Acer planning a sliding Android tab for the holidays, won't fit in your stocking

<div><img alt="Acer Sliding Tab" class="aligncenter" height="242" src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6499/6302011acerslider.jpg" style="margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 4px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;" width="360" /></div><br/>Rumor has it that ASUS wont be the only company with a sliding Android tablet this holiday season -- <em>DigiTimes</em> claims to have it on good authority that Acer will be launching its own 10.1-inch slate with a peekaboo QWERTY stashed behind the screen. The ARM-powered device is reportedly being manufactured by Compal, but beyond that your guess is as good as ours. By the time it lands we should be getting our first taste of Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's a pretty safe bet if this unnamed device does ship later this year, it'll do so with Honeycomb on board.

Acer Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 available for pre-order on Amazon UK for 299.99 GBP

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Acer Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 Acer Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 available for pre order on Amazon UK for 299.99 GBP" class="size-full wp-image-221345 aligncenter" height="121" src="http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/3718/aceraspireiconiataba100.jpg" title="Acer-Aspire-ICONIA-TAB-A100" width="330" /></p><br/>The Acer Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 is now available for pre-order on Amazon UK for 299.99 GBP, which is about $487. That money buys you a WiFi-only version of the 7-inch Android tablet, which as far as I’m concerned is good enough.<br/><br/>Rest of the specs include NVidia’s Tegra2 dual-core processor, two cameras (the main one counts 5 megapixels), HDMI port, Bluetooth 3.0, 8GB of built-in storage and a microSD memory card slot. Interestingly enough, Amazon.uk also offers the WiFi-only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab for the same price — and as you may know, Sammy’s tablet lacks dual-core processor.<br/><br/>Now the best part. You may be aware that British always (and I mean always) pay more for their gadgets. I’m not sure why that’s the case — and VAT can’t be the only one to blame — but there is hope the Aspire ICONIA TAB A100 will be offered for less once it hits the U.S. In other words, I wouldn’t be surprised Acer’s tablet gets a below-$400 price tag once it goes on sale in the States.

Acer Aspire One 522 falls from the clouds, sporting dual-core 1GHz Ontario APU?

<div><img alt="" border="1" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/12/12-23-10-acer-aspire-one-522-1293146572.jpg" vspace="4" /></div><br /> AMD Fusion's taken its sweet, sweet time getting here, but we're hearing you'll be able to get your hands on some Atom-beating netbook chips soon -- for instance, in this Acer Aspire One 522, which will reportedly drive its oh-so-glossy 10.1-inch, 720p screen with a 1GHz AMD C-50 Ontario APU. In case you need a brief refresher, Ontario's the chip rated at just nine watts, meaning we should expect some fairly decent battery life here, though possibly not the heroic performance of its 1.6GHz Zacate cousin. Aside from those specs, the Acer's mostly your standard netbook -- three USB ports, VGA-out, a webcam and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi -- though it does have HDMI out, something you won't find on the otherwise similar Aspire One D255. It's hard to say what it'll cost stateside, but a Thai e-tailer's ringing up a version right now with 2GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive for 12,829 baht (about $425). Wonder if it runs Android?
