Acer Iconia A500

Computer giant Acer strides into the Android arena with a superb, Honeycomb-powered tablet.

Price: £449.99 | Acer

Sharing the same screen size as Moto's Xoom and Asus' Eee Pad Transformer, the 10.1-inch 1280x800 screen is excellent for games, with multitouch control; while the HDMI port lets you hook the Iconia up to a TV.

At the heart of the tablet is Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chip with 1GB,  providing ultra-fast performance; whether you’re watching Adobe Flash videos; flicking through homescreens or downloading apps from the Android market.

To make it stand out from the Android pack, Acer has added some useful features, including Acer Zones for gaming, social networking, reading and multimedia. Clear.fi media streaming lets you stream content across your network. The five-megapixel rear and HD video front camera round out a powerful, well-featured, great-looking tablet.
