[Unconfirmed] Acer Delaying Iconia A100 Tablet Due To Honeycomb Restrictions On 7-Inch Screens?

Posted by in Flyer, Galaxy Tab, Iconia A100, Iconia Smart, News, Rumors

The Acer Iconia A100 - a 7-inch Honeycomb tablet [unlike the 10" A500... makes sense, right? - Aaron]- was originally slated to hit the market in late May/early June, but has been delayed until August/September due to restrictions with Honeycomb on a 7-inch, 1024*600 display. Honeycomb was designed to take advantage of 10 inch, 1280*800 displays, and according to Digitimes, Google is too busy "resolving other issues" to tend to this little debacle, so Acer had no choice but to delay the device.

The first question that comes to my mind, however, has nothing to do with Acer - but instead, HTC and the Flyer (for those who may not know, the HTC Flyer also sports a 7 inch, 1024*600 display).

Acer Iconia Smart Hits The FCC: 4.8 Inches Of Tabletphone Glory

Posted by in Acer, AT&T, News

The Acer Iconia Smart, which was originally unveiled in November of last year and slated for release in April of 2011, has officially hit the FCC. This revealed 850, 1900, and 2100MHz 3G frequencies, which basically means that this tablet-phone hybrid device is almost certainly going to land on AT&T.

If you haven't heard about the Iconia Smart, you're not alone - but this is definitely one device to keep your eye on. Check out the specs:

  • 4.8 Inch 1024x480 display
  • 1GHz Snapdragon processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • 8MP rear camera with 720p video capture, 2MP front camera
  • Android 2.3

Naturally, we're all going to question why Acer has decided to put a single core processor in such a beastly phone, but we're crossing our fingers in hopes that we'll see an update before the final release of this device.
