April 15th, 2011— the day that Acer Iconia Tablet A500 released. Acer’s Iconia Smart was something of a hybrid, but the company also has a number of new slates for MWC 2011 that are definitely all tablet.
In general, the tablet A500 is a 10.1 inch tablet with a 1280×768 display running on that aforementioned NVIDIA Tegra250 Dual-core CPU, and offering 1080p HD playback.
Still, the hardware has promise – a 13.3mm slender slice of aluminum with HDMI, WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, along with a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a webcam up front that’s good enough for HD video calls.
Complete with a built-in HDMI port and 1080p output, it may also be used to enjoy HD content in full HD on a big screen TV or monitor.
The 10.1” full capacitive multi-touch screen ensures an optimal on-screen experience from every angle. Aluminum casing provides a cool look and feel, while its high gloss finish anodizing decorated with laser engraved textures demonstrates subtle sophistication. And despite being just 13.3mm thick, it’s powerful enough to provide fun and productivity in any location.
