Apple tops HP in mobile PC sales
Thanks in large part to its iPad tablet computer, Apple has been crowned the king in mobile PC sales, according to an NPD report. NPD defines mobile PCs as tablet and laptop computers, the latter of which has been completely dominated by Apple’s iPad line of devices. Apple is estimated to have sold a whopping 17.2 million mobile PCs in Q1 2012, approximately 13.6 million of which were iPads. This number is up over 1.5 million from the 12 million Apple reported in their fiscal Q2 2012 earnings report from April. … Read more

Acer Iconia Tab A500 gets Ice Cream Sandwich update, too
Just when we told you that the Acer Iconia Tab A100 got its Android 4.0 update, we’ve heard that the company’s 10-incher, Iconia Tab A500, got the same treatment, too. I haven’t caught the official note from Acer — so we don’t know what’s all included — but folks all around Interwebs are reporting getting the new software. In any case, we advise you to push the button the second you see that the update is available. Of course, you should have all your key information safely backed up, just … Read more

Acer Iconia A100 getting Android 4.0.3 update as we speak
Acer has started rolling out Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Iconia A100 tablet, with users around the Interwebs reporting their device is prompting them to “take action.” After the process is done, this 7 incher runs software build 1.014.00_WW_GEN1 with a kernel version of 2.6.39.4+. We’re not sure whether some Acer/Iconia-specific things are included with this new firmware or it’s the “basic” Android 4.0. In any case, it’s good to see the Taiwanese company taking good care of its existing customers and we’re hoping the Iconia A500 owners will … Read more

Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Game Edition now selling for $449.99
To celebrate the upcoming Olympic Games (and get some media love), Acer launched a special version of its Iconia Tab A510 tablet that (as you can imagine) comes with five Olympic rings on the back of the device. Moreover, I would assume there is some preloaded content like wallpapers and screensavers included as well. Other than that, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 Olympic Game Edition is same as the original tablet, rocking NVidia’s Tegra 3 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 10.1-inch screen, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing one (for video calls), 32GB of … Read more

Rumor: Acer to release a dual core QWERTY Windows Phone 8 device in October
Windows Phone hasn’t exactly been a success, and it’s not very hard to see why. Despite Microsoft working their ass off for the past two years, their mobile OS just isn’t up to snuff compared to Android or iOS. We think this will change when Windows Phone 8, codename Apollo, comes out later this year. That’s going to make the next six months hard, but you know what they say: “Patience is a virtue.” We’ve already heard about three rumored Apollo devices (two from Samsung, one from Nokia), now it’s … Read more

Acer Iconia A510 brings Tegra 3, Android 4.0, and more for under $500
Acer has unveiled its next-generation tablet, and that tablet would be the Iconia A510. The tablet itself is rocking the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and more, all packaged in a price that’s below $500. While it’s hard to say anything bad about the tablet itself, in the coming months, we’re going to see this tablet repackaged in many different ways from different manufacturers. In a way, this tablet is very cookie-cutter, much like the Honeycomb tablets we saw last year that basically all shared the same … Read more

Acer Iconia Tab A510 gets FCC’s seal of approval
Good folks of FCC had a chance to play with the Acer Iconia Tab A510, giving it its official seal of approval, effectively making the quad-core tablet ready to be sold on the U.S. soil. Aside from rocking NVidia’s powerful processor (Tegra 3), the A510 also comes with a 10.1-inch 1280×800 pixels touchscreen, Wi-Fi connectivity, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, Dolby Mobile sound, HDMI out and 16GB of built-in storage. Unfortunately FCC doesn’t tell us when devices they “clear” for the market will actually start selling, but now when … Read more
