It’s not yet clear if this model will be compatible with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update and with Huawei’s yet unclear track record of updates I can’t really predict anything right now.                                  The tablet looks interesting and it resembles its predecessor and the HTC Flyer a bit.

Acer Iconia Tab A700 Now on Sale, Priced at Merely $430, Offers Full HD & Tegra 3

The Acer Iconia Tab A700 is now part of an interesting sale, with a graph below showing how prices have dropped lately.

However, having seen how the Acer Iconia A510 messed up recently, I have lost all my faith in Acer...
