Acer Iconia One 7 Primed For A Release

Acer Iconia One 7 Primed For A ReleaseAndroid-powered tablets are dime a dozen in the market these days, and there should be a model to suit just about every single need and taste. The thing is, which particular model should you decide to purchase when the time comes? Acer has not exactly been a huge player in this department, but their entry level model has been a decent performer. The $130 Iconia B1-720 was in January earlier this year, and there is a new Acer Iconia One 7 model that is well on its way after passing the rigors of the FCC this week.

    PSA: Acer Iconia W3 up for pre-order at Office Depot, Staples starting at $350

    PSA Acer Iconia W3 up for preorder at Office Depot, Staples starting at $350

    It’s always refreshing when a product catches us by surprise, but thanks to several leaks, the Acer Iconia W3 definitely didn’t fall into that category. So, when it was unveiled at Computex 2013, we were ready for it in all its 8.1-inch 1,280 x 800, dual-core Intel Atom, Windows Pro 8 glory. The wee slate also ushered in Microsoft’s temporary offer of Office for free on 10-inch or smaller Windows Pro tablets, and you can now pre-order the 32GB version at Staples for $380 or $350 from Office Depot, while a 64GB version from Amazon will run you $430. An optional keyboard should arrive soon for $90, so if you’ve been coveting a small form-factor Windows tab — RT-free — hit the source.

    Acer Iconia B1-710 tablet swings by the FCC (updated)

    Acer Iconia B1710 tablet swings past the FCC

    Back when Acer unveiled the Iconia A1 tablet, it slipped out an upgrade to its starter Iconia B1 series, the B1-710. That refresh has at last surfaced in the US — through the FCC, anyway. The 7-inch, WiFi-toting slate has cleared the FCC’s approval process with its subtle design tweaks and doubled 1GB of RAM in tow. Unfortunately, Americans aren’t much closer to actually buying one. While Canadians may get a turn when we’ve spotted a (currently unconfirmed) $230 Acer Canada listing, the new B1 is primarily bound for Europe. It should cost £110 / €129 (about $166) for the WiFi model’s June release, and £129 / €179 (between $195 and $230) for a 3G-equipped B1-711 edition arriving in July.

    Update: The Canadian listing now appears to be an A1, not the B1 we saw earlier.

    Iconia W3 tablet live on Acer’s Finnish website, confirms 8.1 inches of Windows 8 Pro

    Iconia W3 tablet live on Acer's Finnish website, confirms 8.1 inches of Windows 8 Pro

    Info about the Iconia W3 Windows 8 tablet has already slipped out a few times, and now this 8.1-incher is live on Acer’s Finnish website. While there’s no mention of price or availability, the specifications list matches what’s already been leaked. You’re looking at Windows 8 Pro running atop an Intel Atom Z2760 CPU, aided by 2GB of RAM. Other features include a 1,280 x 768 touchscreen, an eight-hour battery, up to 64GB of storage, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. Port lovers will be pleased to find micro-HDMI and micro-USB hookups onboard, as well as a microSD slot. Microsoft Word comes pre-installed, but there’s no concrete info about the optional full-size keyboard dock — other than that it exists, anyway. It’ll likely be closer to June when we’ll be staring at it in the flesh, so you’ll have to settle for the info at the source link for now.

    Acer Confirms 10-Inch Iconia A3 Tablet Will Debut This Summer

    Acer Confirms 10 Inch Iconia A3 Tablet Will Debut This Summer

    We recently got our hands on the Acer Iconia A1, which is the company’s upcoming Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean tablet which has yet to be released, and we’re already hearing about its next Android tablet, the Iconia A3.

    The news comes from Acer’s senior vice president Scott Lin as he recently confirmed a new 10-inch tablet will be arriving this summer, which will be known as the Iconia A3. Lin didn’t go into specifics on what exactly the Iconia A3 will include, but he did say he hopes it will help make up some of the 10 million slates Acer plans to sell this year.

    Saying the Iconia A3 will help Acer sell 10 million slates this year is a little ambitious considering we don’t even know what it’ll feature and how it’ll set itself apart from everyone else’s 10-inch tablet. We don’t even know if it’ll be an Android or Windows tablet, so we guess we’ll just have to wait until the summer rolls around to hear more about the Iconia A3.

    Unannounced Acer Iconia W3 8-inch tablet leaks on Amazon, priced at $380

    Unannounced Acer Iconia W3 8inch tablet leaks on Amazon, priced at $380

    Acer’s Iconia W3 tablet hasn’t been formally announced, but that hasn’t stopped Amazon from giving the TBA product a shiny new home on its website. The page appears to be a bit incomplete, with the summary listing an “1.5 GHz Apple A4” in the processor field, which we can’t imagine is correct. The product description below might be a bit more on point, though. There you’ll find a dual-core Atom Z2760 processor, an 8.1-inch 1280 x 800-pixel CrystalBrite LCD display, integrated graphics with 64MB of memory, 32 gigs of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, 2-megapixel front- and rear-facing cameras, and a two-cell 3,500mAh battery, keeping the Windows 8 tab powered for up to 8 hours. There’s no word on when the 1.1-pound slate is set to ship (or when it’ll make an official debut, for that matter), but assuming the Amazon web producers have managed to input pricing info correctly, you’ll be able to pick one up for $380 sometime in the future.

    Acer Iconia W3 reportedly leaks, mates an 8-inch tablet with Windows 8

    Acer Iconia W3 reportedly leaks, mates an 8inch screen with Windows 8

    Microsoft has repeatedly told us that we’ll see smaller Windows 8 tablets, but all that talk has amounted to precious little walk. If the latest rumor is accurate, though, Acer might be the first to take action: French site Minimachines claims to have images and details of the Iconia W3, which could be the first 8-inch tablet on Microsoft’s newer platform. The slate wouldn’t be a barnstormer with a 1.8GHz Atom Z2760 and 2GB of RAM, but performance also wouldn’t be its selling point — the W3 would be small enough to fit in one hand while carrying the full software support of a PC. It will reportedly include front and rear cameras as well as a possible microSDHC slot, and the accessories we see in the purported leak involve both a tiny keyboard dock and a cover that doubles as a kickstand. We don’t know if there’s any truth to claims of a launch around the back to school season in September, although that would certainly be appropriate timing for what could be a welcome backpack companion.

    [Thanks, Pierre]

    Acer Iconia A1-810 Might Be iPad Mini Rival

    Acer Iconia A1 810 Might Be iPad Mini RivalAnother day, another tablet. Hmmm, is it me, or does the mobile device category in the consumer electronics seem to take a medical slant with the word “tablet’ being used? Well, the iPad mini might have wowed a certain segment of the market, but frankly, it would have been better if the iPad mini came with higher end specifications right from the get go, but that has not stopped the tablet from doing relatively well in the market. Well, the Acer Iconia A1-810 might prove to be quite the iPad mini competitor, considering how it will arrive with a 7.9” IPS display complete with 1024 x 768 resolution, which is similar in nature to the existing iPad mini. Of course, this does not do away with the very real possibility of the iPad mini being revamped very, very soon with a higher resolution display.

    Other facts on the Acer Iconia A1-810 include Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, a quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek MT8125 processor, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, GPS support, an HDMI port, a VGA front-facing camera with a 5-megapixel shooter at the back, 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card support. The tablet itself tips the scales at 460 grams, where it will also be accompanied by a 3,250 mAh battery.
