Acer Iconia A210 Tablet - A recommendation

[themadlatvian]

I have had an Acer Iconia A210 16Gb 10.1" Tablet for two days now, and I am well impressed and I thought I would bring it to the attention of the Wam.

It cost me £160 delivered, which isn't far off half price. It is very well set up for music in that it has both a micro usb slot, and also a FULL SIZE USB slot to connect big drives etc. It drives my SBT via the wifi beautifully with the Logitech app. and also operates as a fully functional PC in every respect including access to the network printer, personal email etc. etc. Running the latest Android (Jelly Bean) means that there is a pretty intuitive operating system underpinning everything. Quad-core processor is no slouch either - streaming video is a doddle.

We have an iPad 4 in the household. Believe it or not at a third of the price, this is its equal for everything we need to do.

Thanks for the review John - what's the battery life like in a real world situation?

Seems to be ok Tom - I know the Iconia has had a little criticism in certain reviews, but it seems fine to me. Been using it all day today and it still has over 65% from last night. I'm not doing HD streaming or high power gaming, but it's been operating as my PC all day.

Recommed Squeeze Commmander over the Logitech application.

Thanks Chris - I will try that out.
