Features

Acer new A100, the first 7-inch tablet to ship with Google Android Honeycomb. The small slate is available in a Wi-Fi only model as of now. At under one pound and a half-inch thick, the A100 with Android 3.2, looks to be a more portable way to use Honeycomb and should be an improvement over larger tablets due to the platforms better support for Android phone applications.

Aside from the smaller, 7-inch display at 1024×600 resolution, the guts of the A100 will sound familiar. The tablet runs on Nvidia’s 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor, has a 5-megapixel rear camera with flash for stills or 720p video capture, a 2-megapixel camera for video chat, and supports 802.11 a/b/g/n flavors of Wi-Fi. Acer’s includes 8 GB of storage capacity, A microSD card slot supports additional expansion up to 32 GB of storage.

With its feature-laden yet practical design, and compact size, the A100 has the goods to deliver a modest-sized alternative to the 10-inch class tablets. Android 3.2 appears to have some rough spots, though, and app compatibility may be an issue until app makers and Google can issue the appropriate firmware updates.

• Plenty of ports
• Compact size makes it conducive to carry and hold

the New Acer A100 tablet come with impressive complement of ports and slots. Along the bottom edge (when holding the tablet in portrait orientation), you have an Micro-HDMI port, docking connector, and microUSB port, flanked by the tablet's stereo speakers. At the far right bottom is the AC power port. Just up along the right edge of the tablet (or top, if holding it in landscape orientation) is the sturdily designed slot cover that protects the microSD card slot.

In extended use, the A100 very comfortable to hold, especially in one-handed operation. The balance of its internal components actually makes it feel as if the A100 is lighter  — a pleasant surprise given everything else that the A100 packs in. The power button on the top of the unit is well-defined and easy to press. The rotation lock, just above the volume rocker along the right side, is similarly as easy to move . A nice touch: The volume rocker logically switches which button is “up” based on how you're holding the tablet. To the right of the power button sits the headphone jack.

the A100's display to be a pleasure to view. There was a minimal air gap,  the screen a bit easier to read. Oddly, in spite of the tighter gap between glass and underlying LCD, Text onscreen mostly appeared crisp and easy to read. the tablet will last up to 4 hours during 720p video playback and approximately 5 Hour of web surfing. One more point worth noting about the A100 is its reasonably good audio output. Given its small size, surprisingly good Audio piped through basic earbud headphones sounded even better — well-balanced, with good midtones. Acer incorporates Dolby Mobile into its A100, The Dolby Mobile audio option comes enabled by default,  the technology should extend bass response and enhance high frequencies.
