Acer's A100 is a 7in screen tablet that comes with Android 3.2 Honeycomb preinstalled. It was the first small-screen Honeycomb tablet to launch in the UK, in fact. It’s light and solidly built (though it looks fairly chunky) and is clad in a patterne...

The Iconia Tab A100 makes a very good case for Android Honeycomb on a 7in screen tablet. Performance and responsiveness are impressive, and we had no issues with accurate input despite the smaller screen and icons.We expected smaller also to equal chea...

Acer's new Iconia Tab A100 is the first 7in tablet we've seen that uses the latest version of Android's tablet OS - we were expecting more by now, but there's been some speculation that Google was having trouble getting Android version 3 and above to l...

Review date: 26 September, 2011. Review by: Sandra Vogel The great plus point of 7in tablets is that they're easy to carry around - easier than their larger 10in brethren simply because they slip more neatly into a bag or even a large coat pocket. The...

Acer's software sidefiddles are unnecessary.

In terms of build, specifications and performance Acer has done a good job with the Iconia Tab A100. IWhen it comes to the tablet's added applications, the job is less well done. Acer needs to stop fiddling with Android or do something really useful in...

Hey, tablet geeks out there, do you remember what you hated most about Samsung’s original 7in Galaxy Tab? The grainy display, the glitchy software, the lack of memory, the poorly located buttons that you kept pressing by mistake? Designed for portrait...

Despite the tablet’s display and battery life failing to reach my high expectations, I enjoyed using it during my week-long test. Sure, the 7in screen’s resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels is barely more than an iPhone 4’s 960 x 640, but the Iconia Tab A1...

Steve Jobs doesn't like 7-inch tablets. Hardly surprising, given that Apple only has one tablet, and it's not 7-inches. But Pocket-lint likes all tablets, especially ones that give the people what they want: choice. The Iconia A100 is Acer's most rece...

A reasonable effort, but it faces growing opposition. The screen isn't the best we've seen and the same is true of the design. If you can get it for a good price then it's worth a look, but be sure to check out what Acer's rivals are doing too...

On paper the Acer Iconia A100 sounds great. It's a sub-£300 Android Honeycomb tablet using the still fairly rare 7in form factor that has all the power of the top tabs in town. But a few serious problems blow its chances. The display quality is poor, batt...
