AT&T nabs Acer Iconia Tab A501, expect it in the summer months
We were pretty sure Acer's Iconia Tab would be riding Big Red -- you know, given the LTE modem and Verizon apps on board -- but it looks like the company will also support America's GSM juggernaut with a "4G" radio of some sort. AT&T just announced that the Acer Iconia Tab A501 will bring the 10.1-inch Honeycomb form factor and dual-core 1GHz Tegra 250 processor to its network sometime in Q2, giving the carrier a Android rival to Sprint's HTC EVO View 4G, T-Mobile's LG G-Slate, and of course Verizon's Motorola Xoom. How many Benjamins will it take to bring one home? Now that, my friends, is the question. You can join us in failing to find the answer in a press release below.
More details on MiTAC Mio A501 Digi-Walker
It seems the fine folks that brought us the sculpted treasure known as the Mio A701 are finally about to unleash its counterpart, the Mio A501. While the A701 was a stylish and unique take on a GPS enabled handset, the A501 trades in hip for hip replacement with a new fat and stubby look. As we mentioned in our first report on the new device, the A501 Digi-Walker still lacks any 3G or WiFi connectivity, but with GPS nav. as its primary chore, this may well be overlooked by fans of the Digi-Walker line. Look for this to land in June for about $675.
Mio's WiFi-less A501 GPS smartphone in pictures
While rumors of Mio cranking out a new duo of GPS handhelds had already been circulating, the company made good on offering up a slightly less-spec'd sibling to its A701 handset, and now we've got the pictures to prove it. Boasting a fairly chunky enclosure but lacking an notched antenna, the A501 packs a TI OMAP processor, 1GB of storage, 64MB of system RAM, a 2.7-inch QVGA touchscreen display, quad-band connectivity, and Bluetooth 2.0 (sorry, no WiFi). Additionally, you'll find the older rendition of Windows Mobile, the obligatory SiRF III GPS chipset, a 1.3-megapixel camera, SD / MMC expansion slots, and a removable Li-ion battery to boot.
