Spotted at the booth of NVidia is the Acer Iconia Tab A700 running on Tegra 3. Acer was the first one to announce a full HD 1080p display so the Iconia Tab A700 certainly got a lot of buzz then.
Around the time when it was announced in CES 2012, it was the only tablet that has a full HD 1080p screen. However, around this time a lot of tablets have already gone 1080p with the new iPad 3 leading the pack for a much higher resolution.
This trend could have fizzled whatever head-start Acer got back in January. Nevertheless, the hardware configuration couple with really good pricing could still help the tablet a lot of buyers (the first Acer Android tablet released last year was priced under Php20k).
Acer Iconia Tab A700 specs:
10.1-inch LCD display @ 1080p (1920×1080 pixels), 224ppi
NVidia Tegra 3 1.3GHz quad-core processor
1GB RAM
16GB, 32GB, 64GB internal storage
WiFi 802.1 b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0
5MP rear camera with 720p video recording
Android 4.0 ICS
9800mAh Li-Ion battery
649 grams (weight)
Aside from being snappy and responsive, I noticed the tablet is still a bit heavy and thick on the side. I remember this was also one of the issues in the first 10-inch Iconia tab.
We’re still unsure when Acer Philippines will bring the Iconia A700 to the Philippines but we hope it will be really soon since competition is heating up.
the second place after Apple iPad

whoa! look at the pixel density! 224 ppi?! I believe it’s now the closest pixel density to the new ipad with 240 ppi..
