Acer touts Tegra 3 tablet

Quad-core fondleslab for £130, anyone?

Extreme PC Week

Acer unveiled the Iconia Tab A110 at Computex in Taipei this week - a quad-core tablet that should be available for £130. Wowzers.

The Acer Iconia Tab A110 - set to replace the Iconia Tab A100 - features a 7in display with a resolution of 1024 x 600.

A100 to get the Quad-core treatment

The slate boasts an Nvidia quad-core Tegra 3 processor running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, affirming Nvidia's earlier claims that such budget Tegra 3 slates would be available this summer.

At such a low price point, the Iconia Tab A110 can compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire, although the impact on battery life of having that quad-core CPU remains to be seen.

Other specs include 1GB of Ram, 8GB of internal storage, a front-facing camera and micro HDMI, USB and SD card slots.

The Acer Iconia Tab A110 is expected to hit shelves in Q3 2012 for roughly £130. Slabtastic. ®

Good for you.

Now try to tax your comprehensive reading skills a bit more.

Read his comment again, then tell me what the meaning of this is:

'at least in my house it is'.

HTC One X

...has a higher screen resolution than this thing, with just four inches. So impressed with it as well. I've completely stopped using my tablet, in fact, it's my preferred device for everything outside Eclipse and Libre Office.

Skype? Why Skype?

I've never Skype'd anything or anyone in my life and get plenty of use from my various computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets.
