Iconia Tab A510 by S.-R. (May, 2012)Over all I am happy with the screen quality, size and features, but my guess is that they still need to do some work on the OS.
Iconia Tab A510 by E--two-peas-in-a-pod (Apr, 2012)The Iconia has the screen real estate and the freedom of operation-big bonuses.

Iconia Tab A510 by c|net (Apr, 2012)the iPad's screen resolution makes the game look demonstrably better than any Tegra 3 version I've seen so far.

Iconia Tab A510 by c|net (Apr, 2012)The A510's 1-megapixel front-facing camera has your name written all over it, and as with most front-facing tablet cameras, it has little redeemable value beyond that function.
Iconia Tab A510 by The Verge (May, 2012)It too has a 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800-resolution display and dual cameras, but doubles the storage capacity to 32GB, comes equipped with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and joins the short list of tablets packing Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor.
processor
Iconia Tab A510 by c|net (Apr, 2012)Acer charges $450 for a 32GB, quad-core tablet, and while that would have been impressive even a couple weeks back, now, with the Transformer TF300 out here, you can get the pretty much the same features - and some nifty exclusive ones - with better screen performance and better cameras for 50 bucks less.

Iconia Tab A510 by The Verge (May, 2012)My everyday use is a bit on the heavy side — web browsing, streaming music for a bit of background noise, a few hours of gaming — but the tablet kept on chugging for just about 10 hours.
Iconia Tab A510 by D.-Lilly--D.-Lilly (Dec, 2012)The weight of the tablet was another concern, because of the bigger battery life, it weighs more than some other tablets in this range.
