We've been playing with the Acer Iconia Tab A500 for over a week now and I must say this is a pretty decent Honeycomb tablet and probably the cheapest dual-core tablet in the Philippines with street prices as low as Php18,500. The Iconia A500 is actually the first dual-core Honeycomb tablet to be released in the Philippines, sporting an NVidia Tegra 2 chipset. This 10-inch tablet isn't the thinnest or lightest we've tested in its category but Acer managed to put in a decent effort with their first Honeycomb tablet and at a price point that's very affordable (currently the cheapest) to most consumers looking for one. And since the Iconia A500 is powered by an NVidia Tegra 2 chip, expect a slew of really nice HD games on the tablet that's close to the quality of console games. Of course, that will still depend on how good the display is -- and IMO, the Iconia A500 does it well enough (a bit washed out and hard to use outdoors even at brightest settings). The Acer Iconia Tab A500 has a suggested retail price of Php21,900 for the 16GB and Php23,900 for the 32GB but you can get units for as low as Php18,500 on cash purchases.
