Fashion Tech: The Acer Iconia Tab A100

Never has technology looked so good—and fashion worked so smart—as in the new Acer Iconia Tab A100, an ultra-mobile tablet device released recently by tech pioneer Acer.

Designed to combine rock-solid performance and trend-setting style in one pocket-friendly package, the Acer Iconia Tab A100 is unlike anything else in the market today. It packs Google’s powerful Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) platform, the super-fast NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, an NVIDIA GeForce GPU, a dazzling 7-inch multi-touchscreen display, wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a pair of high-resolution cameras, and all the essential data ports—while flaunting a sleek form factor that is made to fit every sense and style.

 

Weighing less than a pound and only half an inch thick, the Acer Iconia Tab A100 is one of Acer’s most highly anticipated tablets ever—and for good reason. Not only does it serve as the ultimate device for browsing, gaming, and multitasking in today’s technology-driven world, it also represents the kind of beautiful gadgetry perfect for keeping in touch, staying ahead, and moving in style.

 

The slim and elegantly curved body of the Acer Iconia Tab A100, available in glossy navy blue and soft-touch cherry red, bears signature design touches likely to turn more than a few heads. It also frames and protects the tablet’s bright and crisp 7-inch LCD screen, which is engineered with capacitive multi-touchscreen technology, 1024x600 WSVGA resolution, extra-wide viewing angles, and an extremely responsive six-axis motion sensing system. 

 

The result: screen-leaping graphics, user-friendly interaction, and the perfect environment for surfing the Web, watching movies, checking E-mail, reading books, and connecting to social networks.

The Acer Iconia Tab A100 works even better than it looks. It provides 1GB of system RAM, up to five hours of HD multimedia playback, four hours of video streaming, and two-times-faster browsing speed. 

Thanks to innovations introduced in the Honeycomb system, the tablet also features a fully customizable home screen, a smooth Android Web browser, incredible mapping technology, smart screen scaling compatibility, Adobe Flash 10.3 support, and one-touch access to hundreds of thousands of apps from the Android Market.

 

Of course, all the essential apps are available right out of the box. These include: Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Maps, Documents to Go (office productivity suite), Social Jogger (Facebook and Twitter content aggregator), NemoPlayer (multimedia playback and music recognition app), AUPEO (Internet radio and music streaming service), and Acer LumiRead (e-book reader).

 

To match such cutting-edge software, Acer equipped the Acer Iconia Tab A100 with an advanced hardware set that includes a micro-USB 2.0 client port, a micro-SD card slot, dual speakers, and a micro-HDMI port that supports Dual Display. There is also a pair of high-resolution cameras: one at the back of the tablet for taking 5-megapixel pictures and 720p videos, and the other a front-facing 2-megapixel camera, built for self-portraits and Internet video calls.

 

All these in an ultra-mobile tablet that, on matters of style, flows with the current and, on matters of performance, works like a charm. This is what makes the new Acer Iconia Tab A100 so special: no other tablet can claim the ability to combine fashion and technology the way it does.
