Acer launches Honeycomb Iconia Tab A500 and A100

Fresh from launching its Gingerbread-equipped Iconia Smart handset, Acer has lifted the lid on a duo of Honeycomb tablets; the Iconia Tab A500 and A100.

Following the glimpse we caught at last month’s CES, Acer has finally announced its upcoming slates. Both tablets feature almost identical specs, with the A500 sporting a 10.1 inch screen and the A100 a 7 inch effort. The A500 also has more RAM at 1GB, and will be available in both 16 and 32GB storage options. The Acer Iconia Tab A100 on the other-hand has 512MB of RAM and 8GB of storage.

With all bases covered, Acer has packed both tablets full of features to help them compete against the likes of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Optimus Pad. Honeycomb will be onboard from launch, and both will arrive equipped with NVIDIA’s powerful Tegra 2 chipset.

Both tablets will also boast 1080p HD video playback, with Acer claiming they are more than capable of handling “premium HD arcade games and complex online 3D games”. They will also feature a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2 megapixel webcam, HDMI output, Bluetooth 2.1, and 3G and WiFi connectivity.

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A100 are due to land in April, although their pricing is yet to be confirmed.
