Hi ALL,
I've been looking to buy an Android tablet and have focused on the Acer A500. While I'm close to buying one I still have a little more research to do before I actually make the purchase. Then I found this forum and have gotten a lot of information. But I have a few more questions and was hoping to get some more advise.
1. First and foremost, was anyone considering waiting until the Toshiba tablet comes out. The main advantage of the Toshiba is the replaceable battery and it takes a full size SD card rather than the Micro SD. Some of the rumors had it coming out in April, but now the rumors are saying June. It is unknown as to whether the screen is any better or worse than the Acer.
2. I thought I saw on some video review of the A500 that it had Skype. I know it has Google Talk, or something like that, but does it have Skype. If so is it just a phone app that can run on a tablet or is it a real tablet app?
3. I know it comes with some kind of ebook reader, but can it handle Kindle ebooks? If I were to buy a Kindle ebook from Amazon, would it work on the A500.
4. I saw a mention somewhere of an Acer A501 coming out "next month." Does anyone know what the differences are and if "next month" is real?
Well, I think that's all my questions for now. Thanks very much for your help!
