Acer Iconia A100 Android tablet launch in August – only $300 for Honeycomb

acer-iconiatab-a100
The Acer Iconia A100 tablet, running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, will be available finally in August (next month) according to an email sent out to Acer retail stores, saying it will be ready ‘early August’ with a price tag of around $300 US. We saw this tablet in Mid-February, where there was to be a May launch, which was held back due to problems with Honeycomb running on this tablet in particular.
Now, fast forward to today, the Acer Iconia A100 is the 7 inch version of the bigger Iconia A500 tablet also running Honeycomb, which has been out for a couple months, and doing very well in sales. The Iconia A100 also runs Nvidia Tegra 2 processors, and shows that it will be upgradable to Android 3.2 in September.

  • 470g
  • 600×1024 pixels (7 inches)
  • Acer UI over Honeycomb
  • 8GB internal storage, expandable to 32GB MicroSD
