Default Acer Iconia Tab Overview

I have owned this tablet for about 2 weeks now and decided To so a quick overview of this Iconia.

First i will go over my first initial impressions, well when i first picked up the device i was in shock and awe picking up my first tablet. I had messed with the iPad before the tmobile g-slate and the 7 inch Samsung one, but this tablet right here blows them all away.

The g-slate has same specifications as Iconia minus ddr3. Ram and 3d capabillities. But i pared them side by side ran test etc. And my iconia actually performed slightly faster.

Blows iPad away apple restricts you way to much, i own a iPod touch 4th and was considering getting a iPad but its just a huge oversized itouch, in my opinion they restrict you way to much and no flash support. Unlike iconia has 10.2 support flawlessly graphics look absolutely gorgeous my favorite being Backbreaker THD my friends were left in shock when they saw my tablet i brought it to church last well and this previous has a crowd around, e ha they thought it was one of the coolest things they have ever seen. The girls were digging it also :) they found it to be very spiffy so Guys great for showing off :)

This thing i use daily to write i do that allot for creating sermons, notes letters emails FB, CNN YouTube music i use Pandora and light gameplay also. I stream videos from web sermons etc. Use heavy flash content works'as i said flawleslly.

I never experience shutdowns screen off etc, sluggish times on the device nor anything in that ares never happens thank God and 'm also rooted thanks to the fast community out there. Battery life has been amazing I attached a picture been rocking device for almost 14 hours and at 25% been using for games YouTube browsing web Facebook typing etc. On and off use.
Have also been streaming Pandora. In room for past 4 hours straight
Some errors in tablet though would have to be the screen that is my only complaint the grid that is highly noticiable under light and my God the fingerprints ha two minor issues other than that this thing is the ultimate champ at tablets in my opinion.

I also made a brief 15 minute overview of the tablet going over some of the features and so on check out link below.

The Iconia A500 uses LDDR2 RAM, not DDR3. Anywhere you read DDR3 is making a mistake and likely mixed up the specs with the W500 which is a Windows machine and runs DDR3 memory.
