Nice tablet for the most part.
|Posted .I like this tablet for the most part. Battery life could be better. I really like the Micro HDMI to Regular HDMI, with allows you to use your tablet on your TV for playing game or watching Netflix.

Excellent value, nice screen
Posted .This review is based on the purchasing price and how it performed to how I use it. I picked this up about a month ago when Best Buy offered a $40 gift card with purchase. Effectively the net cost is $99.95. Based on cost and performance so far, I feel that it is a very good valued 8” tablet and would recommend it. I used it mainly for web surfing and streaming video (YouTube, TVB Americas, etc and no Netflix.) Though the screen resolution is 1280 x 800, it is clear and quite bright (see photo). I normally set the brightness at no more than 15% (bright enough indoor) and battery lasted around 7 hrs almost every charge. Full charge from 5% takes about 3 hours. The touch pad is usually accurate and fast enough. Video has no lag. As for tablet where speakers are usually the weaker components, sound and music are adequate. One very useful feature is the micro HDMI port. I can connect the Tab 8 to my Panny plasma and enjoy big screen video instead. I made these comparisons and found that the picture quality from the Tab 8 HDMI port is very close to the Sony. 1) YouTube HD video fed to plasma from a Sony S590 3D Blu ray player 2) The same HD video fed to plasma via the micro HDMI port of the Tab 8. The video is played using the YouTube app (not through YouTube.com) And the video quality on the 8” screen is not bad either. I have used the back camera but I really don’t care for it since I use SLR cameras. It worked good both still and video. Bar code reader worked good. I guess the bad part is that the pre-loaded apps cannot be removed. The speakers are located at edge opposite to the front camera. Usually video is watched with tablet in landscape orientation like a HDTV, this makes the speakers totally off to either right or left, making any stereo sound effect useless.

Great tablet
|Posted .I was looking for a tablet that wasn't too expensive but that was good. I love this tablet, it's light not too big but also not too small. I don't have to be squinting to read emails. I can watch videos and movies and play games on it better than in my phone. Battery time is also pretty good. Love it!!!

BATTERY LIFE IS THE LOUSIEST I'VE EVER SEEN
Posted .I bought this tablet because after reading the specs and reviews on the Acer website I thought it would be a good value for the price. I am very disappointed, THEY STATE 7.50 HOURS OF VIDEO BATTERY LIFE . I get a max of 6 hours using it only to do email, read books and surf the net.

Pleasantly Surprised!
Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI've had Ipads and recently a Kindle Fire HDX, an i have to tell you, you can't go wrong, with this Iconia 8 ESPECIALLY with a Best Buy $40 gift certificate thrown in. Its like a breath of fresh air being able to download Android apps without going through hoops. The screen, is fantastic! Bright bold colors, solidly made, very fast processor, the only thing i have noticed is the touch screen may not be as responsive as the other two tablets. For me, this replacement is a welcome addition and has replaced my other two tablets. Pocket the money that it would have cost you for the other tablets and pick up an Iconia 8

why does best buy even sell this?
|Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendthe tablets appearance is nice, and it worked very well, but the camera just did not work. Every time I opened it, on the front camera and rear camera, there was nothing but green. When I looked up the tablet on the Internet, almost everybody has the same exact problem with this tablet. Whether it be the front camera alone or the rear camera alone or both of them either way they always get a green screen. I replaced the tablet within same exact one and same thing happened. I found no reason to keep replacing it with the same tablet since after reading on the internet that sometimes the green screen takes a month maybe two months or even a couple days to appear. I went with the Lenovo a8 it's bigger it's better it's faster and its cheaper.
