Lovely. Easy done.
Oh, a quick question, does this affect the contents of the microSD card in anyway? Should I pop a blank card in, or is it safe to leave the current one (with content) in the slot?

Root done, fanctastic machine. Went to PCW 2 weeks ago to get Zoom but Iconia won me over not because of price, but because it looked better and USB and power on bottom of Zoom!!! (£90 for dock) not very user friendly.
Thanks all... Oh and new forum
Anyone tried overclock?

I just looked mainly at static images, but the A500 and Trans seem to look the same to me and ditto for the iPad 2. Besides the A500 not having as extreme angles (which I do not care about) the Acer is just as good IMO.
I did not watch video or play games on the Trans to see what you are referring to. As far as still images, all three displays look the same to me.
Dude, this is incredible. Took me two seconds. It was harder to root my OG Droid phone. Everyone who worked on this: thank you so much!
For everyone being amazed at how easy this is, we must all tip our hats to the guys who did all the hard work, figuring this out I mean seriously, who would even THINK of having to set the orientation lock to enable root?
I love being even on the fringes of such a great community of outside the box thinkers.

I had the same issue with Shootme. But other apps (Titanium Backup, Quick Boot) requiring root worked fine. So I downloaded Screenshot ER and used it instead. Seems like Shootme doesn't work on the Acer and/or Honeycomb.

71Good Evening from the uk
earlier on today a bunch of devs managed to actually root this tablet using a modified version of gingerbreak
below is the walkthrough of how to root this device
1. make sure usb debugging is turned on and unknown sources is selected
2. have a micro sd card inserted and turn the tablet on portrait and lock it with the switch to fix it in portrait
3. download and execute the attached apk. (i had to download from my comp and transfer to the tablet for it to work)
4. once the apk is installed run the root procedure within the app which was installed
5. wait and you will receive full root access
Edit to add original dev and thread
A BIG BIG thank you to monki-magic who provided the modified apk and the original thread is

From http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root
What Does Root Give Me?
1. Full control over your system
2. Ability to alter system files. You can replace many parts of the "Android Core" with this including:
o Themes
o Core apps (maps, calendar, clock etc)
o Recovery image
o Bootloader
o Toolbox (linux binary that lets you execute simple linux commands like "ls") can be replaced with Busybox (slightly better option)
o Boot images
o Add linux binaries
3. Run special apps that need more control over the system
o SuperUser (lets you approve or deny the use of root access to any program)
o Task Manager For Root (Lets you kill apps that you otherwise could not kill)
o Tether apps (like the one found at [android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com])
<there are more but I cannot think of any right now>
4. Backup your system
o You can make a folder on your sdcard and backup all of your .apk files to your sdcard (helps if an author decides to "upgrade" you to a version that requires you to pay to use the version you just had)
5. Relocate your (browser/maps/market) cache to your /sdcard
6. Relocate your installed applications to your /sdcard
7. Reboot your phone from the terminal app easily (su <enter> reboot <enter>)
