Acer Releases A Competitor to Google Nexus 7

Acer recently released a new 7” tablet, which could be a compelling alternative to Google Nexus 7. The Acer Iconia A110 surfaced first at the Computex 2012. The small tablet boasts pretty decent specs and priced at $280, which is noticeably more expensive. One area where Acer’s tablet beats its direct competitor is the availability of a microSD card slot.

Running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), the tablet will eventually get Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) very soon. The tablet is also running Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, clocked at 1.2 Ghz as well as 1GB of RAM. It only features 8GB of onboard storage, but users can add up to 32GB of microSD card to the external slot. Available data connectivity options are EDGE, UMTS, HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps, microUSB and microHDMI. It features a 2Mp front-facing camera, which will make a decent webcam. The 7” display uses a decent resolution of 1024×600, which is just perfect for playing 3D games and watching movies.
