Longing for some diversity to your hunt for a Honeycomb tablet? Acer’s new Iconia Tab A500 doesn’t really stray from the Tegra 2 norm relating to internal specs, however it does have that brushed aluminum back, a whole-sized USB 2.0 port, and a sane $450 price point going for it. You’ll get 16GB of storage and 802.11b/g/n WiFi connectivity on your money, though ASUS’ similarly outfitted Eee Pad Transformer must also be prominent in your radar because it’ll ask for an excellent humbler $399 when it makes its slightly delayed US launch tomorrow . Let’s hope the advent of those Taiwanese cousins nudges other Android tablets makers into accomplishing just a little price war, eh?
