Acer Iconia Tab A100 7-inch Android Tablet, $326

Iconia TabAcer's 7-inch Iconia Tab runs on the Android Honeycomb operating system, is packed with ports (including microUSB and Micro-HDMI), and has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash. When we tested a preproduction unit, we gave it 3.5 stars because its implementation of the Honeycomb OS was rough around the edges. B&H Foto & Electronics has the lowest price I've seen for the 8GB Iconia Tab--only $326, with no tax or shipping charges.
