  • Acer! Thanks guys!

  • Yes ! iconia is the better ! :D

    

  • Spoiled douchebag.

  • @mlim23 The GT is mine and the Acer is my friends, I worked for my dad who owns a company worked in a warehouse for about 2 months. That doesn't sound spoiled to me.

  • Comment removed

  • Acer keeps winning my heart

  • "they are booth the 16 gb models, not the 32s" now i see the light.

  • @DjKeeper Why would it matter?

  • @TheMasterdog3 thats what i want to know from the author. why did he say that? i think its because americans love to hear them selfes speak...

  • @DjKeeper Because 32gb models are also sold it doesn't matter just maybe you didn't know they came in the same capacity.

  • which one should i buy!!!!!!!!?

  • Yea, Acer is better. Full USB port for sixaxis controller Bluetooth pairing capability pretty much blows any other tab outta the water for gaming. Search my name for my vids.

  • @ipetloudog Its got a slower fps for gaming, Transformer prime blows any tablet out of the water for gaming besides a iPad of course.

  • @TheMasterdog3 ipad sucks its so hard to get psx games to actually work on that crap.

  • @TheMasterdog3 besides an ipad?? with windows do you know how much better the games are lol?

  • should I buy galaxy tab 10.1 or I should w8 for something elsE>

  • Aswell clearly a Galaxy tab fanboy, you say nothing good about the iconia. Didn't even say anything about the USB Port? or test out the cameras?

  • @YoshisDong coz it just sucks and 5mp camera doesnt means its betta

  • @YoshisDong watch from 1:20

  • I enjoy my a500 over my friends galaxy tab. The USB port is one of the main reasons why I bought it! I cant hook up a hub, connect a wireless mouse, put my external hard drive in it, use my bluetooth keyboard!

  • @chrisgangsta I returned it and got the Xoom instead. much better , and it automatically updated to 4.0 . not sure if Samsung is pushing the update but moto sure is .

  • the Acer is better I suggest it

  • @jaggsrule the acer is too heavy...and its noticeable, you cant use it as an ebook reader, i had one and i sold it to get a galaxy tab

  • @jaggsrule its not

  • 4G and sim card the headsetjack is right next to the power button on the Acer tablet

  • Dude... Well I guess you need to learn the specs before you do a complete review on either devices... The display varies as

    Samsung Display Type TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors

    Acer Display Type LCD capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors

    +

    Samsung does not support external upgradable memory card..Acer does

    and also Samsung cost $100 more than the Acer.... so the slight increase in weight and thickness may not be a great concern for the price difference.

  • @jinojjohn I went over the screen and memory card. I also do think a screen with 16 MILLION colors is worth $100 because 256 thousand vs 16 million is just pathetic. And you may need to pay attention no normal person will care about 16 million vs 256k. Its better just to explain it like a normal person would. I also did mention about the Acers Micro SD card slot.

  • Thank you!! this is exactly what I was looking for...this video told me everything I couldn't found on the internet...and these are exactly the 2 tablets I was comparing to decide which one to buy

  • Biased.

  • The Samsung one is almost $100 more expensive than Acer one today.

  • i feel ripped off i just ordered an A500 for 300 bucks thought it was a good deal but that screen looks like shit. i'll probably end up returning it.

  • @kenw30 i bought mine for 400 and the screen was such a turne off...i sold it for 300 cause the 30 days return time at best buy expired...im getting the galaxy tab....

  • YAY! schools giving us the acer for freeee!!! yay. just to brag

  • @mrseapig My school was given 64gb iPad's last year when they came out, that was cool.

  • @TheMasterdog3 Thats really cool

  • This isn't a very acurate comparison if the acer has a custom rom

  • It plays Netflix

  • Acer iconia is good, i used samsung galaxy, it's the same quality and an acer a500 where i live is 32gb for 400 dollars the same amount for any other 16gb honeycomb tablets, memorywise either pay 32gb for a 400 dollar acer iconia or a 16gb samsung galaxy for 400 dollars as well. or in easy words acer iconia = twice the memory for the same price

  • basically just the same software and tech specs and yet price really is a big difference.

  • I'm a noon to the tablet world..will the Acer play Netflix? And can I do the wired tether from my evo4g to the Acer for internet? I know my phone can be a Wi-Fi hotspots but that costs extra..the tether is free

  • Cool from CA))) Hi from in Russia =)

  • i own an iconia and my friend has a samsung galaxy and they are the same lol

  • did you try turning down the brightness on the iconica because the actual backlight could be completely different even if it is in the same spot in the options

  • some of the app tests are unfair because of the custom rom on teh iconica they can be different apps

  • Iconia is a lot cheaper than Glaxy.

  • so which one is better?

  • man acer is batter

  • la verdad que sos insoportable con el tema de los cartelitos en la pantalla

  • какого хрена?

  • Iconia, not Icona. Anyone?

  • thanks 4 ur efforts

  • @VOIDCin Put on a screen protector!!!

  • Both devices have their pros and cons.. The Iconia is slightly heavier than the Galaxy but also has a more durable feel to it.. however the screen of the Iconia will feel a bit cheaper than most.. "Like swiping your finger across a thick smooth slab of plastic".. (The screen is glass.) where as the Galaxy really captures that Glossy high quality glass screen we all look forward to.. other than that though.. the devices are relatively identical. and both are exceptional tablets.

  • for the price (100$ cheaper) i will take the acer...  simply for having a full usb port.

  • @djandrewbeezwax

    i agree, whats with tablets and even phones ommitting usb ports?

  • I cant believe these dudes got over a 100000 hits very boring good grief ....

  • both Galaxy and Iconia are upgradable for free to IceCream Sandwich in Jan-Feb 2012

    if you are willing to lose some of the screen resolution for the standard USB (you can use it for external HDD or 3G modems or CardReaders or Keyboards ) and gain some weight plus 75 dollars less, go for the iconia .... other wise , go for the galaxy , simple and clear

  • samsung is definitely one of the best screens manufacturer in the world ... however , the comparison is pointless , because they comes with exactly the same specification (Processor , Ram , VGA and SSD) .... the lag and delay in the Iconia because of your mistake , the loading on the Youtube video was also your mistake because you didn't dedicated a specific speed for each tablet , so when the galaxy started , it took the whole bandwidth momentarily before the router responds to the iconia

  • Samsung is definitely best, screen is gorgeous

  • unfair test cuz these are not the same roms

  • VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION CAN YOU GET ON OMEGLE WITH THE ACER!!!!!!!!

  • It is Iconia not Icona, pronouced i-co-NEE-a. You own a product you don't even know how to pronounce it's name, lol.

  • Why would you use RWJ as the video? That guy is too fucking stupid to use on an android tablet.

  • i have the galaxy tab and lets see you try and stream live tv to it got no chance also cant use sky go with the galaxy tab as andriod not available for sky go , even vlc wont work and catch up tv

  • iconia was faster in opening the camera, he was all along with the galaxy tab, who made samsung the king of tablets? i personally don't care for the minor differences between those two. i find iconia is pretty much impressive and cheaper. i don't care about how thin it is as long its working properly.

  • Like "strifeknight" stated. Thats is fuckin rediculious..To say it is huge. It is not huge. It is actually pretty thin. And it has a slight weight to it, nothing major what so ever. You sound like a douche.

  • @MacIsMyLover104 You've never felt them next to each other then.

  • how much does the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 cost please reply

  • iconia is faster he cheated

  • @TNAenigma2161

    By no means is it faster. I've compared them both side by side, and the Acer is very poorly built and sluggish. The Samsung is very well built, and really fast and snappy.

  • Got to ask you what watch is that on your wrist there? Casio Mudman?

  • realy good video! But im not from USA and i cant understand so much your words. So which one is the better one (not from the money side, just like functions and etc) Galaxy Tab VS. Acer Iconia a500 ? (respect from bulgaria)

  • beast camera u got there

  • @CheekyLeoGames yes you can

  • Ok thanks, but for example in this case whrere u can buy the Acer Iconia with Android 3.0 or 3.1 can u update it for 3.2 (which is already released)

  • Hey I´ve got an question: If u buy a Acer Iconia Tab A500 with Android 3.0 can u update it to 3.2 free?

  • @CheekyLeoGames If/when Acer Iconia updates there software its the company that determines what can be put on the device, but you could do a custom rom if you wanted to.

  • @CheekyLeoGames there would be no point, ice cream sandwich (android 4.0) is coming as an update for the iconia...

  • @Squeemin Really o.O

  • @CheekyLeoGames yes ice cream sandwich comes out as an update during January 2012 (for free if anyone was wondering)

    i think you should so a comparison then... since now the galaxy would win due to its updated os its an unfair comparison

  • @Squeemin Ok thx =) I finally got the Iconia Tab A500 for Christmas :D

  • @CheekyLeoGames cool i've been using my dads and i am considering getting myself one the thing is great

  • @Squeemin Yes ^^ But its kinda useless ^^ you dont need it really but when 4.0 comes out then i ll start developing apps on it ..... so i have to wait

  • @CheekyLeoGames is it good?should i get it?

  • @hrvatbr1 Yes :) I totally recomment it and in My opinion it´s better then the iPad 2 =).

    It runs very fast and good =) and Android 3.2. Just a great tablet... (sry for bad English I am german)

  • @CheekyLeoGames

    Yes men i got 3.2 honey comb free

  • @CheekyLeoGames Yes you can

  • Both are great tablets just that the Galaxy Tab is lack of ports. Awesome review by the way.

  • very good demonstration i like it good job . i think the screen color for samsung and how slim it is make galaxy better but i still don't like the idea of not having expandable Memory card plus the camera as 3 3.0 Megapixel is not that much compering to acer . still i will prefer samsung coz for the navigation speed which is very smooth

  • Not sure if anyone mentioned but this is an unfair comparison with the Iconia running the custom Transformer rom. This could be the reason for some of the lag. If your going to do a comparison do it with factory stock units.

  • the way this video goes the reviewer already decided it which one he like :).He point it out the acer is like a brick lol,do you know how thick the brick is?and what the weight of lightest tablet is? since you use that word in your review .Please if you don't know how to review a product do not misleading people with your comment

  • I am in the market for a tablet; looking at the Galaxy because of the good reviews, but I travel to a country where the connectivity best suited is thru a wimax modem that uses a USB port; under the circumstances would the Iconia tablet be the better choice or is there any other now or near future (announced) that would be more appropriate. By the way, I want to use the tablet to trade the markets (stocks and FX), are there apps out there to do this; and how about OFFICE like applications

  • How good is the battery on the Acer ??

  • ios is for losers

  • I'm attracted to this video because I'm in it.

  • @AllAboutNikon Stop lying.

  • @TheMasterdog3 Haha, you know my Acer Iconia was sexy

  • @AllAboutNikon  LOL

  • thanks man u r awesome

  • ai o fata de poponar

  • Both are great tablets ! :) unlike the iPad

  • they both good but the gtab wins

  • The Acer Support Usb? Finally Wich It´s Better Samsung Or Acer?!

  • The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best android tablet.

  • i mean like can you go somewhere with no wifi & have wifi with your tablet on the acer ? like can your acer have its own wifi , or how can i do this?

  • @TAYYKAYY01 I think you are referring to 3/4G cellular signals. No tablet let alone any regular computer can make it owns "Wi-Fi" network. You can get the iconia in a 3G variant, but the Galaxy Tab has a 4G variant which will prove drastically better speeds in a 4G area.

  • can the acer a500 get wifi anywhere ?

  • @TAYYKAYY01 You can get Wi-Fi anywhere Wi-Fi is available on both tablets, but you must also know the WEP passcode to each Wi-Fi network if they are not open or owned by you.

  • Flash Acer to standart Acer's firmware then compare it to others.

  • 1 question, if your used to using the tab, why would you gget the acer one then???

  • @iMackid97 The Gtab is mine the Acer's is my partners.

  • I'll gladly sacrafice the xtra weight and the half second lag time for all the xtras the Acer gives like expandable memory USB ports and right now $150 cheaper

  • I'll sacrifice the xtra weight and half a second is speed for t

  • the Iconia tab is better than the Galaxy tab

  • acer iconia ftw !

  • whats the point ot this comparison?? very poor.. some kid reading the tech specs.. useless..

  • @Lunatiq1 No one was reading tech specs. These were all real world tests.

  • Comment removed

  • What is the price for them?

  • Acer Iconia Tab A500 is fucking awesome

  • @MrSaloomxxx indeed!

    

  • LOL, Iconia display is rubbish !

  • Thanks, helpful vid

  • Ok,

    Ive been looking at various laptops and have checked out the Acer A500. One question i have is it possible to play Farmville on this? On any tablet for that matter?

    Ive been looking online and cant find a definite answer one way or another on this.

  • @ZX2ManDave I would definitely not buy a tablet for use farmvillie, yes I suppose you could with Android tablets that have flash. The experience would be pretty horrible compared to a laptop though, because of the way Facebook accepts touchs in the desktop version of it.

  • @TheMasterdog3

    I see. I really wasnt interested in buying one simply to play farmville on. I usually play it at home on my computer. Its just if im not home and have the tablet with me it would be nice to be able to log onto Facebook and check on some of the games i normally play such as Farmville and Social City-it wouldnt be a main tool for use on playing those games all the time though.

    As long as i can do basics with it on Farmville thats all im concerned about.

  • @ZX2ManDave Yeah, I would probably go with a smaller laptop for about $500 for Farmville then a tablet, they just aren't that good for games when you need to touch and drag stuff.

  • lol i think he didnt kno the name of the spot he lookd at first...

    he skiped it

  • @vizard00001 No its just that I recorded with no audio, and then went back and did a voice over on the computer.

  • I have a legit question, why the FUCK is everything with tablets based on how thin it is, or how 1 weighs .00000007 oz than another, like seriously who the fuck cares? Is it going to break your arm cuz its a fraction of an ounce heavier? No, are you going to have to get a case the size of a backpack to carry it around cuz its 1cm thicker? No, that kinda crap makes me want to smack the shit out of people.

  • @strifeknight It really does when your holding them for period of time it can prevent you from wanting to use it as often (from what I've seen), I know it doesn't sound like much but in real world use it is.

  • @strifeknight I am complately agree with you...!

    When the people talk about this one 50 gr lighter or heavier...Makes me sick!

    The most imp.thing that tablet enough for you or not?

  • @strifeknight

    It was not .00000007 oz thinner. And no, thinner tablets feel better in the hand than say the HP TouchPad. I was going to go for the Asus Transformer but then went for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the weight and thinness.  The Samsung feels so good in the hand while the Asus Transformer feels too bulky and heavy. IT DOES NOT BREAK YOUR ARM BUT IT'S STILL IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHY NOT BUY A THINNER AND LIGHTER TABLET IF THE DIFFERENCE IS SIGNIFICANT.

  • good work

  • its hard to say 3.. 2.. 1.. tuch ?

  • the acer iconia a500 its better than galaxy tab 7''???

  • What kinda freak is ths guy?!?! I've NEVER in my life SEEN anyone that coordinated with both hands!!!!!!

  • @jarvisdtillman Haha it was me & my friend not just 1 person.

  • @jarvisdtillman haha that was funny :))

  • @jarvisdtillman Hilarious!

  • @jarvisdtillman LOL, it's two people.

  • @jarvisdtillman in case you R blind...there are 2 diferent persons.

  • @jarvisdtillman his friend was typing in the other side.lol

  • nice demo

  • You seem nervous.... Em can you get iTunes on either of these as I want to be able to sync music to my iPod!! 

  • update your samsung

  • no MicroSD for galaxy ? SHAME!

  • By the way, great review and demonstration.

  • @aaabbbccc15340 its not copying the ipad at all. Apple actually buys stuff from Samsung for their products. thats why samsungs devices and ui's tend to look similar, because apple buys from them. so actually it could be considered the opposite. and thats based off fact not biased because i favor the Acer.

  • Those of you that want keyboards and other things that defeat the purpose of buying a tablet instead if a netbook, you all seem to be forgetting there are bluetooth keyboards out there. Also the galaxy has an adapter that connects to hdmi.

  • @Chrisnuzzo76 Agreed.

  • Had to go with the Acer. Tried both but what won me over is the fact that Galaxy does not have that many ways to connect to anything. Only thing that Galaxy had what Acer did not have was the internal 3G. With Acer I can go and buy 32GB microsd card and up the memory, or put usb-drives to it, or use usb mouse and keyboard (Even my BT diNovo Mini worked). Only downside with Acer is the REALLY short powercable.

  • I prefer the iconia tab

  • I can't decide between two of those things. Those two(acer iconia tab & samsung tab 10.1) are the most hottest tablets on the planet my pick on this one. I got to go with the acer iconia tab

  • @tokyomonk123 Its also slower, has a lower quality display, and is heavier. But if your into that kind of thing who am I to say.

  • @TheMasterdog3 why u said iconia is slow? isnt both of these use tegra2 cpu? i know the display is not good as galaxy tab..but why it is slow? mind to explain? because i do not know which one to get...help me..thanks!

  • @StarZu93 As they do both have Tegra 2, the software optimization on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 are much better than the Acer Iconia so they have made the Galaxy faster.

  • @tokyomonk123 look at prices

  • @tokyomonk123 the screen isn't bigger, so it being bigger is a bad thing

  • Is there a 3G + WiFi version for the Samsung 10.1?

    If so, for how much in the US?

    Thanks.

  • @HatemShredHed Actually a 4G version on Verizon, with 16gb $530 32gb $630, but there is a 2 year contract that must be signed.

  • Because of the rom

  • I hate the screen on the acer! It`s so blur!

  • thanks, very informative.

  • You guys really knew how to do the review. I've checked to see how other people make theirs, but you guys nailed it! Great job on the review comparrison! Keep up the good work.
