The Acer Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 is now available for pre-order on Amazon UK for 299.99 GBP, which is about $487. That money buys you a WiFi-only version of the 7-inch Android tablet, which as far as I’m concerned is good enough.
Rest of the specs include NVidia’s Tegra2 dual-core processor, two cameras (the main one counts 5 megapixels), HDMI port, Bluetooth 3.0, 8GB of built-in storage and a microSD memory card slot. Interestingly enough, Amazon.uk also offers the WiFi-only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab for the same price — and as you may know, Sammy’s tablet lacks dual-core processor.
Now the best part. You may be aware that British always (and I mean always) pay more for their gadgets. I’m not sure why that’s the case — and VAT can’t be the only one to blame — but there is hope the Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 will be offered for less once it hits the U.S. In other words, I wouldn’t be surprised Acer’s tablet gets a below-$400 price tag once it goes on sale in the States. 😉
