Well actually Acer brings us the Iconia A501, sort of like an icon.  The original was brought to us earlier this Spring. AT&T will carry the new Acer Iconia in stores and online starting Sept. 18th nationwide.  You can go in, only at AT&T, for the Iconia A501 and pick up yours contract free for $479.99 or on contract for $329.99, with a 2 year agreement of $35 a month for 3GB of data.  An individual without a contract can choose a postpaid plan or a prepaid plan to receive their data. More information after the break. Click the link,  you know you want to.



The Acer Iconia Tab A501, a 10.1 inch, AT&T 4G mobile broadband capable tablet featuring Android Honeycomb, is designed for both consumers and small businesses. The Acer Iconia gives customers the freedom to enjoy technology around the clock on the AT&T mobile broadband network. AT&T’s HSPA+ technology with enhanced backhaul provides up to 4 times faster data transmission than AT&T’s already fast mobile broadband network.

The tablet’s 10.1-inch multi-touch screen provides precise finger-tip control for leveraging social media, email, productivity applications as well as games and entertainment. Powered by a NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 mobile 1GHz dual-core processor and integrated GeForce™ GPU, customers can enjoy high-definition video, speedy browsing, multi-tasking, digital media playback and flash-based sites, games and applications.

“For tablet users it needs to be always on, connected, and readily available to access the content they want, including entertainment, social networking, email and Internet browsing,” said Glenn Lurie, president, emerging devices, AT&T. 

“Fast and fluid, the Acer Iconia Tab A501 is one of simplest ways to stay informed and entertained whether it’s playing games or viewing a video on its high resolution capacitive touchscreen,” said Sumit Agnihotry, vice president of product marketing, Acer America. “This tablet is not only intuitive, but it’s svelte, stylish and comfortable to hold and carry, which appeals to consumers on the go.”


To ensure the best experience, the best value and the greatest flexibility for the consumer and small business customers, one of two existing monthly billing options are available in lieu of the 2 year contract:

  • Postpaid:  $14.99 for 250 MB or $25 for 2 GB. Customers on the 2 GB plan who exceed their monthly data allotment will be charged $10 per 1 GB of overage. Customers on the 250 MB plan who exceed their monthly data allotment will be charged $14.99 per 250 MB of overage. Charges will appear on customers’ monthly wireless statements.
  • Prepaid:  $14.99 for 250 MB or $25 for 2 GB. Customers on the 2 GB plan who exceed their monthly data allotment may choose to purchase an additional 2 GB for $25. Charges will appear on customers’ credit card statements.
