How to buy Acer Iconia Tab A500?
Got one at Best Buy – Way better than any others on the market.
I love this device my option is it’s better then the Asus EEE Pad Tablet that’s just my option I’ve own this for 3 days know. I love it. This tablet says it can play 1080p videos sweet. The Ipad fans out there you should try out this tablet you will never go back into IPAD Device ever again.
What is the use of having just a Wi-Fi version and no 3G in this AGE?
