"The Acer Iconia A100 is one of our favorite tablets so far," Sascha Segan writes en route to giving the slate a rating of 4 out of 5. He says it is good to great at everything, including multimedia, casual and productivity tasks, but the "teeny-tiny battery" holds it back from being named the new Editors' Choice pick for best Android tablet.

3. CNET

CNET reviewer Eric Franklin comes away impressed with the 7-inch Acer Iconia Tab A100. He can only name two solid cons for the device: its sub-par viewing angles and its short-lived battery. While he calls the tablet one of the most feature-rich around in its size, he fails to rate it higher than 3.5 (out of 5) stars due to pricing and size concerns. "It's still a 7-inch tablet, and larger, better tablet experiences are less than $100 away," he writes.

Dana Wollman is less impressed with the Acer Iconia Tab A100 than other reviewers. She dislikes the feminine fishnet-style pattern on the rear of the device, as well as the battery life. She also runs into issues with some apps force-closing.

7. PC World

PC World gives the Acer Iconia Tab A100 a rating of 3.5 (out of 5), which is one of the better scores issued for a tablet. The colorful display, peppy performance and portability all garner praise, though Melissa J. Perenson does mention the tablet's poor viewing angles, short battery life and bugs with Android Honeycomb. She still likes the Acer Iconia Tab A100 overall. "With its feature-laden, yet practical design and compact size, the A100 has the goods to deliver a modestly sized alternative to the 10-inch class of tablets."

John Brandon's critique of the Acer Iconia Tab A100 is comprised of nine full pages of hands-on analysis and is brimming with illustrative photographs. The tablet aces the publication's benchmark test, but like others, Brandon dislikes the glossy screen and short battery. "This is the best of the 7-inch lot," he writes.

9. Amazon.com

The Acer Iconia Tab A100 garners a rating of 4.3 (out of 5) stars, with nearly 50 users checking in. Overall, those who own it love the tablet, especially the fast performance and the bright, colorful screen. The lackluster battery life earns some gripes, however. Still, at last look, no owner deemed issues sufficient to give the A100 the site's lowest rating.
