7 INCH ACER ICONIA TAB A100 UP FOR PRE-ORDER

The 7 inch Acer Iconia Tab A100 is getting closer to its launch in the US. Several US retailers have started taking pre-orders for the tablet. Incidentally the tablet still hasn't got an official price tag. While Excaliber PC is taking pre-orders for $329, Negri Electronics has a higher pre-order price tag of $390. While Engadget reports that it will go on sale in the US in early August for around $300.


The Iconia Tab A100 runs Google Android Honeycomb operating system. The 7 inch capacitive touchscreen display has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. The Iconia Tab A100 has a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor. While the product listing says that it has Android 3.0, chances are it will ship with Android 3.2.

Other specifications include 1GB of memory, 8GB of storage, a 1530mAh battery and WiFi 802.11b/g/n. There is a microSDHC card slot for expanding the storage.
