Little brother. Acer's tablet family has a new, little member. The Iconia Tab A100 offers you a 7 inch touchscreen and can be taken along everywhere thanks to its compact build. The Honeycomb tablet (Android 3.2) is price-tagged at 299€ in the wifi-only version and 399€ in the wifi + 3G version.

Acer’s Iconia Tab A500 was one of the first tablets we tested early last year, which came with the then brand new Honeycomb OS. And while the Tab’s 10.1-inch size was considerable, and the innards equally decent, its overall performance left much to be desired. Today I’ll be looking at the Iconia Tab A100 to see how well the little brother performs in the popular 7-inch tablets market.

If you need something tiny and light to carry around, and don’t mind the short battery life, the Iconia Tab is a worthy entertainment device.

The Acer Iconia A100 aims to provide all the features and benefits of an Android tablet in a compact design focussing on portability. However, despite the Iconia A100's decent performance, it's ultimately crippled by a poor quality display, mediocre battery life and a chunky design. If you're looking for the ideal 7in Android tablet, the Acer Iconia A100 is not it. Keep looking.

Despite the tablet’s display and battery life failing to reach my high expectations, I enjoyed using it during my week-long test. Sure, the 7in screen’s resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels is barely more than an iPhone 4’s 960 x 640, but the Iconia Tab A100’s physical size makes just about everything easier to do, especially typing, without the dinner-plate juggling demanded by 10in tablets.

On paper the Acer Iconia A100 sounds great. It's a sub-£300 Android Honeycomb tablet using the still-fairly-rare 7in form factor that has all the power of the top tabs in town. But a few serious problems blow its chances. The display quality is poor, battery life is half of what an iPad achieves and the design inspires indifference rather than desire.

Where the Acer lets itself down is the viewing angles of the screen. Place it on a table, spin it round and you'll notice it has one good side, one unviewable side and two portrait views that will just about do. Not ideal, and depending on how you use it this can be incredibly annoying. Hand-held it's fine, but problems can arise if you prop it up beside you. So hardware connections and viewing angles aside, this is a great tablet, and for this sort of money it's just about unbeatable.

With an initial retail price around £300, the Acer A100 represents reasonable value for money. The device is cheaper than the entry-level HTC Flyer (£330) and BlackBerry PlayBook (£340), but more expensive than the Wi-Fi Galaxy Tab (£250). Despite offering reasonably good performance and some unique connectivity, the battery life on the A100 is a major letdown and makes it very difficult to recommend.

Somewhere, there's a niche for this tablet. It's mostly for folks who want a smaller tablet, but then they could just select a smartphone with a large screen, such as the HTC Evo 3D. Ebook reading worked well, if you can live with the somewhat glossy screen. To say the Acer Iconia Tab A100 is the best 7-inch Android tablet is a bit misleading. But we do prefer it over the HTC Flyer, due to the included Android 3.2 operating system. In some ways, the BlackBerry PlayBook is better in a technical sense – at least it does real multitasking – but it has too few apps. We like the A100 for an express purpose: greater mobility and book reading. For most tasks, a 10-inch tablet is a wiser bet.

This isn’t the perfect tablet, then, not by a long chalk. And with average screen quality, below par battery life and a poor camera, you’d think we’d be ready to stick the boot in. But the Acer A100 is actually a rather likeable device. It’s nice to use, snappy and responsive, and looks even more attractive when you put it in context of the immediate competition. It costs £300 inc VAT, the same as the ageing 7in Samsung Galaxy Tab, and a massive £180 cheaper than the 16GB HTC Flyer. If a 10in tablet doesn’t appeal, this little alternative just might.

This tablet is good for a lot of things. Wrapping up the awesome power of the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor in a medium-sized package, one that’s not a smartphone yet not quite a full-sized tablet makes this device good for some slightly more hardcore on-the-go games than you’re used to on your Motorola ATRIX 4G or Motorola Photon 4G. On the other hand, it’s thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, a 10-inch tablet, yet just about the same size as the original Galaxy Tab 7-inch, a tablet which does not yet feature the tablet-centric Google mobile OS Android 3.2 Honeycomb – this tablet has the right to boast itself up as the first and only tablet to currently be featuring Android 3.2 Honeycomb, again the first tablet-based Google-made mobile OS to be optimized for tablets smaller than 10-inches.

One thing falls flat here: The Iconia A100 doesn't have a traditional USB mass storage mode, and it's totally incompatible with Macs. To plug it into a Windows PC, you have to download Acer's clunky Acer Sync software, after which the Tab appears as a drive you can drag and drop to. Acer Sync also purports to sync your Outlook data with your tablet, but I couldn't get that part of the software to find my tablet.

The Iconia 100 is the smaller of the family with a seven inch (1024 x 600 resolution) screen. It runs Nvidia’s Tegra 2 dual-core processor and has a mini HDMI output, along with its mini USB port. The Iconia A500 comes in at a much more sizeable 10.1in with a 1280 x 800 resolution screen. It does make it heftier though, weighing in at 700g. It runs on the same Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core chip as its little brother, the A100, and has the same sized cameras. However, the incorporation of a full size HDMI to stream content to your TV is a definite improvement.

Honeycomb Alternative! Acer's tablet presence has so far been fairly restrained, but is beginning to gain more and more traction with every new model. The Iconia Tab A500 offers an Nvidia Tegra 250 multi-core CPU/GPU, 32 GB of memory, a high resolution WXGA display, and the brand new Android 3.0 operating system. What can be expected from the slim 500 Euro device was tested by us.

Android Honeycomb 3.1 and subsequent updates will likely bring innovative features to the Iconia Tab and potentially to the tablet world, something Google must do to overcome the iPad's dominance. For now though, if you are going after the best possible tablet experience I would likely spend the extra $100 and get an iPad 2. Despite the inclusion of Flash and more flexibility in the OS and expansion options, today iOS is definitely more polished and smooth. The difference in weight doesn’t sound like much but after handling both tabs extensively, it will eventually catch up to you and you’ll appreciate having the slimmer iPad.

Of course in the current market one cannot discuss tablets without mentioning the iPad 2. The A500 is 5.3mm thicker and 160g heavier, which will be a deal breaker for many users, although the price is certainly right. But Acer has definitely produced an alternative, if not a killer, that Android fans will appreciate.

Still, for the price the Iconia is a lot of tablet for your money. You’re getting the features of a laptop – minus the keyboard – on a device that can fit in a satchel. If the device we had was 3G-capable, the Iconia could have been our top Android tablet.

The Acer Iconia A500 feels similar to every other Android Honeycomb tablet once you get past its design. However, we're not crazy about some of the bits that Acer is responsible for. The look lacks confidence and the bold strokes of a real designer, it's also missing any cool extras like the keyboard dock of the Eee Pad Transformer and the screen falls short of IPS alternatives. What's more, the overall Android tablet experience still doesn't match that of the iPad when it comes to apps. We'd be happy to use this device as our everyday tablet companion, but would we splash out £450 on it? Probably not, given the other options out there.

Overall, you can’t go too far wrong with the Acer Iconia Tab A500 and it’s certainly worthy of consideration if it fits your budget and you crave that USB port or HDMI. Given how quickly Acer prices tend to drop, it could soon be a bargain too. But the design will deter some as it just doesn't look as good as it's competition.

Acer has produced a fine product with the Iconia Tab A500. Its performance closely matches that of the Motorola Xoom but it is lighter, offers more connectivity and has a working microSD slot to expand the storage capacity. There was no 3G support in the model I tested but I thoroughly enjoyed using it just the same. It is, however, almost as expensive as the Xoom, so those on tighter budgets should consider the 16GB version which costs around £380.

There are many good points. The speakers are better than Asus’ Transformer. Battery life, at over ten hours, is brilliant. Uniquely, the Iconia A500 also comes with the same kind of haptic feedback we're familiar with from Android phones, which makes typing on the touch screen more reliable.?And the price is right. At £450 this 32GB model might seem expensive, but there's a 16GB version on the way which will cost £70 less. But for all its pro points, the question remains. Why would you buy the Iconia A500 over any other Android tablet? We think probably not.

In conclusion all I’ll say is that the Acer Iconia Tab is nothing remarkable in the state it’s in right now. Hardware wise it’s pretty solid, especially with the inclusion of the full-sized USB port, but it cannot reach its full potential until Google improves functionality with the next Honeycomb update. The Iconia tab is just good enough, not great. The only other thing working in its favor right now is its low price tag. Certainly, anybody who’s looking to get a new tablet should probably have a look at the Acer Iconia Tab, but right now the tablets market is still in it’s infancy to provide an experience rich enough to replace netbooks.

If you're set on buying an Android tablet today, the Iconia Tab is one of the best bets at this writing--it tops the Xoom in functionality, and its $450 price is significantly cheaper than the $750 no-contract price of the G-Slate. The Iconia Tab is no iPad-killer, but it does give hints of the power of Android's more open and flexible platform. While I found faults with the Iconia Tab itself, many of my gripes lie with Android 3.0; if Google could only fix that OS's issues and get the native app ecosystem jump-started, Android tablets might be on to something.

In all, our impressions of the Iconia A500 are mixed. It feels a little slicker than the Motorola Xoom in use, and there are some useful bits of software included. It’s nicely designed too, with cameras that do a passable job of shooting the odd picture and video clip. Battery life, however, isn’t quite up there with the Xoom’s, and the screen isn’t as attractive as the Transformer’s. And at £447 for the Wi-Fi only version, it's hardly any cheaper than the iPad 2. As with the other Android 3 tablets we've seen so far, it’s almost there, but it still doesn't feel quite like the finished article.

But if a consumer had both an Acer A500 and an iPad 2 (or heck a, iPad 1,) and wanted to avoid appearing to have the same technology as everyone else, what then? Acer’s made a tablet that looks like none other, and it’s got a nice sound system on it, and it’s mostly metal, and it’s light. And it feels nice to hold, and there’s a USB port in it. And the SDcard port works. What other reason do you need?

With a large proportion of corporate customers, we can see why Acer decided to take a punt on a Windows-based tablet. Unfortunately, a desktop OS just doesn’t cut the mustard here, and bolting on a keyboard only makes matters worse. Look to an Android tablet instead or choose a low-cost laptop if Windows is what you need.

The Iconia Tab W500 wants to be the best of both worlds; in the end it's one of the nicest Windows tablets we've seen so far (barring the small size of the on-screen keyboard) and that's both praise and complaint. Windows 7 does do touch pretty well, but it's always going to be an afterthought for all but a few apps. There's a lot you can do well with touch on Windows, from browsing to playing all of your media (especially in Windows Media Center which works as well for fingers as it does for a remote control). It's the other apps that you want Windows for in the first place that don't always work well enough with touch. You have the keyboard as a fallback, but that's not quite ergonomic enough to really make this the perfect combo. But if you have a tablet PC with a swivelling keyboard that you long to be able to rip off (and you already know what compromises you'll be making), you'll love the Tab.

The Acer Iconia W500 is a device that does the tablet cause no good. The keyboard dock is clumsily implemented but without it, using Windows 7 becomes a chore. After a few more passes from Acer's design bods it could have been closer to a winner, but as is it's too bulky to beat rival Android tablets and not convenient enough to worry ultra-portable laptops.

We could put up with the W500's numerous shortcomings if the battery life was long, but even here the W500 is disappointing. In our light usage web browsing test it lasted just under seven hours. This is long compared to 15in laptops, but most netbooks and some ultra-portable laptops can last as long as ten hours. When playing H.264 video, the battery ran for just under five hours. This might seem impressive at first glance, but it pales in comparison to the iPad 2 which lasted 17 hours in the same test. The bottom line is that you'd need to keep the charger close by when using the W500 just so it doesn't ran out of battery power when you need it most.

Is this the tablet for you? Are you an ACER fan and just love the brushed aluminum design, or have you been waiting for a 3G/4G tablet that wont break the bank like the Xoom? While there is many tablets on the Android market that are thinner, prettier and even have 4G LTE the ACER Iconia Tab A501 is a complete package. ACER has spared nothing and offers outputs and connectivity, performance, portability and more all in a decently sleek package that is highly affordable. The ACER Iconia Tab A501 with AT&T 4G is priced at $329 with a new, two-year data agreement, or offered at $479 for the 16GB contract-free version. I don’t know about you but the HTC Jetstream and it’s $600+ price tag seems a bit much right about now.

The bottom line with the A501 is no different than the A500: It’s a good, solid tablet, with better-than-average support for media consumption, but there’s nothing spectacular about it—including its “4G” speeds. If you need a tablet with an always-on Internet connection, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the way to go, but if you can wait, you should; carriers are likely to offer more and more tablets in the coming months, hopefully with faster speeds than the A501.

Modern couch surfer. The new Acer Iconia Tab A200 brings the latest technology to the private living room. In addition to a 10.1 inch screen, it features a 16 GB memory capacity, wifi module and Google's Android 4.0.3 ICS. The lack of a UMTS module won't be a decisive factor in view of a price of EUR 349, as our test report shows.

If you’re buying a tablet because you’re looking for nifty software and want to keep your costs down, you’re still better off with iPad 2. But the Android platform has its advantages, also, and the Transformer Pad TF300 remains the best value choice today—especially if you opt for the 32GB version at $400. Not only will you get a lot of bang for your buck at that price, but the Transformer Pad’s Tegra 3-optimized graphics are capable of some impressive tricks over the iPad 2, if the handful of games optimized for the platform appeal to you.

However, with that girth comes useful features, like a full-sized USB 2.0 port. It is very much the bigger sibling to the Acer Iconia Tab A100 ($329.99, 4 stars), which was one of the first tablets to get Android 3.2 Honeycomb. The smaller A100 was a clunker when it came to looks, but it performed admirably when compared with the competition at the time. A lot has changed since we reviewed the A100, though. While it's still a decent tablet, it would likely score lower by today's standards.

The Acer Iconia Tab A200 is a budget 10.1in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet that will go on sale for £279, significantly undercutting top tabs like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Although it side-steps the most serious issues that cut-price tablets often suffer from, areas where the money has been saved are apparent. Without any stand-out features, we're not yet convinced it's necessarily a better buy than a first-wave Android Honeycomb device.

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. So not a world-beater by any means, but the Acer A200 is yours for under £300, and you do get a lot for your money.

The Acer Iconia Tab A200 isn't designed to be cutting edge. It's a tablet that hits the sweet spot in terms of price and features. For $349, consumers get solid performance, a full USB 2.0 port and long battery life. We also like the Acer Ring interface and the useful lock-screen shortcuts. For $150 less than the iPad 2 and the highest-end Android slates, you're giving up a rear-facing camera and a thinner and lighter chassis, something you can get with the 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 ($431). Others may prefer the original ASUS Eee Pad Transformer ($399), which sports an IPS display with better viewing angles and plugs into an optional keyboard dock. Overall, though, the A200 delivers the best bang for your buck among 10-inch Android tablets.

Unfortunately for the A510, you can get more capable tablets for less. The Asus TF300T, at $399 for a similar 32GB model, gives you 95 percent of the A510's speed, along with a better camera and slimmer form factor, for less money. The Apple iPad 2, currently running $399, is another prime competitor—it isn't as fast as the Iconia 510, but it has far, far more tablet-optimized apps. I'd also keep an eye out for Toshiba's upcoming tablet line, which we did a recent hands-on with. It promises Tegra 3 power and Android 4.0 with USB host mode in a sleeker body.

For $449, the Iconia Tab A510 offers impressive performance and graphics power, a compelling suite of apps and nearly 8 hours of battery life. Unfortunately, the A510 is shoehorned between the 32GB ASUS Transformer Pad TF300, which offers quad-core power for $50 less, and the 16GB new iPad, which is $50 more, but offers a much sleeker design, superb screen and a larger selection of apps. And even though it's not quad-core, we also prefer the $448 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the A510 because its slimmer and has a better screen.

10.1: The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions.
