Acer presented its first tablet computer during its global press conference in New York on 23 November 2010. The family also includes a big screen smartphone called Iconia Smart.
Iconia series
Iconia Smart - 4.8" smartphone/tablet
Iconia Tab A100 - 7" Android tablet
Iconia Tab A200 - 10.1" Android tablet
Iconia Tab A500 - 10.1" Android tablet
Iconia Tab A510 - 10.1" Android tablet
Iconia Tab W500 - 10.1" Windows tablet
The good: The Acer Iconia's innovative dual-touch-screen design and virtual keyboard work better than you'd expect, and unlike other dual-screen PCs we've seen, this one has enough CPU power for everyday tasks.
The bad: Speed typists will find that the virtual keyboard has a hint of a lag, and its (virtual) touch pad is needlessly small. It's also saddled with last year's Intel CPUs, rather than the latest generation, which might have given it better battery life.
The bottom line: Unlike a lot of other unique proof-of-concept laptops, the Acer Iconia is fun to use and largely works as advertised. But it has a hard time answering the most frequent question we hear about it: why would anyone need a dual-touch-screen laptop?
