Iconia A500 specs are as follows. • Display 10.1 "resolution of 1280x800 (16:10 ratio). • NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor at 1GHz dual-core. • RAM 1GB. • The camera is 5MP, front camera 2MP. • internal storage space 32GB. • port, USB, Micro USB, Micro HDMI, Micro SD. • Connect via Wi-Fi (3G model is not imported). • Weight: 0.76 kg Price: 17,900 Baht (excluding VAT). Box. Iconia A500 comes in a white box with reasonable size. Have built-in front. Design style will be influenced by Apple in a way. A box cover. When turned out to be a tablet placed on the floor. The device is supplied with documentation, cables and a USB-Micro USB charger cable to plug it (not Micro HDMI cable separately). The adapter is quite large compared to the Adapters of modern IT equipment. I do not like the charging cable is quite short. Is not convenient (Iconia not even have to charge via Micro USB adapter to charge from their own only).


External hardware. When first exposed to Iconia A500 will feel that the relatively large size. Compared with the iPad is thin but slightly longer. I opted for a 16:10 ratio monitor to see it. When I take the reviews of this series. What equipment do not have to be compared. I was holding my hand (Nexus S) and the mouse and put it around enough to see the actual size. (See the size of the devices. In your review @ kafaak). It's a little more than the weight of the iPad 1 on the size and weight factors together. To carry out the much less convenient. (The more positive factors that it is not a 3G version of it), I define it as a desk tablet used in the home is probably the best. The style of the material, it is evident that as the owner of Acer species to see what comes. However, the quality of materials and assembly is made out to be a strong, stable, not plastic. The thickness of the machine. The small size compared with the Magic Pen. It will not be a rectangle. But on an elliptical curve. Metallic stripe on the back of brushed metal (not a line) with the camera at the top right corner. The two speakers at the bottom edge.




Camera with flash. Port connection. I look around the unit together. The bottom of the port's own Iconia dock with the keyboard (not the sales but said that Acer will be imported). Right at the bottom edge with a full size USB port and a Micro USB port one. With small holes. For reset. Close to the upper right-hand side is the connector for charging. The left edge of the port Micro HDMI. The top left edge. The mute button - open - the lock screen. (Glow, and turns red when charging) and a standard headphone jack. The top edge of the machine. There is a button and the port by the left image is the "hinge" for the slot Micro SD, lock the tilt device. And volume buttons. Volume of Iconia considered attractive. I do not think the press will increase or decrease the volume fixed. (Because we hold the tablet any direction) must remember that "push the right = sound" is enough. The hinge is similar to the first generation MacBook Air, but it is serious rubber. Carved out a slot for Micro SD and another compartment space. (For the SIM card in a 3G). Will see that none of the buttons on the front of any available Iconia all directions (because Honeycomb designed very well in this regard) is to use it. I have some problems. It is now to be picked up by a fumble. "Unlock button" (which has a fixed position) before the benefits of the Honeycomb's all down to the poorer south. With this design would not do much of anything. The solution is one possible way to unlock the BlackBerry PlayBook the screen with a gesture on the screen (the edge of the screen to the screen), which is a very good idea. Because we do not have to worry about catching it in a truly Software from Acer. When powering up the first time and did not install any applications. The applications bundled with the image. If not, the application of Google came up with the rest of Honeycomb is the application of Acer's. • Acer Registration - Register. • Acer Sync - Sync with your desktop PC (the PC to install the Acer as well). • AUPEO! - Online. • Clear.fi - play multimedia (images, music, videos). • Docs To Go - office suite. • The "shelf" of Acer, which does not do anything unless it is an application launcher for them by categories such eReading, Games, Multimedia, Social. • Hero of Sparta - the game (demo). • Lets Golf - the game (demo). • Link to Facebook - The thread links to sites Facebook (to do it). • LumiRead - read e-book (not yet supported Thailand). • Media Server - for connecting to other devices via DLNA. • MusicA - the tag music with Shazam. • nemoPlayer - play multimedia (images, music, videos). • NFS Shift - the game. • Photo Browser - picture viewer and a Gallery of Honeycomb is used instead. • SocialJogger - a program for Twitter / Facebook. • TegraZone - Free game of NVIDIA. • Top HD Games - Free Game GameLoft. I will detail here only a few applications. AUPEO! Applications and listen to online radio stations. There are a number of preset stations. I rarely use it but it is better than nothing. clear.fi Acer's multimedia applications and play to his foundation work as expected. nemoPlayer multimedia application for playing music and viewing video is nothing more than expectations. NFS Shift Racing game Need For Speed ​​series on the player's performance: D. Photo Browser application for viewing. You can tilt the machine to do the slide show. Otherwise, it's eccentric, too. The image here. SocialJogger application for playing. Twitter / Facebook application from Acer is a little strange that a "jogger" or the scroll wheel for scrolling. And a separate category under the video - a link. There is hardly anything in it. Suggest that in actual use, should be better than another client. NVIDIA's Tegra Zone Free game is a written application to the Android Market and one cover (the game is to Android Market) in Thailand is still not buying it anymore. There is no benefit. Top HD Games is a link to a page of Game Loft for sale in the mobile gaming - the tablet. I try to show that it is not around the country to the other end. Concluded that Acer could not adjust it to the Honeycomb (which is good), the application supplied to it much less useful. But many do not work in Thailand. (It is the policy of the world get the same set of applications), and multiple applications, there is not much compared to other applications on the market (eg, using application specific to their SocialJogger. TweetDeck / Twicca better). Another issue I do not understand is that the application for viewing - Music - Video Why the Many. However, these applications can be downloaded from the better of the Market is an issue which is not much downside. In addition to the first screen. General use. Overall Iconia A500 works fast response. There is no slack to be seen. (This specification is not) the screen is large, satisfied. Perfect for watching movies in landscape orientation. And read the web / read a book in a very vertical. Thanks to Apple's Kindle eBook reader, so that they do well. Text is clearly The application had to interface with Honeycomb-style interface to it. Try reading a PDF in English, they fit the screen. The move was difficult. Read Web vertical. The letters vividly fit. English words have no problem with the Flash player. The music. Loud speakers and sound. Playback of 720p resolution, but 1080p is no problem with back spasms, this case is interesting. Because the specifications of the Tegra 2 will be played as a problem rather than the Honeycomb or Iconia. I play with applications that can not play 1080p RockPlayer a "system player" has to be executed in software decoding mode only, which is not surprising that it would start to spread. I think the problem is probably not a matter of software rather than hardware. In use can be found on the following two major problems. • little too big and heavy to hold up when if I see the set, it seemed. What had been minor. This problem with the same iPad Iconia A500 is bigger and heavier than a little. The degree of the problem. • In addition to playing the web - Post-Twitter-Facebook-read e-mail link - watching movies. Also, do not do much. This is because application of the Honeycomb is also very low. Compared to the application of the Android 2.x did not do anything else. Focused on that basis. The specs say the battery for 10 hours, but in actual use. If heavy use. (Surf the web - see spasmodic), it is not about one day. Maybe this will help save battery by not using the airplane mode for a long time. I did not test the battery in a businesslike manner But overall it through. (It's time to recharge. Charger's too short going bad). Keyboard Acer did not get a new keyboard with the keyboard, even from the Android Market has a real keyboard, but English is now to be tailored to suit the tablet too. (Which is not surprising. The tablet Honeycomb was recently sold). I have several keyboards. Find solutions that work best, but further refinement is TSwipe enough in itself. Settings / Apperance follows. • Layouts. • Portrait EN = Std-II QWERTY. • Portrait TH = Std-I Kedmanee. • Landscape EN = Two Hands QWERTY. • Landscape TH = Two Hands Kedmanee. • Keyboard size. • Portrait height = 35%. • Landscape height = 50%. • Landscape full-screen = check it out. The results shown here (really TSwipe to another lot. Try to adjust themselves according to taste). Note: At the press conference to launch the Acer Iconia I have tried to capture the team's Acer, and found that it installed the keyboard with the Tablet version CNThai why Acer is not included with this keyboard. I have asked it to Acer. USB. One of the most unique Iconia A500 is that it comes with a USB port and one USB port. The world of accessories. Big up immediately. When I try to plug the USB cable, try to find accessories. I plugged it into my test. First, figure out what is sure thumbdrive. The tests found that plug in thumbdrive to FAT32 standard, then it immediately (no need to mount before), but the Honeycomb is no file manager so that it does not tell you whether or not the need for applications to Astro. or other file manager. In the Settings / Storage External USB storage will appear. It will mount the file system automatically means that I put the thumbdrive, then plug Iconia files it can play it immediately, this is the killer feature of Iconia really. At least I try to plug a keyboard, a built-in hardware keyboard is compatible with Honeycomb. I quickly typed it. Use the arrow keys and page up / down scrolling as well. (But not yet supported language layouts). The option to "Use physical keyboard" the top. Hardware features that are quite open-minded or "myself" This creates the possibility for many Iconia (such as a USB card reader that is connected to the tablet for viewing photos on the big screen. After the shooting), the rest depends on the software will be developed to provide a complete solution, only Note:. • I try to plug in a mouse model that fluke. But nothing happens, i. • Micro HDMI cable, but I have not tested this feature. Camera No one asked to take a tablet to take pictures more seriously (especially Iconia Epraamanhnak), but it's the camera I would try it. The result was good for me. Picture out of one. (All taken with the normal mode. Can not customize something special. I uploaded the pictures to the 3x digital zoom Figure 6 it is seen that the image is still on).

  Connecting to a PC. Connecting to a Windows PC Iconia A500. Need to download the drivers from Acer India website (download page), which contains the drivers for the A500 to be downloaded easily. When the installation is complete, A500 is connected to the PC in the MTP (not USB storage) allows us to transfer files without. mount / unmount. USB storage mode, the advantages over it. Android SDK to connect to other devices that do the same. Nothing different. All images in this article, I captured with my DDMS on the Android SDK Tools revision 10. Summarize Identify strengths, weaknesses. Strength • Specification force. • Large, wide-view display. • View port connection. No need to convert to chaotic, like ... • Connect the USB drive directly to "god". • Waste storage, 32GB. Weakness • larger and heavier than it is to carry out. • Honeycomb The application is not complete yet. • A version of 3G. • Do not have a Thai keyboard. • 1080p playback is smooth. • power cord a little short. Micro USB and can charge through them. • applications and bundled them. Also much less useful. Overview. • Hardware and connection ports are almost done, then Acer. • Software and platform. It's not perfect. This is a problem that Google will have to solve. • It also is a good size and weight. This is too big and heavy. By a factor of 3, the Acer Iconia A100 version 7 "is very interesting because the gut as well. The same software. It comes down to reasonable size, portability is not waiting for Acer to do on it (the A100 but no full USB). The question that faced me was "Iconia A500 with a good selection iPad 2". If the Iconia A500 and A500 iPad 1 I answer without thinking, but when the iPad 2 improve the size and weight to the extreme. While the prices of similar responses (for the general. To have a tablet PC first), but it is not the A500. However, for people who must use a port connected to the A500 is a lot less interesting. Unfortunately, the Acer is not the cheapest model is the 16GB Wi-Fi to make a "minimum price of owning a" soaring high up a little
