Acer Iconia Tab A700

Acer, without a doubt, made a huge showing at this year’s show by introducing not one, not two but three new models to its Iconia Tab lineup: the A200, A510 and one of our top choices, the A700. Why were we smitten? It has a 1.3GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 with 1GB of RAM, its own customized — yet non-intrusive — skin laid over Ice Cream Sandwich. Oh, and let’s not forget the gorgeous 1080p “IPS quality” display. Here’s the catch: since the A700 is being called a “technology demo,” Acer’s not exactly certain that the high-end tablet will actually ever see the consumer market. Regardless, we like the direction the company’s going — and even if doesn’t see the light of day, we hope Acer has something else up its sleeve to take its place.

So, the mystery quad-core tablet shown off by Acer at CES has a name… kinda. The Tegra 3-powered unit is the oft rumored and leaked Iconia Tab A700, though, we were told repeatedly that this is just a technology demo and not a consumer product — so don’t be surprised if you never see an A700 come to market.

Underneath the hood is a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 and a full gig of RAM for pushing a customized version of Ice Cream Sandwich to its 10.1-inch 1080p “IPS quality” panel. The most glaring difference between Google’s stock experience and Acer’s version of Android is the “ring” — a lockscreen launcher with a selection of shortcuts available depending on which direction you drag your finger in. The textured back felt quite nice to the fingers, though it sports a healthy amount of heft that might worry some fans of lightweight devices. As far as ports go, you’re looking at an HDMI-port, microSD and micro USB — the latter of which can actually be used to charge the device.With every new morning, we find the new models of different tablets that have been introduced by different companies. The already released models of different tablets are also getting different up dates. In this article, we will take a brief look on the features and specifications of a new tablet that has been introduced by Acer under the title of “Acer Iconia Tab A700”.This tablet is expected to come in the market in March 2012.
