Acer Iconia Tab A200 | by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)The claimed 8-hour battery life is decent, Android Market support is in, and the trimmings of a 2-megapixel user-facing camera, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi n are all present.

Acer Iconia Tab A200 | Rated 100% by by Douglas-Mccauley (Oct, 2012)i purchased the unit NEW from gamestop on 10-13-12 for $199.00 The Gamestop unit is unique in that it comes loaded with free games and their free online gaming service which supposedly has hundreds of free games.
Camera
Acer Iconia Tab A200 | Rated 60% by by Shalana (Mar, 2013)Well I bought this tab thinking it had a back camera and it didn't so I was sad about that, the other camera is really crappy as well.

Acer Iconia Tab A200 | Rated 80% by by Dayton-movie-fan (Jul, 2012)I guess the backside camera to shoot video, but we have other devices for that.
