What you need to know about cloud backup

It's all a bit Alan Partridge, but Acer has an Olympic-themed tablet out, and Carphone Warehouse has the sales gig.

Acer Iconia A510 Olympics

The £349 Iconia Tab A510 runs Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich on a 1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 chip. The UI is rendered on a 10.1in, 1280 x 800 touchscreen.

There's 32GB of Flash storage on board, along with a 5Mp camera, 1Mp webcam, GPS and 2.4GHz 802.11n for networking.

Acer Iconia A510 Olympics

A so-so spec that no doubt Acer hopes will be cast into the shadows by the Olympic branding and be snapped up by sports enthusiasts.
