  3. I have the 10″ A500 and love it. The full size USB port rocks for all kinds of uses.

  4. 1GB only? Is Acer completely uninspired, or what?
    I’ll pass.

    • I don’t see any problem with 1GB at this price. It only needs a SD card slot.

  5. No way it has only 1GB internal storage. I’m 100% sure it’s a typo. The interesting part is both FS & BB have the same typo.

  6. Looking at the model number of this unit it looks like this is an 8GB model. So it’s a typo.

    • Model Number A100-07S08H
      It has 1GB system memory and 8GB storage
      That’s what the 08 in the model number means
      I know this because I picked one up at Future Shop on Saturday

  8. The screen on this thing is not very good.
    Terrible viewing angles. Definitely not IPS.
    You also need to have tiny fingers to use it.

  9. I believe this is the A100 that was reviewed on Engadget a couple weeks ago. If this is the case, then the resolution is incorrect, it’s actually 1024 x 600

    • If what you and others are saying is true, pretty much all published specs are wrong.

      lol

  10. It sounds like a typo – why would a 1gb model only be $50 cheaper than a 16gb model,that doesn’t even factor in the difference in screen size for that $50 difference as the 16gb model is a 10 inch tablet.

    If this is really an 8gb model, it could be a perfect size for the middle age not so tech driven people, a decent E-reader, email, web browsing, video chat device. I will check this out as a Christmas gift for my parents.

  11. 1GB storage? I hope not. At $379, that’s a bit much for 1GB storage, I’d probably buy it for $250.

  13. I think the resolution is 1024×600 and not 1280×800. How many mistakes can they make in a single listing?
