ICONIA TAB A500 Picasso Tablet Computer

I bought this tablet so that I could give my legs a break from my 17in. laptop. Out of the box, the Acer has a sleek look and feel. I was impressed! It found and connected to my network immediately and after I did all of the basic set-up stuff, it was time to test this baby out! I have to admit that I almost had to open the instructions. I have an IPod touch and a HTC EVO which were simple to navigate, but this device was a bit more complicated...but I figured it out. Pros: 1) The device connected to the internet flawlessly - all the time. I had no problem shopping, web surfing, etc and there were no lags or freezes. Cons: 1) I recorded a simple video. The video playback is less than average and audio was so low, I could barely hear what the people in the video were saying on the highest volume output. 2) The camera is just o.k. - hard to believe that it's 5 mp. The camera has a zoom feature so I tried it out on auto focus mode. On mid to high zoom the picture quality was less than that of a disposable camera from the 90s. 3) GPS has two options - walking and driving. The GPS came on, I chose the driving option and nothing else happened after that- with a wifi connection. If you want this device only for the internet then buy it. I returned my Acer because the pricing is based on the specs and I am a firm believer that if a feature is offered in a product then it should work, regardless if I use it often or not.

I have been around computer for the last 25 years and although I don't know that much about the insides of one I can get around the software great. Never had been one to open a manual to learn how to use something. I just jump right in and "piddle" with it. That's what i have done with my new tablet. I am learning new things it can do every day! It is one great tablet. I read all the reviews on different brands and went to several websites and compared. This has been by far the best choice for me. At first I put it on lay-a-way to save for Christmas but two weeks later i got it out because i was really wanting to play with it. I have a computer at work, two at home but not in my living room area and i wanted something light to sit in my lap while I was watching TV so that I could check my email, facebook and play games. Then I started downloading apps and WOW!!!! This thing is great... I have not had a single problem with it and after reading some of the 1 star and 2 star comments i don't see where they were coming from...granted every company is going to put out a "lemon" every once in a while...they were just the unlucky ones to get the lemons. I use my tablet every single day of the week and it holds a charge very well. Now it's time to start buying accessories for it... I love my new tablet and glad I picked this one!!! P.S. I am totally hooked on the game Unblock Me....I can play it for hours!!!

This is my first tablet and my first expierance with Android and I love it. The tablet is fast, does everything I have asked of it and the battery, with heavy activity still lasts all day for me. And it recharges fast. Only drawback is it was hard to find a case. I found a great sleeve, perfect fit on clearance at Office max... $12 I think and I love it.

This tablet is full featured and the 5 mp rear camera is awwwwsom , i'm really loving this tab which is an upgrade from my previous Viewsonic G tablet. The sound, video and angles, responsiveness and ports are great assets. I considered , the Toshiba Thrive, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but none of them had as much built in accessories as this tab.

I love this Tablet , I also have a first generation IPad and this is much faster as well. Also supports Flash in Web Pages .. Lots of apps and daily FREE apps from Amazon.com ! Just ordered a SD card to add more storage. I have dozens of apps and still plenty of room left.
