Acer has unveiled a new addition to its Iconia tablet series in the oddly familiar shape of the Iconia Tab A200.The budget friendly A200 shares much of its harware profile with the company’s Iconia Tab A500 launched earlier this year, although the former lacks a rear-facing camera and will come in 8GB and 16GB varieties only.
when it first hits the shelves the new tablet will run on Android 3.2 but Acer has stated that as soon as Google’s next flavor of Android (Ice Cream sandwitch) is released in January 2012, the new tablet will be switched to the new operating system- with a free upgrage to migrate to Android 4.0 for existing A200 owners. The new tablet will be available in either red or gray , with a patterned soft-touch rear face.It will feature a 10.1-inch ,1280 x 800 resolution multi touch display, an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core A9 processor running at 1GHz supported by 1GB RAM, and a 2 megapixel webcam in the front bezel.There will be either 8GB or 16GB of on board eMMC solid state storage- with microSD expansion, a full sized USB port, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, and built-in GPS.It includes social media consolidation with Acer’s SocialJogger,placing networking feeds from portals like Facebook,Twitter,YouTube and Flickr into one location.The device can also wirelessly share content with other DNLA-Complaint devices via Acer’s clear.fi technology, and users in the U.S and Cannada will get access to Netflix.The 3260 mAh/24.1 W Lithium polymer battery is said to be good for 400 hours on standby or 8 hours of video playback.Pricing has not been announced.
