Abstract: The Acer Iconia is an exciting tablet PC as it brings a very high-spec'd slate with the latest build of the Android operating system, at an affordable price. The processor is powerful, you get high-spec cameras and a high-resolution responsive touchscreen...
Abstract: Product Round-up With Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon us, it's a good time to take stock of the impact - or lack of it - of Android 3 Honeycomb and Nvidia's Tegra 2, the chipset and release of Google’s mobile OS that were hoped would knock the iPad o...
Abstract: Acer are renowned for their budget range of computers and notebooks and there has been many a smartphone we have reviewed in the past that has been inundated by memory zapping applications that slow the device down. However you can't argue that they do pr...
