Acer Iconia Tab A100 Coming to US Later This Year

Acer’s 7-inch Android tablet has hit the British Isles, and is up for pre-order. Interested buyers in the US will have to wait a bit longer, as Acer plans to release the Iconia Tab A100 in the US at a later date.

Acer has not announced the exact release date, but suffice to say that if you’re looking for a 7-inch tablet, you probably won’t be able to get your hands on the Acer Iconia Tab A100 anytime soon if you’re in the US. Just to recap, the Acer Iconia Tab A100 is an Android tablet that runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb on a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, and has 512MB of RAM, 8GB internal storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mini HDMI, among other features. Also, since the A100 has a smaller screen than the 10-inch A500, don’t expect the resolution to be the same–the A100′s 7-inch screen will have a 1024×600 pixel resolution (against the A500′s 1280×800).
Amazon UK has already listed the A100 for preorder for £299.99 (about $490), but previous guesstimates have the price set at $350 once the Iconia A100 arrives in US shores. Note that the Iconia A500 is already on sale for $449.99.
