After IPad 2 had significant price drop. Almost all people wish the same thing happen on Google Android Tablet Pc. And apparently, the prayer began to come true. Although not very great, ranging in price $ 679 (check here). But one interesting offer comes from the Acer Iconia Tab A501 (16GB), which gives special price of $ 479.
It’s one of the heavier 10.1in tablets going at 777 grams, but ultimately that’s still light enough to ensure high portability. The metal backing feels pleasant to the touch, and the 10.1in (1,280 x 800 resolution) glossy screen has generous viewing angles along with good colour depth. In addition to the 3G SIM card slot there’s a MicroSD card reader, a USB 2.0 port and a Micro-HDMI port. The card reader in particular is sure to be a useful supplement to the A501’s small 16GB flash drive.
Wrapping up the essential features are 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, front and rear cameras along with an integrated microphone. It may not compare favourably to new tablets like the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime, but the significant price difference and well-rounded features still make the A501 worth considering.
Right now the A501 runs Android 3.2.1 Honeycomb, but according to Acer Australia & New Zealand on Facebook there’s an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich scheduled for July 9th. Also, while we’re not sure when this special expires we’ll update this story accordingly. According apomag,com. the price is only valid until May 13th, 2012
