Yes, it's another Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet. But the good thing is that this one doesn't seem like it will take too long to arrive.

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 UK release date is April 2011, with pricing to be fixed.

As is becoming the norm for Honeycomb, this tablet has an Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core chip.

Acer has several extra app areas on the device including Games Zone where you can find a variety of preloaded games, eReading, where you can download or read magazines and books and a Multimedia section.

It does, however, have a built-in HDMI port and 1080p output to an HDTV. The tablet has an impressively wide viewing angle. Graphics are powered by an ultra-low voltage (ULV) GeForce graphics chip with Flash 10.1 support.
