The Acer Iconia Tab A100 makes a claim that's worth repeating: it's the first 7-inch tablet to run Android 3.2. It is the first in the ongoing parade of Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablets, and with a price that undercuts Apple's iPad 2, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Motorola Xoom, etc, the Iconia Tab A100 distinguishes itself in a crowded field. This tablet earns props for its much strength, such as its inclusion of both a USB port and a microSD Card slot, its support for Dolby Mobile audio, and its custom home screen widgets that help organize applications. It seems that the 7-inch form factor is much favored by many people because it makes the perfect balance between mobility and screen real estate. Though somewhat short in battery, the Acer Iconia Tab A100 is still good for movie playback on board. The following guide shows you how to put a Blu-ray/DVD movie to Acer Iconia Tab A100 under Mac OS X Lion.
