Netflix on acer iconia tab a500? ?

Jul 27, 2011 by Steven | Posted in Laptops & Notebooks

Is there a way to get Netflix app for the acer iconia tab a500? Rooting is a option for me.


If you root it, yes. I don't think it's available for unrooted Iconia's yet, so rooting is your only option. That or wait a little while until it is officially supported.

My family bought me an Acer Iconia TAB A500 for my birthday and it waslocked and asked for a password and sadly it was pre owned and he moved to california. And the last person to have it didnt unlock


take it to the closest acer service center in your area. they can reflash the firmware (like formatting, but this also reinstall the android os in it) to make it brand new again.

You will have to buy a wireless router connect it to the modem and set a wireless network, the router will come with software and a install/user guide on the CD that comes with the router. No way to make a modem wireless with out a wireless router.

Feature set summary for Acer Iconia A100 review

This is a Wi-Fi-only device, so you may want to look at a more expensive alternative. Also, there isn't much in the way of onboard apps, so you'll need to download your own choices. However, it does a neat job of things such as contacts and email and has usable front and rear-facing snappers - for a price of around £250.

 

Style and handling summary for Acer Iconia A100 review

The A100 is quite heavy but has a neat shape that allows it to fit inside a jacket pocket

 

Battery power summary for Acer Iconia A100 review

You should get around eight hours from a full charge, which is fine if you're running apps such as Skype or logging into Twitter, but for power-hungry tasks such as viewing videos, the power will drain far quicker.

Acer Iconia A501 Tab Available for Pre-Orders

06.09.11

AT&T had earlier announced that the company will introduce the 4G Acer Iconia A501 Tab within the year. This version of the device was similar to the Wi-Fi only version although it had an integrated 4G radio.  Following the announcement by Acer of the availability of the tablet within the year, no other information was released by the company as it has yet to enter the market. But Amazon recently posted a pre-order page as it gave indications that the 4G Acer Iconia A501 Tab may soon enter the US market.

The 4G Acer Iconia A501 Tab was listed as a 16GB device with a price tag of around $500. Some observers have indicated that with the listed price of the device, it would make the 4G Acer Iconia A501 Tab among the most reasonably-priced ten-inch 4G tablet that runs on the Honeycomb Android OS.

Iconia Tab A100 Review

Hardware

Those of you heavily aware of all Android goings on in the world should be questioning whether I refrained from mentioning the LG G-Slate because I thought it was actually a 10-inch tablet or because I didn’t think it was worth mentioning. Truth is it’s neither: the G-Slate being an 8.9-inch tablet and having 2 cameras on the back for 3D video and photo collection, I consider it to be another completely unique device. The G-Slate compares with the A100 in that it is smaller than 10-inches, and that’s where the similarities end. The G-Slate is much heavier than the A100, the Acer tablet is much more smoothly formed, and the G-Slate has the ability to display 3D media while you’re wearing your included 3D red and blue glasses.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 review -- Engadget

by Sean Hollister

We first saw Acer's 10-inch Android tablet five months ago -- when it didn't have so much as a name -- but by golly, it doesn't look like the hardware has aged a single day. In some ways, that's a wonderful thing, as we're big fans of the stylish brushed aluminum case, which plays off of the iPad aesthetic without looking like a blatant clone. On the other hand, we were disappointed to find that a few of the iffy design decisions we noticed in earlier prototypes have carried over to the final frame -- that aluminum sandwich has very visible seams (one snagged an armhair) and the back sometimes creaks when squeezed. At 1.69 pounds and 13.3mm thick, the A500's most definitely portable, but still...

Android Honeycomb Update for Iconia Tab A500 Now Sept » Phone ...

by James

Phones Review Quickie: It appears that most Android tablet makers seem to have some difficulty when pushing out an update to their devices just lately, as you may know if you are an owner of the Acer Iconia Tab A500 slate, the tablet was due to receive the Android 3.2 Honeycomb update on the 25th of this month, but unfortunately never materialised.

According to the guys over Liliputing , the slate now has a new date scheduled for the Honeycomb update, and that Acer has given reason as to why the update was delayed. Apparently they are working to resolve some issues with GPS settings.

The android tablet maker has apparently now posted the new update date to the Acer Malaysia Facebook page, and the Android 3.2 Honeycomb update is now scheduled to roll out to the Acer Iconia A500 as of the 10th of September.
