Question: External Keyboard Does anyone know of an external keyboard - either bluetooth or USB - other than the Acer, that will work with the A100?  I bought a Logitech bluetooth and it would not work. Any ideas?  I would prefer something fairly small or foldable.
Document: * No charging through the USB port. You have to use the included charger. * I haven't tried a keyboard with it yet. Everything I've read says bluetooth keyboards are hit or miss with this tablet, and Acer's expensive keyboard is the only one guaranteed to work perfectly.
Although, we will be doing very little movie watching, it had a really tinny sound. I did buy a holder with an external keyboard for the tablet, one to protect the tablet and two to be able to prop it up so that it doesn't have to be held all the time.My only complaint would be that there are apps that will not work on the Iconia.
It last about 5 hrs, but with all the option like GPS, Bluetooth, and CPU power, Apple iPad would have last similar 5hrs, so not so surprising.3.Home button is kinda sensitive and sometimes it gets triggered while using the tablet4.Video recording is not great under low light.5.USB Host - I don't think I cannot connect USB card reader to read my Compact Flash cards6.On screen keyboard is bit smaller than iPad's when in portrait mode...
My son's Kindle Fire charges via USB and his battery will last a good 10 hours. Sorry Acer, I don't buy your excuses.I managed to buy both the A100 and A500 for about 1/2 the going price (both were special deals), so for all the money I saved, I figure I can live with the no-USB charging thing. But I would never pay full price for either of these knowing I'd need to carry a "brick" everywhere I went.
After a day of charging, nothing. I left it on the charger for another couple of days just in case, then I decided to drain battery (I know, sometimes my ideas make no sense). Still nothing. Obviously, charging was a bust.Contacted Acer and they said my device was out of warranty, BUT they were aware of this problem so they would send me info on how to return it and they would see about fixing it, but could not promise anything.
I own both the A100 and the A500. The A100 goes with me EVERYWHERE, and the A500 is in my backpack (with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse) for real editing jobs. (I'm writing this on my A500.) Both tablets are great. The screens are amazing--bright, clear, colorful. Both upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3), which is one heck of an operating system. Both have plenty of horsepower.
The dual core is fast. Screen response is very good. Dual speakers (unfortunately both on one side of the unit, but does provide better volume). Lots of plugs (USB, HDMI, MSD card slot, ear phones) as well as Bluetooth and wifi. No availability for Internet access other than wifi (a definite disadvantage, but then, no monthly charges either), but that's not unusual for units of this type.The system is well-built and sturdy.
Included software can be somewhat garbage, but there are always alternatives. Camera and video work well.I find only two flaws with this tablet: 1) There are better viewscreens (this one fairly blurs out in daylight) and 2) It cannot power from the USB port (which means power drains while plugged into your computer rather than charging).
I have used it on and off for 2 days without having to recharge. I wish ACER chargers attached to auto and home USB chargers either from computers or from wall or car USB chargers. This small ACER gives the iPad a run for the money. The micro SD card adds plenty of room for pictures and music. For $349 the 100 is the best buy on the market at this time.
Don't know if it's the OS or the operator. However, I do find that some apps are not ready for the Honeycomb upgrade - some don't work right or at all. Had problems with Kindle app after installing right out of the box, constant crashing, but someone must have tweaked something somewhere (maybe at Amazon? ), now it works perfectly. The only other problem is lack of accessories - namely, car charger.
Answer: USB keyboards will not work with this tablet.  The tablet must have USB host capability and the current firmware does not support it.  Maybe when ICS comes out . . . but until then, you will need a bluetooth keyboard.
