Acer's Iconia Line Gets UK pricing, April 20 Release

Acer’s Iconia line of tablets has been given UK pricing and a release date of April 20. Starting at 7-inches, pricing for the tablets starts at £300.

If you’ve been waiting, cash in hand, for the right Android Honeycomb tablet to creep along, then April is most likely the month you’ll be shopping. With the Asus EeePad Transformer due out this week (and starting at £370), Amazon has just confirmed the arrival of Acer’s Iconia A100, A101, A500, A501, and W500+KB.

Sporting a 7-inch display, Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor, 8GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, WiFi and Bluetooh 2.1, the A100 runs on Honeycomb and will retail for £299. The 3G version is shipping on the same day (and available for preorder now) and starts at £399.

If 7-inches is too close to a smartphone for you, there’s also the 10-inch A500 with 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a Tegra 2 processor and Google's Honeycomb OS for £449.99 (£529.99 for the 3G model).

Those looking for something a little more productivity-orientated will likely want a more full featured OS and a keyboard. For them the W500+KB is a 10.1-inch Windows tablet tablet with a keyboard dock. It boasts a dual core AMD-C50 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, Bluetooth, WiFi and Windows Home 7 32-bit. Priced at £529.99, it’s shipping the same day as the rest of Acer’s tablet line.
