Acer introduced a new Iconia Tab and the A200 will be landing Jan. 5 with a 10.1-inch screen, a nice entry-level price tag and the tablet will be ready for Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Acer Iconia Tab A200 has a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, a 10.1-inch WXGA HD 1280 x 800 display, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, a rear-facing camera, a few standard ports and you’ll be able to pick up the 8 GB WiFi model for $330 and the 16 GB WiFi model for $350. The tablet launches with Android Honeycomb 3.2 but Acer promises that it will be ready for the Ice Cream Sandwich update in the February time frame. The tablet will also come in multiple colors.

I don’t really have that much to say about the Tab A200, as it looks like a solid Android tablet but the only thing that really stands out to me is the pricing and it’s not even as cheap as something like the Kindle Fire. If you’re into Android tablets, the Acer Tab A200 may be a good device to take a look at but I’m not seeing anything too compelling here.

    Never clicked that pic. Now I know why the price point is so low!  No
    rear 8 meg camera/video capture!  That alone woudl probably ad another
    100 price tag!  So basically they just stripped out what every other
    tablet has and and consumers want and what most companies are trying to
    excel on every 6 months !

    Total let down on Acers part!  Making
    it seem they are giving people a deal when all they are doing is cutting
    corners  and removing hardware!  Fail!
