Acer Iconia A1-810 is official


The Acer Iconia A1-810 has been made official complete with competitive pricing and 3G as well, if we were to believe some other sources.

Acer calls the Iconia A1 a “full featured one-handed tablet for everyone” but the press release doesn’t bring too many new details to the table from what was already known from the recent hands-on preview of the device.

It has a LED-backlit 7.9-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, a MediaTek Quad Core 1.2GHz processor, as well as a 5-megapixel camera. It also comes in two versions, with 8GB and 16GB of internal memory.

Although the preview said that it would be running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the company doesn’t mentioning anything about the version of our favorite OS that will be found on board the Iconia A1.

The 16GB version of the tablet will be available for purchase in June, starting at $199.99, putting it in the position to compete with the Nexus 7 (which got better battery life after its Android 4.2.2 update).

The interesting part comes from a report Engadget has published from the Acer event in New York. While the specs do match, and a $169 price for the 8GB model is added, the site also says that the tablets will have 3G connectivity, a detail not at all revealed in the Acer press release.

However, TrustedReviews, quoting Oliver Ahrens, President of Acer Europe, mentions two tablet versions, the Iconia A1-810: 8GB and 16GB, Wi-Fi-only, and a price of €169 (which is roughly $221, presumably for the 16 GB version); and the Iconia A-811, a 3G and Wi-Fi version, costing €219 (around $287).  These are probably European versions, but it’s still a pretty strange difference.

We’ll probably have to wait until Acer has the models on sale to find out more details about that 3G support.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
