another improved feature of Ice Cream Sandwich) becomes even easier. A big USB hard drive? Yep. A wireless USB keyboard? Again, yes. All at once through a USB hub? Oh yes. We did try two USB storage devices at once, which it didn't like, and just for fun hooked up a USB audio interface, but as expected, no dice with that one.



You might ask why you'd do such a thing with a tablet, but that's the beauty of Android. Unlike iOS, given the right connections you can do what you want with it.

5 Of The Best Budget Android Tablets

Google's operating system is available on a bunch of cheap slates and here are the best.

1. Xtex My Tablet

£95, xtex.co
Ice Cream Sandwich for under one hundred pounds. Worried it’ll be too budget to handle the OS? Fear not: with a 1.5GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 16GB storage you can expand to 48GB, specs aren’t a problem. Of course the 7-inch 800 x 480 resolution screen, 2MP front-facing camera and Wi-Fi only connectivity aren’t amazing, but for £95 it’s hard to complain.

2. Andy Pad Pro

£180, andypad.co.uk
A 1024 x 600 resolution 7-inch display is pretty impressive on a budget tablet. Sure, it’s running Android 2.3 and has the odd graphical glitch, but with 16GB storage, HDMI out, and a slim, lightweight design, it’ll handle most tasks you throw at it – as we found in our Andy Pad Pro review.

3. NOVO7

£65, ainovo.com
The 7-inch Wi-Fi tablet was the world’s first slate to rock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It came packing 4GB storage (expandable to 32GB), a 1GHz MIPS processor and a free copy of Gameloft’s Spider-Man to test its limits. A bargain at £65 and ideal for testing out our 10 best Android tablet apps.

4. Coby Mid7042

£115, coby.com
It’s hard to see the difference between a premium tablet and the 7-inch Coby Mid7042. Even under the surface it’s powerful, with a single Coretex-A8 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, microSD expansion and even an HDMI out port. The 800 x 480 7-inch display isn’t amazing but it’s worthy of the £115 price.

5. Prestigio Multi 9.7

£165, prestigio.com
A 9.7-inch ICS tablet for under £200 isn’t impossible thanks to the Prestigio Multi 9.7. The fingerprint-resistant grippy rubber back is something you’d expect to see on a higher end tablet. Plus it's packing a 1GHz ARM A8 processor and 1GB RAM. Keep your eyes peeled for a May launch.

iPad Mini ets Rumoured

Rumour iPad Mini. Apple’s rumoured 7.85in tablet, the iPad Mini, has just been given a price of a meagre US$250. Watch out Amazon Kindle Fire 2.

7.85in Tablet :

Apple could have a 7.85in iPad waiting in its lab wings, if Apple pundit and Daring Fireball blogger John Gruber isn't seeing things. He reckons that there's iPad Mini prototypes lurking around Apple HQ – that may or may not be released.
The specs fit with what we've heard before about a smaller iPad – the iPad Mini prototype is reportedly as tall as the current 9.7in iPads are wide when in portrait mode. And this 7.85in iPad is set to have a 1024x768 resolution display which, although it's not following in the footsteps of the new iPad's Retina Display, should still pack in 163ppi.
The fact that the 7.85in iPad Mini exists doesn't mean Apple will release this version of its tablet – we were never in any doubt that Apple could make a smaller iPad and screen size is one feature that Cupertino seems to want to get spot on or not at all.



iPad Mini :
We’ve heard rumours in the past concerning the launch of a smaller iPad, and now an unnamed Samsung official has thrown more fuel on the fire. Asking not to be identified (fair enough in the circumstances), he or she told the Korea Times that Apple will launch a 7.85-inch iPad before 2012 is out.
Interesting stuff, as is the news that, despite the two firms’ well-publicised legal battles, Samsung currently has a $9.7 billion contract with Apple to supply components which is expected to rise to a staggering $11 billion by the end of the year.
Samsung supplies screens, storage, processors and more to Apple, which is its single biggest customer. So chances are certain individuals in Samsung might know what Apple's planning – just something to think about.

The rumoured pint-sized slate from Apple should be heading our way around August, according to Chinese portal Netease, which speculates that the iPad Mini is Apple’s way of fighting back against the upcoming attack from Windows 8 tablets. And with talk of not only a US$250 iPad Mini but a US$299 version also, it looks like there will be more limited hard drive options compared to its full sized iPad big bro.
With 6 million iPad Minis rumoured to be on the way, don’t worry about pre-ordering – there’ll be plenty to go around.
