The Iconia A1, or to give it its full name, the A1-830 is a new version of Acer's original A1 Android tablet but still featuring Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean - there's no word on when a newer version of the OS might be available for the device.
The Iconia A1-830 release date is this month and it will be available for USD $149, with a cited Euro price of €169 (around GBP £141, AUD $256).
While you might choose to compare this tablet to the Asus-made Google Nexus 7 and its competitors, this tablet is designed to slot in a little futher up the tree - it has a 7.9-inch IPS LED-backlit display and Acer also has the B1, which clocks in at 7-inches and is therefore a more natural competitor to the Nexus.
The display has a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the resolution is disappointing at just 1,024 x 768. Even at this price point, your screen needs to compare to the competition.
