#2 in Acer tablets with 3G
Released October, 2012
Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)I like the idea of these powerful, quad-core (or more) processors in tablets and feel there's an opportunity here to make some incredible-looking games that take full advantage of the Tegra 3's 12 GPU core architecture.

Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)With much better cameras available on newer phones and the inherent douchebaggery of taking photos with your tablet, I have to wonder: if you're not going to implement your camera on a tablet at least as well as Asus does, why do it at all?

Iconia Tab A110 by c|net (Jul, 2012)1080p and 720p movies from outside sources ran smoothly on Dice Player, and I noticed no big advantage (other than sharper subtitles) to running these movies on a higher-resolution screen.
screen resolution

Screen
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)Acer seemed to have simply swapped in a 1,920x1,200 screen into the A510 without much thought as to how that would affect usability.
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)Ring is an app shortcut and carousel-like bookmark hub that appears after you tap the green ring symbol at the bottom of the screen.
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)While the tablets share the same resolution, there is a disparity in the quality of each screen.
Ports
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)In the middle of the bottom edge is a Micro-USB port next to a reset pinhole, with speakers on the far right and left sides.
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)The screen looks great and Micro-HDMI and microSD are welcome inclusions; however, there are other tablet choices out there that are worth more for the money.
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)The microSD slot (supporting up to 64GB cards) and micro HDMI are welcome inclusions.
Resolution
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)Riptide GP looks sharper at its highest resolution compared to tablets with 1,280x800-pixel screens; however, its frame rate is somewhat disappointing next to the Transformer Infinity, which is smooth even with the game's resolution cranked.
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)Asus smartly used an upgraded version of the Tegra 3 to compensate for the bandwidth demands of a high-resolution screen.
Operating System
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)Not that I can put much blame at the feet of game studios alone: the money is definitely in iOS right now.
Format
Acer Iconia Tab A110 | Rated 65% by by c|net (Jul, 2012)On the opposite edge is a Micro-HDMI port and a door covering a 64GB-capacity microSD slot.
