Acer Iconia — a tablet with a difference

The device has come with several new innovations, especially the use of second screen which can be used as virtual keyboard, that too in several languages.

In this world where new technology is being produced and discarded at a rapid pace, Acer has some time back come out with a tablet named as Iconia Tab A500, a product which really stands apart from the rest for many different things it allows the users to do.

The makers call this Android 3.0 based tablet a 'touchbook' simply because there is no keyboard in the device. It has a screen on the normal place with another one where the usual keyboard is placed in other devices. 

Android 3.1 update coming in June to Acer and Asus

The update to Acer and Asus devices will bring additional support for a variety of USB based peripherals and accessories.

Asus, which will introduce its Eee Pad Transformer tablet in India next month, has announced that it will offer an Android 3.1 update over the air starting this June. It will announce the country-wise schedule in June itself.

EeePad transformer, as the name suggests, is a 10.1 inch tablet that can also become a netbook once attached to its keypad dock. Transformer currently ships with Android 3.0, and is one of the first devices to get the updated version.
