Acer Iconia Tab A500
In fact, it performs quite well when used for regular day activities, it has almost everything that you may want in a portable Tablet and costs much less than the above two tabs that I mentioned. I personally like the jog dial sort of multitasking interface on Iconia Tab A500. It’s UI is quite intuitive and extremely fun to use.
If you are looking for a cheap Honeycomb tablet then Acer Iconia A500 is going to fit your needs perfectly. The quality of products that Acer produce now is very different from they used to when they were first introduced to Indian markets, Iconia Tab is a pretty nice, steady Tablet, go for it without the Brando phobia!
