What is an Acer Iconia Tablet?

If you've stuck your head out in to the computer tablet world, there is a good chance that you've picked up some hype surrounding the Acer Iconia tablets. With all of the new tablets making their way to the market it can be difficult to decide what tablet will best suit your family. Fear not, because this acer tablet review will jump start your knowledge of tablets.

Acer Iconia Tablet #1 - A100

If you are looking for a smaller tablet that maximizes portability then the Asus Iconia a100 may just be the tablet you've been looking for. This tablet features a 7" HD (1024 x 600) touchscreen with a NVIDEA Tegra 2 dual-core processor. The Acer Iconia a100 also features one of the latest android honeycomb Operating systems. The CPU allows for a good gaming experience and up to 4.5 hours of use without the need for a charge.

Acer Iconia Tablet #2 - A500

This tablet is another great choice particularly in the areas of price and features. This tablet is reasonably priced (cheaper than iPad and MOTOROLA XOOM) with a lot of features that make for a good all around tablet experience. The a500 is very similar to the a100 but includes a 10.1" HD screen with a larger viewing angle.

Acer Iconia Tablet #3 - W500

The latest advancement in the Acer Iconia series is the Acer Iconia w500. This tablet is unique in several ways that may sway your decision. First, the w500 does not run on the honeycomb android OS. Instead, it uses the Windows 7 OS which makes for a very interesting experience that some users may prefer to do the capability. Furthermore, this tablet features an expandable dock that is becoming a priority in some of the top tablets on the market. This feature allows the user to use the tablet like a netbook at home, yet still a tablet for on the go.

No Tablet is Perfect:

While each tablet is unique and can provide the user with a fantastic experience, there are always issues to be aware of with any tablet. For the Acer Iconia a100, users tend to dislike the small amount of viewing angle. Furthermore, the battery life is not excellent for a 7" tablet and if you're focusing on find a tablet that is travel friendly you may not like the a100.

While the a500 features a good all around experience, it does sport the typical android wi-fi connection problems that seem to be weak compared with other media devices. You may find that this tablet is extremely similar to the competing MOTOROLA XOOM, however the XOOM is more expensive but has been around longer.

While many would consider the w500's Windows 7 OS to be a pro, it could also be viewed as a con for the tablet. Windows 7 was not made to be used as a touchscreen OS and this shows as the user experience is lessened. Also, the dock that was designed for the Acer Iconia w500 seems to cause frustration to some users. While the dock idea is excellent, if you are solely looking for a tablet that offers this accessory, we recommend taking a look at the Asus Transformer Prime.

The Acer Iconia Tablet family have something for just about everyone. Whether you're new to tablets or you are looking for something to replace your current tablet, there is no doubt that there is an acer tablet for you.

Touch Screen Tablets: Is the New Kindle Color Ready For Prime Time?: touch screen tablet pc

The Kindle Fire, did you know that it belongs to a family of Kindles? It is the fourth generation of the Kindle that recently debuted and of course it is asking to be pre-ordered. Did you pre-order your Kindle Color? I did. After watching a video of the demo for Amazon's newest tablet to the ongoing tablet war, I had to have one.

I am prepared to tell you why the Kindle Fire is the way to go if you are seriously considering a tablet purchase. Because of the unique features it seems really exciting and intriguing to at least try it. The next question is whether it is an iPad killer. I'm not for sure because the iPad has a lot going for itself in terms of apps, size, its features and not to mention a whole lot of sales under its belt. The reason the Kindle Fire is an awesome interesting buy is because:

It is still portable.Obviously you can easily carry it in one hand, purse or book bag. I like that aspect because Amazon is still showing consideration to the consumer and of course practicality.

The device is in color. This not only gives the Nook Color some competition but will advance Amazon's hold on the tablet market. Amazon's Kindle is already the number one selling portable tablet in the market. What do you think the Kindle Fire will do for their sales?.

Cost wise it is to die for.All the rumors had put the Kindle Fire for sale for $ 399 price tag, but Amazon managed to keep the price reasonable under $ 200 dollars.

The above reasons are why I gingerly worked my wallet out of my pocket and pre-ordered the Kindle Fire. Now, for the best part, the delicious tidbits. Did you know the device has the following features?

Technical Features. The new Kindle 4 has a dual core 1GHz, TI OMAP processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a 7" multi-touch display with IPS (in-plane switching) technology with an extra wide viewing angle and anti-reflective treatment, 1024 x 600 pixel resolution at 169 ppi,16 million colors. It also has a USB port for charging the device.

It has all the functions of the Kindle, but in color and more fun stuff added. The Color Kindle plays movies and video, has a fast responsive full desktop web browsing, games (a version of the ever popular Angry Birds may have been thrown in for good measure), users have the ability to listen to music, read newspapers, books and magazines.

Has some multi-tasking functionality: While playing music, users can look at the album cover, view the music track playing and can go to the main screen to browse the web, adjust the device's settings and pause or fast forward their music track to name a few, all while continuing to listen to their music.

Buyers get one month free Prime Membership. allows access to over 10,000 commercial free movies and TV shows. The membership program will cost you $ 79 a year, but also provides unlimited free two-day shipping and one-day shipping for $ 3.99 per item on all eligible Amazon purchases.

My name comes on the Kindle? The Kindle Fire is delivered pre-registered. When you first turn on the Kindle Fire you will see your name in the upper left corner of the display, which indicates where all your content is kept on the Amazon Cloud server. All content such as, books, magazines or music purchased from the Amazon store is automatically loaded onto the Cloud server which saves your storage space on the device. The Cloud offers unlimited storage and users can delete or download documents, music, etc. whenever they want.

Pin your favorites on your Kindle Fire display. Users can pin their favorite apps, video, game, books or website to the Bookmark Shelf located in the lower portion of the display. This can be done with a simple touch of your finger.

The new Kindle 4 comes with a really neat movie watching feature. If you're watching a movie, you can pause it and then resume playing the movie on an Instant Video Compatible Device, such as a ROKU or TIVO device..

So, is the Kindle Fire Tablet Really that Great?

Well, it doesn't have a microphone, camera, MicroSD slot or 3G. It comes with Wi-Fi only and has only eight hours of battery life. Although, none of the touch screen tablets on the market are perfect, it just comes down to what you want on a mobile device.

It appears the Amazon Kindle Fire  is off to a good start and deserves consideration. If you loved your first Kindle you've ever bought and it's features, you will love this Kindle Color tablet also.
