What's the hottest new form factor in the Tablet world? 10.1"? 9.7"? No, it's the 7". Acer was ahead of the game, now you can be ahead of your wallet!
- Acer Iconia A100, 7", 8GB at The Source - Was $279.99 - Save $50 - Now $229.99
This is an older tablet but unless you are a power user, this is fine. It has Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) and Acer plans to upgrade it to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). As far as specs, it has a Dual Core 1GHz Cortrex A9 processor, Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, 1GB of RAM, a 5MP 720p read camera and a 2MP front facing camera. For all the specs, check out GSM area.
So I have heard a lot of people talking about how the 7 inch form factor isn't for them. Well, that may be true for some people but I really think it is a fantastic size. Truthfully it all comes down to portability. My 10.1" tablet is way too big to stick in my back pocket or in my jacket. I have a case for it but I have to carry that around with me like a purse.
Speaking of purses, my wife has a 10.1" tablet that she puts in her purse but it pretty much takes up the whole purse. Do you travel much? What about a 10" tablet VS. a 7" on the plane, bus, train, the passenger seat or back seat of a car or cab? Even the weight is a factor when you're talking about holding it for extended periods of time. For example, reading a book in bed would be a lot easier on a 7".
These are just a few reasons. I'm sure you can find your own, not to mention the great price.
