If Acer's previous tablet effort was a little too strong for you, then consider this: Acer has just announced that their 7-inch WiFi only Iconia tab A100 begins today in retail stores across the country.

This is the first 7-inch tablet to sport the latest cellular (Android 3.2 If you are tracking) and it weighs up to 1 pound of hair. A100 comes, taking your typical complement of ports: MicroUSB and micro HDMI (support mirroring) means that this tiny tab works just as well is connected to your TV and your computer.

Like its big brother A100 also supports streaming through Acer clear .fi service, allowing users to connect and wirelessly share media between DLNA-compatible devices. In the meantime, 5 megapixel camera around the back ensures that you will always have a cache of embarrassing photos are ready to share.

A100 is no slouch when it comes to horsepower of NVIDIA Tegra either: there are 2 dual core processor and 1 GB of RAM, running the show. I hope that the energy helps with Flash in the often lackluster Android performance as Flash 10.3 comes pre-installed.

Two models will be available at launch: $ 329 nets you 8 GB of onboard storage, while $ 349 bumps you up to 16 GB. Hoarders media among you may scoff, but both pills can accept MicroSD cards up to 32 GB — have fun filling it all up.
