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...

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...
