Since Acer’s intentions to release the Iconia Tab A700 were made clear at CES in January, the Ice Cream Sandwich based Android tablet has been one of the most highly anticipated tablets of 2012. The big brother of the A510 will sport a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and an impressive high definition 1900 x 1200 display, which Acer will see as its main selling point.
