Microsoft has repeatedly told us that we’ll see smaller Windows 8 tablets, but all that talk has amounted to precious little walk. If the latest rumor is accurate, though, Acer might be the first to take action: French site Minimachines claims to have images and details of the Iconia W3, which could be the first 8-inch tablet on Microsoft’s newer platform. The slate wouldn’t be a barnstormer with a 1.8GHz Atom Z2760 and 2GB of RAM, but performance also wouldn’t be its selling point — the W3 would be small enough to fit in one hand while carrying the full software support of a PC. It will reportedly include front and rear cameras as well as a possible microSDHC slot, and the accessories we see in the purported leak involve both a tiny keyboard dock and a cover that doubles as a kickstand. We don’t know if there’s any truth to claims of a launch around the back to school season in September, although that would certainly be appropriate timing for what could be a welcome backpack companion.

When we handed Acer’s Iconia Tab to our tame tablet reviewer, they were bewildered by its 1,920 x 1,200 display. While it may have been easy to use, quick and lovely to look at, it was also a bit on the hefty side, with its meager battery not helping. So then, six months down the line, we’re asking you to sound off about what you liked and loathed about this device, because we’re fairly sure the Acers of this world are listening.

Answer by JoneAcer, you know them. You love them; you have trusted them for years. Acer is a Taiwanese based Hardware Company that has been pumping out amazing computers, monitors and everything in between since 1976. With the recent market push into mobile computing it may seem that Acer did not bit as hard as some of their competitors. However, with the likes of devices such as the Acer Liquid Metal, the Acer Stream and the WP7 ready Acer Allegro it’s pretty obvious the company can make some very nice handsets. But Acer has also been producing tablets under the Iconia Tab moniker and it looks as if the company may have broken the mold, and I don’t mean by adding a QWERTY to a slate.
With the tablet market slowly pushing out the likes of the desktop, more and more options have been showing up. Outside of the Amazon Fire the market for the 7 inch tablet seemingly does not have a ring leader. The 10 inch space is surely dominated by the iPad and until they offer up there rumored 7 inch tab it’s an open market to do what you will with the bottom line. The Acer Iconia Tab A110 is here, to do just that…maybe. Computex 2012 has shown off some great technological goodies from laptops to desktop and of course, tablets. The Acer Iconia Tab A110 was shown off at the conference and is set to murder any slate in the under $ 200 price range. The A110 is a 7 inch tablet that sports a 1024×600 pixel resolution at 170 pixels per inch. Inside the Iconia Tab A110 starts with a class leading NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core processor that clocks in at 1.2 GHz. Delving a bit deeper on the specs sheet, the Iconia Tab A110 will have 8 GB of internal flash memory and 1GB of DDR3 RAM. You can also expect details like a huge 3420 mAh battery, a 2 mega pixel front facing web camera only, micro USB 2.0, HDMI output, expandable micro SD memory up to 32 GB and connectivity like, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0. The Acer Iconia Tab A110 should start appearing for consumption sometime in Q3 this year and be priced at less than $ 200 bucks; essentially trying to tame the Fire that is Amazon.
A quad core, Android 4.0 seven inch tablet for under two hundred dollars, any takers? The Iconia Tab A110 is a bit thick at 11.4 mm and surely could be improved in a few areas, but under $ 200 bucks makes this a sweet deal even with all that bezel. So let us know what you think of the new Acer Iconia Tab A110 in the comments below. And remember folks, the very best in mobile accessories is right around the corner.

Today, Acer officially unveiled the U.S. and Canadian availability, pricing and full spec list of its Iconia W700 Windows 8 tablet, which comes in three variants ranging in price from $ 799 ($ 749 in Canada) to $ 999, depending on hardware configuration. The tablets will ship on October 26, the same day Windows 8 is scheduled for its public release, which should provide us with an early look at how third-party offerings will perform in a market that’s yet to really be proven.
Acer’s Windows 8 tablets are designed to be full-powered computers in addition to portable devices, each boasting the ability to power three independent displays, and shipping with a cradle designed to hold the tablet at a variety of angles and orientations. They all come with the standard load-out of sensors, including an electronic compass, gyroscope and accelerometer, and manage a cold boot in just six seconds, according to Acer. A Bluetooth keyboard will make things easier for those who don’t like touchscreen typing, and there’s a Micro-HDMI to VGA adapter and protective case in the box.

Acer is also selling the W700 for the corporate market, backed by an extended two-year warranty and boasting Windows 8 Pro, with a price tag of $ 1,049.99. As the second largest PC maker in the U.S., it’ll be interesting to see how the company fares with its debut approach to the full-powered Windows 8 tablet market. We’ll have a full review coming later on the Iconia W700, but for now check out the gallery below.

Acer wasn’t divulging much about availability when we first caught sight of its Iconia Tab A210 at Computex last month (beyond a general “Q3″), but the 10-inch Android tablet has now at least cleared one hurdle on its way to a release. The device has just passed through the FCC, which could indicate that it’s headed for stores sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, there’s not much else to be found beyond the tablet’s label and a few test reports, so you’ll have to wait for a future filing if you were hoping for a peek inside the device — feel free to revisit our hands-on in the meantime.

Patience, they say, is a virtue. Try telling that to a tech-savvy tablet owner, whose friend already got an ICS update. Acer started pushing out an Android 4 update to lucky Iconia 500 owners earlier in the week, but for those who’ve yet to receive it, all is not lost. The tablet maker has taken the unusual step of releasing an app dedicated to getting you the upgrade asap. Can’t wait a moment longer? Point your slate at the Play store and search for “Acer” and then simply look for the free Iconia Tab Update Enhancement app. Virtues are overrated anyway.
