  • Apple blows. Brainwashes the customers. Fuck u Apple.

  • Actually, the iconia tab shoots @ 360p and the mic is very poor.

  • thx for this review , i bought the acer few month ago for 300€ with thor rom its very good ;)

  • the acer has a bigger screen, plays more video (flv, divx and the rest), does flash

  • @TheSisko1 also the acer 2 Cameras, has hdmi output and a micro sd card input and a usb socket and a docking port. WAKE UP APPLE YOU'RE CRAP COMPARED TO THE ACER A 500

  • acer tablet all da way fuck anything that has to do with apple!

  • there wasnt a problem accept the operators lack of working knowledge of this acer is all.

  • @gadgetjm NONE of the Apple devices have Gorilla Glass. I know that from experience because my iPad 2 broke from a drop on a soft floor although it was in an Ion Factory Cover and also if you look it up you will see that none of the Apple devices have Gorilla Glass,

  • both are childs play..My Asus Ep 121 shit an ipad out the other day.

  • apple tries to show off with their products

  • Acer wins along with android. obviously the ipad runs. smoother it is a dedicated device to ios. when we look at android we have a multitude of devices with each seperate corporation racing to port android to their device. so android doesn't have the comfortability to sit on a product and design a is around it. its completely opposite. good review though!

  • i have acer iconia and my friend has ipad 1 and 2 and i can tell you that iconia is way better then ipad 1 and ipad 2 together. ;)

  • flash is overrated on a mobile device, it eats the battery and its unstable

  • as always acer makes a better product

  • Thor.

  • сука кто чурку пустил обзоры снимать???

  • the new 2012 certainly gets best mileage, about 50 mpg.

  • The iPad 2 is jailbroken on 5.0.1 witch makes it the best out there right now period

  • what?

    

  • The acer is way way better because rhe acer has flash;) and u can watch live tv on it

  • The iPad is just one big ass ipod #Bullshit !

  • @mikepourch lol

  • Actaully I bought my Iconia a500 for 400$ before taxes in May 2011 lol

  • UHAUhauhAUHUAHAUHu amricano pica! acer iconia humilha... e os americano que vao se fuder!! huahauhauhauahuah

  • iPad 2 is just a very sleek, solid device. It's thin, the apps store is very extensive and it's just overall better than anything in the market today.

  • nice review. also try comparing tablets on facebook with tabletr

  • nice review. also try comparing tablets on facebook with tabletr

  • Блин я не пойму это англиский????

  • It's not fair to compare both tablet to open web pages while ipad2 doesn't support flash, and a500 support. It definitely needs more time to open a web page with flash than open it without flash.

  • during the whole video (except that time when he was unable to open the youtube video) he bitches about the ipad but in the end he still says ipad is better. i don't get it. are we people programmed to think that what's more pricey is automatically better? to me, the acer is the winner, i don't have either but i think the acer is way better.

  • @Ivanaaaable i think the ipad has better performance thats all but the acer has bettter cameras and all the ports make it a plus

  • @Rickygt07 thanks for the reply. i've been thorn between the two, but i think i'll go with the acer because the ipad might has better quality or maybe even better performance at times..but the apps aren't free, there's no flash, i'll need an adapter for this and that, this and that..the adapters only will cost me just as much as buying another tablet. so apple - big no, no. :)

  • @DeDREWS1F That may be true and all but the point is he did, as you can see in the video, compared 2 similar tablets. Nonone said anything about the quality of Acer vs. Apple.

  • @DeDREWS1F You mind explaining why not?

  • @Moonbase0ne Well bec if u know anything about computers you would know the acer is near the bottom, and thats computers, this is a tablet, you might as well get a kindle fire. Apple has been working with portable devices for a very long time, especially the itouch, basically a small ipad. The only thing that lives up to ipad is the asus transformer and eee pad slider. personally i hate apple all together, well just macs. Dont even say that acer is "good" bec thr not even that. Get llevono tab

  • Anything thats android are better <3

  • Those problems your having with android are BROWSER related, dummy.

    Use a better browser.

  • any android tablet using 3.0 or higher is actually a "Tablet computer"

    prior to that, they are just giant phones.

    The iPAD is just a giant ipod (a phone without service)

    and because of how fuckin anal apple is, that will never change.

  • Acer is better. i have it and I'm starting to find out that the more you add to the home screen of it, it starts lagging. like live wallpapers, apps, and widgets. the iPad's smoother cause there's a lot less going on in there. plus i sold my iPad for this. iPad is like a larger iPod. and a bit smoother.

  • im watching this on my Acer iconia a500

  • android has wack apps that why their free...and just jailbreak ipad, then EVERYTHING is free..Android cant charge for apps if they suck

  • @derockhoudini1 actually android has a black market to so you can get any kind of app free(even iphone,ipad,and ipod apps).so therefore android kicks major iass and android is better. plus the android patform is open unlike the uptight ipad with the same look for everyone jail broken or not and ican say this because i have the ipad and hate it and selling it for the iconia

  • @dering559 Wow, that would be amazing. how do you get ipad apps free on android? I love ipad because of apps such as garageband, korg synthesizer and keynote

  • Acer All the way :-) :-)

  • derka derka

  • Бля, я с утра сонный, включаю видео и чуть не ахринел. Что-то говорят, а не понятно! Я аж подумал что родной язык забыл(

  • Comment removed

  • Бляя, в натуре,нет на Русском аа? Хелп сомбади, тренслейт фор ас плииииз

  • he should learn how to use android before he compares

  • I have both and i like both for different reasons. The ipad has a smoother interface and better battery life. The iconia is nice for its ports and a bit bigger screen. Overall their both great just depends on what you going to do with it.

  • you cant really compare these at all, but why not

  • @DeDREWS1F clearly you can, because he compared them perfectly.

  • His accent sounds like Gaga's (mark ivanir) from Undisputed 2 and 3 :D :D

  • @gadgetjim is the acer a500 better than a first gen ipad.

  • @MrSpooky520 yes

  • based on this vid, i definitely see android still have sum glitches. ipad is more solid in that area.

  • Great review.. great job gadgetjm.. keep them coming.

  • ill with acer

  • wtf is tht accent??

  • @deezomaximo my bad if you agree with me

  • acer iconia a500 is better i have its more bigger then the ipad and the ipad is just a brand name like if you agree

  • @fudgebrain1 In my opinion Ipad apps are far better than Android. Obviously the tablets are similiar devices

  • Ti bre ne znash da prichash! :S

  • Now this is a review

  • Imo google put too much google chrome into the browser on this OS. It feels more like im using touch screen windows OS rather than Android when web browsing. The rest of the software is unique and brilliant. Acer did a remarkable job in building their first tablet as well.

  • Iconia Tab has way more features.

  • @deezomaxima U MAD BRO? Well I have both soooo..... Trollllllll!!!!

  • @Monboy46 Really? I have no reason to be mad because I know the deal so kiss my ass. Not even sure why you're responding to me when I was agreeing with you.

  • Well I still think the iPad it's good but not has the acer,it could have a virus but if doesn't care if you have it in good hands well,it's like my iPod just than its more big......

  • @Monboy46 Exactly because it is an Ipod. Apple has a lot of people fooled but it's not a true tablet. I have the first gen Ipad because my company gave it to me but I hate it. It's heavy and it hurts your hands when laying in bed and trying to browse or watch movies. 7 in tabs are better IMO.

  • @trey9386 Lol!!!!!!! You're right no I don't give a fuck comment back at me that's why YouTube was create it :)

  • ipad is SHIT ACER RULLEZ :D

  • people dont like android because they are to stupid to figure out how to use it.

  • @TheTyman69 Agreed.

  • Im getting an iPad 2 cuz my A500 keeps crashing even I rest it 3 times.

  • @SilentZero IPad 2 is the way to go sir. I have one and love the quality of it. I hope you enjoy yours more than I do.

  • well I guess your just dumb, the acer tablet has a better camera, it has more room, it has a usb slot and you can put a sd card in it, the android app store's apps are mostly free but the apple shop cost a lot more money. I could go on all day

  • acer looks like a BIG NOKIA E7

  • You gonna make an app that can ignite bombs? hahaha

  • Ew Acer. If Acers tablet is anything like their laptops, then no thank you. Acer is known for cheap products. Though I have Apple everything, I come from a pc/android background. I had way to many problems and one day I just said I'm through. Understand price is a variable however, you get what you pay for especially with technology. I needed something that works, not a lot of constant updates, and lasts at least 4 years. So far, Apple has met my needs and I can't be more satisfied. This review

  • @trey9386 Nvidia chip is enough for anyone to buy it. It's a good tab. I have and Ipad as well and it's boring as hell.

  • @deezomaxima Well if you expect any tablet to walk around and fetch you a beer, then you have some years to wait. But if you think it is boring somehow while using it then that is your opinion. But with my previous comment, essentially I am talking about QUALITY. It doesn't matter how many widgets, ports, hacking, free apps etc a tablet or a phone has. If the quality, meaning the hardware, is just crap, then what good is the software? It's useless. Apple has their quality of their

  • @trey9386 Well since you seem to know about quality, talk to me about ALL of the android devices that have "so called" bad quality and not those cheap Chinese versions either. There are a ton of Android tabs out there that simply blow away the Ipod Touch on steroid. Ipad isn't even a true tab anyway and don't tell me how the Ipad is smoother than all the new Gingerbread and Honeycomb tabs because you'd be lying.

  • @deezomaxima products down pact. Android doesn't. How do I know? Look at all the Android updates that came out within this past year. Android honeycomb, icecream sandwich, gingerbread, probably Android Vanilla Latte is next. Apple made one update this year which was IOS 5 and that's it because the quality of their previous hardware was just that good. Android can flood the market all they want but if the quality isn't there then good luck selling non-hardware computers.

  • @trey9386 The problem with these Apple devices isn't the hardware at all. They are nice and well built, it's the IOS. Compared to Android, it purely sucks until you jailbreak it. So what do you mean when you say QUALITY? IOS is crap and outdated. Android is open source and being made better every day. Don't be fooled by your and every other Apple fanboy opinions because they are wrong to say the least.

  • @deezomaxima if you care about the different functions it has such as widgets and other things then that is your concern not mine. If you want to jailbreak your Ipad2 so you can use other non-hardware features then go ahead. I myself prefer not to. You can call me an Apple fanboy, i really dont care. However, when I buy anything, I base it off of quality. Quality, for your small mindedness, is a product that exceeds in all areas of its uses and is built to last.

  • @trey9386 So I see I'm either talking to a dumbass kid or a REALLY dumbass adult. I never called you a fanboy and since you resorted to calling me "small minded", you can kiss my ass. You're meaning of QUALITY is bull dude. Apple doesn't produce any flawless products. Remember the Macbook wireless issue? Don't give me the bull about Apple making products that's better than everyone elses. The last time I looked, the Ipad is using a processor made by Samsung.

  • @deezomaxima I had a Gateway PC. It lasted at most 2 years while getting to that 2 year mark, i had problems with it. Then I went with a Macbook Pro....no problems and going on 3 years. I had a HTC Evo...horror story and it barely lasted a year. Went to the Iphone 4..it is a phone, a smartphone at that, that works. Tablet...wasnt going to try anything else so I went with the Ipad 2 and love my products cause of their quality. So if you are mad that I am applying some economics here

  • @trey9386 You had a problem with the HTC Evo? Funny, because I've never had a problem with mine and it's been overclocked and rooted for a year running Cyanogenmod 7. Not one problem!!! I had the Iphone first and gave it to my daughter to use as a MP3 player. The HTC Evo was and still is better in all hardware aspects and it's been proven.

  • @deezomaxima and not basing it off of name brand or what has more features, then again, that is your opinion. I like Apple because they have a reputation for making good quality products that are easy to use. I dont care for the extra functions or the camera per se and all that other non-sense that Apple haters like yourself come up with. I believe I brought a good quality product that meets my needs that couldnt be met with all the other similar products.

  • @deezomaxima if the other products exceed in quality instead of functionality then I would consider Sony, Samsung, etc etc. But until then, I am Apple for life and you need to quit drinking that Apple hater-aid. 

  • @trey9386 No one over here is drinking Apple Hater-aid. If you comprehended correctly, you'd see where I said I didn't have a problem with Apple's hardware but you just want to argue which I'm not going to do. Also, don't talk to me about functionality when I can clear fuckin trouble codes in my car with my Android device. Apple has nothing like that to support auto enthusiasts like myself. Apple has lost the battle and it's pretty much over for them. Just face it and move on.

  • @deezomaxima btw, it doesn't matter how many android products are shipped to a retail store. It is how many are sold. Another thing; there is a reason why every tablet that comes out is compared to the Ipad or every phone compared to the Iphone...it is because of QUALITY. People know, lovers and haters of Apple products, that the quality of their product is just that good. But if you want a tab that gives you $200 worth of quality then go ahead. Not hurting me.

  • @trey9386 No one is trying to argue with anyone until you said: " Don't be fooled by your and every other Apple fanboy opinions because they are wrong to say the least." Check your previous posts. As far as your responses, you really didn't say much of anything let alone what you said held no basis especially with the cussing involved. Like I said before, your opinion is your opinion and same goes for me and everyone else. But dont be offended or upset when someone prefers an Apple

  • @trey9386 I said "your". I didn't call you a fanboy and no one here is upset. Pretty damn please because I just went out and bought the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus for use in my car. To hell with the Ipod Touch on steroids with a Iphone IOS. Boo!!!!!

  • @trey9386 product over an Android product. All you talked about was the features of your Android phone, how it can turn on your car, how it can code for you, ect etc. Never did you talk about the quality of your Android product. Which if it is still working then good for you. If you don't like my def/view of what a quality product is, then good for you. I really dont care because all Apple haters are the same. You all discuss features but never quality. And it is fine. Oh btw,

  • @trey9386 you say Apple has lost the battle and it is over them?? I doubt that since they are the second most profitable company after Exxon making about $26 billion in the U.S. and about $65 billion world wide. That is a fact. HTC/Android can't even come close regardless of their product features. That is all facts, look it up. But if you dislike Apple then that is your opinion. My only opinion of you sir is that from this talk with you, I deduce that you are an Apple hater. Good-day.

  • @trey9386 Apple has lost because Android has taken over. Period.

  • @trey9386 Oh by the way; no need to respond since I will not respond back. Good day.

  • @trey9386 LOL, You're responding to yourself? Yeah don't respond anymore.

  • It's like comparing a Maddona vs. Paris Hilton

    -_- Paris Hilton Wins(Acer)!!!!!

  • @Monboy46 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL........

  • @Monboy46 So if Paris Hilton is an Acer, does that mean I will get an STD or virus when using her since she has been with countless other users of both sexes??? If so no thanks. I will go with Maddona if she is an Ipad 2. lol. ( just messing with you. Yes I own an Ipad 2 but I just had to comment on your post; you left yourself open for that one.)

  • @timothy17fan The main word in your comment was "adapter" with the iPad everything needs an adapter. By the time I get enough adapters to make the iPad do what even a $99 android tablet does out of the box I could have bought a second iPad.

  • @Timothy17Fan My cousin likes to capture family photos using her iPad and my one of my friend like to capture portrait using his Acer Iconia Tab A500. And to be honest, my cousin looks like an idiot taking photos using her iPad while my friend's Iconia Tab when he took photos, looks more standard. Bad english, i know: at least i could understand which one is better ;)

  • @Timothy17Fan he said you can but they cost more. Listen to him before you blowup fanboy.

  • Well the force close is something I somewhat enjoy over Apple just going to home screen without telling me it crashed. Kill some apps and than you won't have it crash just like with iOS. I like Acer because it is more than a big iPod touch. It works as a computer and not a iPod touch.

  • too many this and this on this video This , this , this one , this , like this , this ....

  • PEOPLE I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS SHOWING THAT THE ACER ICONIA CANT HOLD HQ 1080P VIDEOS !... THAT WAS MAYBE BEFORE, CAUSE ON THE NEW ANDROID SYSTEM 3.2 I CAN SEE EVERYTHING I WANT ON 1080, SO PLEASE STOP BEING SUCH STUPID , I DONT CARE IF YOU THINK APPLE IS SACRED,, LOL IT IS NOT YOU ASSHOLES, THEY JUST MAKE THINGS EXPENSIVE AND STUPID PEOPLE WITH NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL BUY IT JUST CAUSE THEY THINJ IS BETTER WHEN IT IS NOT!! READ THE SPECS !! READDDD THE SPECS !!!!! LOL

  • Also, only a fool would go around taking photos with a 10 inch tablet.

  • Yet another biased review trying to trash the iPad. Complete BS. Also for all the biased reviews, Apple does have an adapter that allows things like hdmi out, and other things. But of course the reviews always leave the truth out.

  • yeah i dont really think his voice is anooying it pretty normal i guess ppl are just jerks

  • With such a hudge price difference, far better HDMI support on the Acer, early Android 4.0 updates in January, full usb supprot for standard wirless keyboards, mouse support, game controller support (xbox 360 and bluetooth based ps3 controllers). THe current A500's and A501 4g's run Android 3.2.1.

    It supprots 1080p video recording sicne Honeycomb was updates to support it. Supprot of usb storage and even external Solid state drives is a plus.

  • good video.

    You have confirmed what I was expecting from the Acer.

    Having a standard USB port is a big deal because it allows you to add inexpensive hardware like USB keyboards.

    From what I have seen at my electronics store you have to get a bluetooth keyboard for the IPAD2 which costs $60.00.

  • Your Voice is NOT annoying.

  • i just got mine a few weeks ago and my wife has her ipad 2 for some time now

    im preffing the iconia though since im not really for the whole price thing nor the social status so that people would notice i can afford an apple here

    i got my hdmi, apps, good reso, etc

    plus costs less and does what i need it to do

  • I don't have either of them, but I would think the Acer Iconia wins :)

  • ну и что лучше

    

  • BORAT?hahhhhhahaah

    

  • I HAVE ACER ICONIA TOO AND ITS SUITS ME

  • great review your voice is anyoying as shit tho go back to comminist russia sir.

  • Everyone seems to be taken by the fact that the ipad is so thin....I dont know about you but I can barely tell the difference in the .3 lbs.Im interested in overall capability..not how pretty it seems.

  • We own the A500 as well as a Motorola xoom,we compared both side by side against the Ipad 2...there was no comparison the android devices are just better all around devices.Better apps,just better in general if your tech savy.Learn to root and flash roms to make them even better! idevices seem to be more of a fanboy/yuppy product....like people who have to wear hollister to feel cool,lol.

  • You have no idea how much of that room we saw every time you lifted one of those before the 4:28 mark. But yeah pretty sweet comparison my friend, good job ^^

  • Iconia Tab the Besstttt !!

  • Acer!!!!!!!!!!it the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I sold the Ipad 2 because Im a tech savvy kinda guy and my Acer was an Ipad killer. Maybe it wouldn't for you, if you just love apple maybe. I don't discriminate, the Acer just does more for "me". Quick drag files, load up and go to war. Customize and use programs like the Matrix ;-)

  • very informative! Thx

  • anyone watch the movie "just friends" ? he sounds like the guy who sells sheep on the internet lol

  • Your hands are sexy !! I dunno if its propper to call hands sexy xD !!

  • dont compare a ford to a ferrari

    ipad wins!

  • acer just kicked apple's ass

  • smoking too much crack

  • facetime = skype

    photobooth = instagram or camlite!!!

    dude apple is for losers as beginners. ur voice is really annying too

  • WRONG! the ipad.... it could only go up for 4 hours on multitalsking and the Iconia A500 comes faster and actually 7-9.5 hours :)

  • I already have an ipad 1 but if it ever breaks down I'm getting something like this. I haven't had any problems with the ipad so far and it works perfectly. But after seeing some videos like this you really start to realize that Apple charges a third more for half the functionality.

  • Now to compare the Transformer to the Iconia Tab V500/501. They are almost identical, the only difference is that the Iconia Tab has a slightly better front facing camera that is 0.5 MP higher in resolution. The only real difference is that the Transformer has a full-size HDMI port and the Iconia Tab has a mini-HDMI port.

  • @Zerox1ify not really, the biggest difference is IPS display on Asus vs LCD on Acer

  • @Zerox1ify and the transformer has an ips display

  • A massive flaw on Apple's part is that all their devices transmit passwords, user names, credit card numbers, and all other personal information are transmitted in clear-text. Meaning that no encryption is used. So anyone that has even the least amount of computer knowledge can capture your personal information with free tools found on-line. A warning to everyone out there, never use an Apple portable device to buy anything on-line. You run a major risk of identify theft and/or financial theft.

  • sagagear: The Iconia A500 uses flash memory, not a hard drive. You may be confusing this tablet with the dual screen iconia laptop.

  • Ipad is using Solid State Flash Drive vs. The Iconia using ATA 5400rpm. But I just rooted my Iconia using the Class 10 MicroSD and Overclocked the CPU to 2.1Ghz. It is still not comparable to the Ipad regarding multitasking but the speed is blowing the Ipad 2 away.

  • lol typical fanboys, they only look at hardware. haha motherfucking loserz. android rulezz!

  • acer for lozers

  • @yan5ichi well, i have the acer iconia tab a100 and i find it awesome. it even has the hdmi port, micro usb port, micro sd card slot (that can extend memory) and support for adobe flash plus there are way more customizations in it. Which iPads DOESNT ! asshole .

  • @yan5ichi and apple is for dumb asses such as yourself

  • @dominicanapiri1771 stop hating

  • @dominicanapiri1771 unless they're making phones/computers then they are AWESOME!!! but their tablets SUCK!!!

  • Your voice is annoying.

  • Google fan boys... 

  • @MatheusMRegis yes as google fan boys know a thing about quality! apple fan boys..........are just freaks

  • @MatheusMRegis apple fan boys

  • my dads a teacher and all teachers in our school disrivt got one he tells me all the time he wish he had mine the apps market is far bigger and vast and less regulated

  • i dont mind having a heavy device it gives you a workout without getting of your ass

  • Ipads and all of those apple freak-fans are obsessed with their products cause of their self-esteem issue. They think that by having an item from a brain washing company thats all about BS propaganda they might feel they are someone in life. lol

  • I have the Acer A500 and my brother has the Ipad, well used to have it. After he played with my Iconia he exchanged it. A500 is better than the Ipad in every way. NO DOUBT!

  • I think for someone who just wants a smooth system that just simply works, without complication, iOS is a good choice. I'm definitely more likely to recommend that to my parents, for example. For more adventurous users who love the freedom of tweaking and using their device for more advanced things, the Android is the better OS.

  • ipad 2 is like 100000000 time better in everything ,from colors to speed!! actually acer tablet sucks big time,,if you want to an android tablet go for samsung galaxy tab!!! the guy with the most "thumb up" comments ,,lying like a little bitch,,try it for your self and decide by your own

  • BS have both acer and iPad2 acer is way better it has a micro sd card slot , usb port for ur flash drives good for fixing a quick mistake on a paper and hdmi port and if u have an android phone u can get a free app to share its internet with the tablet anywhere!

  • @RAHZirk what a fucking lier,,why to have both tablets? what is the reason? at least you could lie properly saying that your friend have one tablet and you the other!!! ,,i have an ipad 2,and the reason is ia tested both devices,and ipad 2 was way smoother and better,,now samsung galaxy tab is decent,but again not an ipad!!

    and i dont care about hdmi port and usb port,,i have laptop for these things,,i need a tablet for partucular reason,,not for games,,and not for movies

  • @papcyrill yes...galaxy tab is the only android tablet that comes even close to the ipad...ipad is way better in terms of experience and apps availability

  • as if, most apple apps cost money and I what nots really look funny

  • @papcyrill how dumb are people these days the acer tablet has more room, if you want more you can add a SD card the camera is a lot better, oh and the acer tablet is faster if you were smart enough to figure that out
