Acer and AT&T Debut the New Iconia Tab A501 with AT&T 4G for Untethered Freedom and Mobility
Designed for both consumers and small businesses, and the newest member of the Acer Iconia family of tablets, the Acer Iconia Tab A501 gives customers the freedom to enjoy technology around the clock on the AT&T mobile broadband network. The HSPA+ technology with enhanced backhaul provides up to 4x faster data transmission.
The Acer Iconia Tab A501’s 10.1-inch multitouch screen provides precise fingertip control for leveraging social media, email, productivity applications as well as games and entertainment. Powered by an NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile 1GHz dual-core processor and integrated GeForce™ GPU, it lets customers enjoy high-definition video, speedy browsing, multitasking, digital media playback and Flash®-based sites, games and applications.
“Staying in touch, informed, productive and entertained has never been so easy,” said Sumit Agnihotry, vice president of product marketing, Acer America. “Whether it’s posting a birth announcement on Facebook or staying connected to the office via email, people are connecting more online and in a more personal way. The Acer Iconia Tab A501 with AT&T 4G provides our customers with one of the fastest and most fluid ways to stay on the cutting edge of technology and at the center of what’s happening in the world today. The Iconia Tab A501 is not only intuitive, but it’s fashionable, which is important to mobile consumers.”
High-performance, feature-rich entertainment in a chic design
Svelte and stylish, the Acer Iconia Tab A501’s elegant aesthetics tout a high-gloss finish with an appealing engraved pattern for a flash of style. The alpine silver brushed-metal aluminum chassis is comfortable to hold and carry. It’s also very portable. The thin and light aluminum design weighs just 1.69 pounds and measures only 10.24" (w) x 6.97" (d) x 0.52" (h), so it fits nicely in a handbag, briefcase or backpack.
Designed for HD entertainment, the 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen tablet is undeniably accurate and responsive. Its high-resolution 1280 x 800 TFT WXGA display provides an optimal 80-degree wide viewing angle and the high-color contrast allows customers to enjoy brilliant HD video in a 16:10 aspect ratio. The ample 10.1-inch size is perfect for movies, games, social networking and scrolling through photos.
Fun on the run
Two integrated easy-to-use cameras include a 5MP rear-facing model with flash and auto-focus for capturing detailed, high-quality video and images. The 2MP fixed-focused front-facing webcam enables video conferencing over Wi-Fi and records HD video and comments for capturing memories, which can be shared via social networking sites.
With its 10-point touch display and six-axis motion sensor meter control, this leading-edge tablet smoothly runs premium HD arcade and online games on a par with high-end game consoles. The built-in GPS can be combined with various apps to enable customers to enjoy navigation and location searches while traveling and driving. Plus, integrated Bluetooth® allows consumers to connect the tablet to a variety of other devices, such as headsets and printers.
Readers will appreciate that the new tablet comes pre-installed with Acer LumiRead and GoogleBooks™ eReading apps. An ambient sensor enables the Acer Iconia Tab A501 to be used in many types of environments, while the integrated accelerometer allows auto-rotation between portrait and landscape modes for viewing movies, websites, games and more.
The Acer Iconia Tab A501 has long battery life with two 3260 mAh Li-polymer batteries that provide up to eight hours of playback for casual games, eight hours of HD video playback and 10 hours of Wi-Fi Internet browsing.2
With two different models available, including one with 16GB of flash storage3 and another with 32GB3, the Acer Iconia Tab A501 gives customers extremely fast access to programs and apps. The microSD card reader supports user-supplied microSD cards with capacities up to 32GB, so customers can download their own digital content, including videos, movies and eBooks.
Customers can connect to Wi-Fi networks via Acer InviLink Nplify 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Certified™ wireless technology. They can also set up multiple email addresses and view Microsoft® Office documents using the trial version of the “Docs to Go” app for getting things done quickly.
Easy does it with Android™ Honeycomb
