A review of the Acer Iconia a100

  I recently purchased a new tablet. My old Arnova 10 had began to be, how do I put this nicely (not to hurt its feelings) Completely and utterly obsolete. The tablet of my choice was the 329.99$  Acer Iconia a100 7 inch tablet. A very great choice on my half, if I dare say so myself. For the price of around 300$ it offers a Tegra 1 gigahertz processor, 1 gigabyte of ram as well as a fully functioning google apps suite (gmail, play, etc.) My old arnova did not even have a google branded market, much less the all new google play market. It comes with Honeycomb 3.2.1 but can be updated out of the box, to android 4.0 a.k.a. the all new ice cream sandwich
From just reading about it and playing around with it in the store, it seems great, but then again most things look good in the store. This Tablet, though is an exception to the rule and is great of store. a more detailed review after the break:


  After about  1 week of using this tablet it just seems to be getting better and better. It has a gps, runs all apps reasonably smoothly, is great for watching videos and is amazing at web browsing. It has everything you would want in a tablet, and even after the ics update runs smoothly, even though it might suffer compatibility issues after ics with some older apps. In total though this is a great tablet with a great Os.
