Acer ICONIA Tablet A100 Coming to US this Month

It's been a long and twisted road for Acer's 7-inch Honeycomb tablet, but after all the starts and stops, we've finally got an ETA for the Iconia Tab A100. According to an email sent out to Acer retail partners today, the slab should land in stores sometime in early August with a suggested price tag of $300.

Acer has sent out mails to their retail partners, saying that the device will start shipping in the early weeks of August.

The ICONIA A100 is a 7-inch Android tablet which is powered by the same processor as the 10-inch ICONIA A500. While this launch seems specific to the US market, the device may soon arrive in UK and India, probably by the end of the next month with price tag $300.

Sporting the 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor along with 512MB of RAM this would run Android Honeycomb version 3.2.  The same update with make it to the ICONIA A500 sometime in the month of September.

Also arriving early August, is a pair of new Aspire notebooks: the 15.6-inch 5750Z and the 17.3-inch 7739Z, ringing in at $475 a piece. Both laptops rock 4GB of DDR3 RAM (upgradable to 8GB), 500GB of storage, and Intel Pentium processors. Given the extra three months Acer's had to get the Iconia Tab A100 to market, that Honeycomb better taste extra sweet when it finally makes its debut.
