A 7in Android Honeycomb 3.2 tablet for under £300. Should the HTC Flyer fly away home?
Expandable memory ; Handy form factor ; Plenty of power
Poor display ; Mediocre battery life
tablet, but it soundly beats the 600g iPad 2. Plus that autorotate lock comes in super-handy when reading in bed. Or in a hammock in the Bahamas.

Acer has done the decent thing and dropped the price on its budget and compact tablet but is it enough to it stand out from the crowd?
Compact build ; Affordable price ; Dual-core CPU
Battery life ; Storage ; Finger prints
If you need something tiny and light to carry around, and don’t mind the short battery life, the Iconia Tab is a worthy entertainment device.

The 7-inch Android 3.2 tablet that's better than the HTC Flyer
Small and compact ; Good e-reader ; Latest Android OS ; Re-sizes smartphone apps
Average screen ; Poor battery ; Boring design
Expert review by : Ian Morris (pocket-lint.com)
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. Although there's plenty to moan...
Sturdy, runs Honeycomb
Not all that cheap, odd screen, DLNA not good at all
Although there's plenty to moan about with the A100, we did like many things about it. The screen is sharp, even though the viewing angle is outright weird. We love the power of the device, and we think it's got a lot of potential for people who want a...

It feels like it's taken a long time for 7-inch Honeycomb devices to show up. And then, as always, several turn up at once. The Acer Iconia A100 is the
Expert review by : Rosemary Hattersley (techadvisor.co.uk)
It's light and solidly built (though it looks fairly chunky) and is clad in a patterned grey plastic chassis. Weighing 401g, it's almost identical to the smaller BlackBerry Playbook.
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...

Apple has adopted a one-size fits all approach with its iPad 2, but there seems to be a demand for smaller, compact tablets. Acer has responded with the Iconia A100, a smaller and lighter version its 10.1in Iconia A500 Android tablet. Unfortunately,...
The Acer Iconia A100 aims to provide all the features and benefits of an Android tablet in a compact design focussing on portability. However, despite the Iconia A100's decent performance, it's ultimately crippled by a poor quality display, mediocre...
Expert review by : Stuff.tv (stuff.tv)
When you can spend as little as £100 or over £600 on a tablet, deciding how much cash to splash isn't easy. Do you go for a bargain browser or superior slate? Maybe neither, as the Acer Iconia A100 has popped up with a strong to claim the middle...
Expert review by : Crowdedbrain (crowdedbrain.co.uk)
We had a go on the Acer's Iconia A500 tablet last year which as you can image is a fairly large device due the 10.1" screen. So we were expecting the A100 to be naturally smaller due to its 7" display, but we were not expecting it to be as small as it...
Expert review by : Dave Oliver (wired.co.uk)
Let's face it, Acer isn't really the name you'll gofor if you're the type who thinks of brands as status symbols. Butthe company has built up a name for itself as a purveyor of decentquality, if not necessarily ground-breaking tech. So it is with...
Sturdy build quality, latest Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS, 5MPcamera, low price
Screen could be sharper, chunky and a bit on the heavy side
The Acer Iconia A100 isn't a world-beater in terms of specs, butit offers a good range of features, decent performance and thelatest version of Android Honeycomb for a very reasonable price.The obvious other model to consider is perhaps the 7-inchHTC...
