#iconia a100

Found this 7-inch Acer Iconia A100 Honeycomb tablet in one of the stores in Mongkok yesterday. The Iconia A100 still resembles the design and specs of its big brother, the Iconia A500. So far, of over a two dozen gadget stores we visited, this is the only one that was carrying the Iconia A100 which means it's just starting to be shipped into HK and thus the somewhat steep pricing. The first batch of Acer Iconia Honeycomb tablet that came out several months ago were just WiFi-only models. 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. 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).
