Thanks to Apple, most tablet makers have decided on 10-inches being the optimum size for a tablet. That's fine for a lot of people, but there's clearly room for a smaller and more portable tablet.
Just as Samsung is hedging its bets with 7.7, 8.9 and 10.1-inch models, Acer has decided to release a smaller version of its 10-inch A500 tablet. It still has the same 1GHz dual-core processor, but there are some compromises to be aware of.
CarryPad: While Acer’s Iconia Tab A500 10” tablet has already been made available and been reviewed, its smaller sibling, the 7” Iconia Tab A100 (WiFi-only) and A101 (3G equipped) is now up for pre-order from Amazon UK. The site also lists both version of the device launching on the 14th of May, just 10 days away.
